Changing the @ to a + seems to make no difference. Also, according to the Help file that came with samba, the @ is the proper syntax: "This is a list of users that are given read-write access to a service. If the connecting user is in this list then they will be given write access, no matter what the read only option is set to. The list can include group names using the @group syntax." > > force group = +sales > > Try force group = sales > > > I can only edit the file as user tpw.

If the group name listed here has a '+' character prepended to it then the current user accessing the share only has the primary group default assigned to this group if they are already assigned as a member of that group."
