Well, I thought I knew Samba permissions, but I guess I don't.

Currently, any user that has an account on the Samba server has access to the share "Accounting".

So, let's say I have user1, user2, user3, user4
I have added user1, user2 and user3 to the accounting group. user4 is not a member of accounting.


On the server itself (not for Samba), I set up permissions for the folder as 774 for all directories and files therein. User/group permission are set as admin.accounting

The samba section for this share reads:

[Accounting]
        comment = Accounting
        path = /home/accounting
        read only = No
        create mask = 0770
        force create mode = 0770
        security mask = 0770
        directory mask = 0770
        force directory mode = 0770
        directory security mask = 0770
        inherit permissions = Yes


If any local user access this share, they also automatically become part of the accounting group (as far as samba is concerned).


Now, if I add a line "valid users = user1, user2, user 3" then of course, just they can get in. But that doesn't seem to be the right solution. The right solution would be to permit only accounting group users into the folder. What am I doing wrong?
