Linksys NSLU2 help needed

I've just bought a NSLU2 and it generally seems to work OK, but I'm
having a slight difficulty with user groups permissions. Here's the
story:

1) I have set up a share directory called 'projects' under Disk 1
(formatted at EXT3), then set up 'project1' and 'project2' share
directories under 'project'.

2) I have given 'Group1' and 'Group2' read access to 'project'

3) Group1 has RW access to project1 and Group2 has RW access to
project2

4) I have added myself as a user that is a member of Group1, but not
Group2

5) If I use 'Add a New Network Place' or 'Map a Network Drive' to link
directly to the 'project1' directory, I can access the folder as
expected.

6) If I use the same process to link to 'project2', I am refused, as
expected.

7)If I use the same process to link directly to the top level
'projects' share, I can see the two directories below it, but I can't
have write access to either of them.

I want (7) to be the default setup because I'd like all users to see
the top level share directory, but only have R or RW access to certain
sub-folders.

Have I explained this clearly? Any suggestions? I am using Windows XP

Thanks

Simon

why are you posting network storage questions in alt.internet.wireless?

Hi,
I found some posts on the NSLU2 here a while back, asked a few
questions and got some useful answers back from the people here.

I also it to a hardware.storage newsgroup. Where do you think would be
the best place to ask?
