[Samba] Multiple Groups Assigned to a File

[Jess Cannata]

I'm new to this group so I hope that this is the right place to ask this question (if not, let me know):

We are setting up several Samba servers and we've run into a problem with file permissions. We've have a few shared folders that we'd like for some GROUPS to have read/write access and other GROUPS to have only read access. I cannot figure out how to do this because Linux/Unix seems to have the limitation that a file can only be owned by one user and one group, and the permissions are only applicable to the owner (user and group). Is there a way to assign more than one group to a file, and make it so the different groups have different permissions (Like NDS and Microsoft do)? If not, how do people get around this?

Thanks for any help.
