Dear SAmba Sorry to trouble you again but here is my problem.
I want to have a directory writeable only for users in a unix group "accounts" so i need to do two things. 1. Create the group and user in linux 2. Create the relevant masks for the samba share for this directory so i do this: 1 # mkdir /dev/accounts 2. # chgrp accounts /dev/accounts 3. # chmod 0770 /dev/accounts ##i think these are right for Owner & group ### in my smb.conf [accounts] browseable = yes path = /dev/accounts read only = no write list = @accounts create mask = 770 directory mask = 770 i have added a user to the /etc/groups file using vi to the accounts group from my windowsnt4 pc i attach to the network share ok if i attempt to create a new folder i am told that i may not be able to access files under it if i attempt to create a file under the share i get access denied. what chmod to i need on the directory and what "masks" are needed in the smb.conf, i seem to be going round in circles!!! i know this is so so simple but it is driving me nuts. kind regards rod -- To unsubscribe from this list go to the following URL and read the instructions: http://lists.samba.org/mailman/listinfo/samba
