Hi Malte,
Unfortunately still no luck with this one. Any ideas why ?
Thanks for your help.

Hi Malte,
Sorry to bug you with this, but I've tried it and it does not seem to work - perhaps something I've missed ?
Running "testparm" gives me the following error:
"Can't find include file /usr/local/samba/lib/%g-smb.conf"
In my smb.conf I have the following: comment = Home Directories read only = no create mask = 0600 directory mask = 0700 browseable = no include = /usr/local/samba/lib/%g-smb.conf
In the /usr/local/samba/lib/students-smb.conf file I have only the following:
veto files = /*.mp3/*.avi/*.mpg/
Running smbmount and mounting the share as the user who is a student and writing a .mp3 file to the share works perfectly when it should be denied.
When I do this I get the same "can't find include file..." error before smbmount actually mounts the share.
I've tried various things including "%G" instead of "%g" etc. It just seems that Samba is not expanding the %G or %g variables.
Any ideas ?
Thank you for your assistance.

ReHi,
You could also include just a students.conf or students-home.conf in the [home] Definition:
[home]
path=/home
...
include %G-home.conf
If there is no %G-home.conf e.g. teachers-home.conf, then nothing is included. Otherwise the definitions are overwritten or extended by the %G-home.conf.
You just have to write less lines.

Hi guys,
I use "veto files = /.mp3/.mpg/" etc. on the [homes] share to prevent users from storing media files on a Samba server in the home directories.
My client now wishes to make this restriction apply to users who are members of only certain groups.
E.g. This restriction must apply to users who are members of the "Students" group and not apply to users in the "Teachers" group.
I was thinking of having a blank smb.conf file with only the following in it:
include = /etc/samba/smb.conf.%G
Then having two smb.conf files, namely smb.conf.Teachers and smb.conf.Students.
The smb.conf.Students file would have the entire config file and the "veto files" parameter.
The smb.conf.Teachers file would have the entire config file but without the "veto files" parameter.
Makes sense ? Is there perhaps a better way to do this ?
Many thanks
