To set the permissions, you must configure Samba so that the user account that is
starting the storage agent has root access.
About this task
The following example explains how to configure Samba 2.2.2. Other versions of Samba might
require different configuration steps.
Procedure

directory.

Add the following line to the user.map file, where
admin represents the user account that is starting the storage agent:
root = root administrator admin
-
Add the following line to the global section of the Samba smb.conf
file:
