Re: [Samba] multiple levels of group permissions on some folders in a share
From: Harondel J. Sibble h...@pdscc.com Date: Thu, 11 Aug 2011 08:57:41 -0700 trying to figure out the best way to accomplish this, running samba 3.x on a debian system in share level mode (workgroup) have a shared folder for all the staff that they have permssions to by membership of being in the staff group, this share has about 40-50 subfolders. (snip) What's the best way to allow them access to the 5 folders without allowing them to get access to the other 45 or so folders? (snip) I could create a new share for each folder, but if they decide to expand the list of allowed folders, that gets clunky. What does your clunky mean? Creating 5 new shares is most easy solution I think. Instead if you can use ACL, you can create a group, make interns belong to the group and add ACL entries to the 5 folders only, which allow access to the group. Setting hide unreadable = yes other 45 folders cannot be seen by interns. So I created a new share for the intern and symlinked the 5 subfolders which they can see just fine, but they get a permission denied which makes sense since the intern account is not part of larger group with access to the 5 folders in question. Setting chmod o+rwx to the 5 folders is a way I think. --- TAKAHASHI Motonobu mo...@samba.gr.jp -- To unsubscribe from this list go to the following URL and read the instructions: https://lists.samba.org/mailman/options/samba
[Samba] multiple levels of group permissions on some folders in a share
trying to figure out the best way to accomplish this, running samba 3.x on a debian system in share level mode (workgroup) have a shared folder for all the staff that they have permssions to by membership of being in the staff group, this share has about 40-50 subfolders. now they have an intern starting and want to restict that intern to 5 of those folders which they'll access from an XP machine I could create a new share for each folder, but if they decide to expand the list of allowed folders, that gets clunky.
