Gerard,
Since Samba honors the underlying permissions of the file system,
control that with the POSIX permissions of the subfolder.
Assuming there are only files in /u02/pub/expenses/hardware, then:
chmod 755 /u02/pub/expenses/hardware
chmod 644 /u02/pub/expenses/hardware/*
Modify accordingly to fit what actually exists in your file system.

Hi,
I currently I have a Samba share configured as follows:
[pub_fileshare]
comment = Public fileshare
path = /u02/pub
guest ok = Yes
writeable = Yes
There is a subfolder under /u02/pub called /u02/pub/expenses/hardware
that I need to make read only. How do I do this? I am new to using
Samba.
I configured the share /u02/pub/expenses/hardware using the
configuration below. This works as it is shared as read only.
[hardware]
comment = Hardware share
path = /u02/pub/expenses/hardware
read only = Yes
guest ok = Yes
User can still access the folder through
\\servername\pub\expenses\hardware with write permissions. How do I make
it read only?
Thanks for your help.
