Good idea! Here is the existing config: [global] workgroup = mrpp server string = Samba Server printcap name = /etc/printcap load printers = yes cups options = raw log file = /var/log/samba/%m.log max log size = 50 socket options = TCP_NODELAY SO_RCVBUF=8192 SO_SNDBUF=8192 dns proxy = no idmap uid = 16777216-33554431 idmap gid = 16777216-33554431 template shell = /bin/false password server = None username map = /etc/samba/smbusers winbind use default domain = no [homes] comment = Home Directories browseable = no writeable = yes [printers] comment = All Printers path = /var/spool/samba browseable = no printable = yes [data] comment = Shared Data Folder on RAID1 path = /data guest ok = yes writeable = yes
What I'd like to do is create several more restrictive shares under /data. I can restrict by specific users or users in defined in a group. Would my last example do this? [marketing] comment = Marketing path = /data1/marketing valid users = mary fred public = no writable = yes printable = no create mask = 0765 On 12/13/06, [EMAIL PROTECTED] <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote:
I've done a lot of this. Group shares generally work just fine. Heck as long ago as 8 years ago I had this working for a large company with each branch having their own shared folder areas. The folks didn't even know that it was a Linux box running samba that they were attaching to. Why don't you post your config.
