Many thanks, the 'valid users' option is exactly what was missing.

Hey,
We have a similar setup here. I have all the users of a share in a
secondary group together.
chown whomever:sharegroup on the share directory
chmod 2770 on the share directory
Here is the relevant bit of my smb.conf
[IT]
comment = IT Test Share
path = /home/it
valid users = @it
force group = it
read only = No
create mask = 0770
directory mask = 0770
strict allocate = Yes
use sendfile = Yes
preserve case = No
hide special files = Yes
hide unreadable = Yes
browseable = No
fstype = FAT
wide links = No
For maintainability I would recommend reading up on the copy option of
smb.conf for shares. I have 20+ shares which are all setup identically
and have but one place to make changes to all of them.
As a side note for a shortcut I suspect you are looking for the valid
users option of smb.conf.

Hello,
Samba 3.0.23d PDC on CentOS 4.4, smbpasswd backend, Windows XP clients.
I recently took over the administration of a small LAN (~35 hosts). The
shared drives had been implemented in a hurry and the configuration had never
been revisited. Linux groups had been enabled for different shares, but this
had never been enforced on the file server.
I have implemented linux group quotas on the file system that contains our
shared folders, but it has not worked according to my expectations.
I changed the group ownership of each share and its contents according to
the relevant role and appropriate access level, and set the group sticky on
each share and its subfolders. I also added the default create modes for each
share into smb.conf:
force create mode = 0770
force directory mode = 0770
After this I enabled quotas on the filesystem for the specific group that
owns each share. However, in Windows every folder shows with the same usage
and quota regardless of the assigned quota, and that quota seems to be the
quota assigned to the primary group that each user belongs to i.e. users. If I
remove the quota on the users group then the full filesystem space is displayed
in Windows Explorer for every share.
If I add the option:
force group = +sales
to the sales share, for example, the correct quota for sales is visible in
explorer, however any user can then access the sales folder regardless of the
groups that they belong to.
Is there a way I can enable group quotas that are displayed correctly in
Explorer and also limit access to only the members of the appropriate groups
for each share?
Best regards,
Simon Barrett
