QuickBooks Error When on Linux File Server

[TimeCode]

I should have posted this almost 2 weeks ago but I am finally getting around to doing it...The batch file stopped working one day so I went out and monkeyed with it again. I noticed that I could change the "Owner" of the files to a group. So, with the necessary users being admins, I changed the "Owner" to be the admin group and viola!!! No more issues.

I had no idea that you could set a group as an owner. I've never looked at that on a Windows server... Maybe I should.

I haven't played too much as I've no need to, but they can be tricky devils. Also be aware that with linux ALL devices are files and since they are files sometimes permissions can cause things to not work (like no access to USB or Serial Ports, no access to video inputs, etc.)

Good to hear it was something simple and easily fixed. Did you go and admit your oversight to the big honcho??

I told his second in command because he wasn't there that day.

And they are fully aware that I don't know much about Linux. I got this gig because their previous guy just walked away from IT all together and I was recommended by some friends of theirs.
