Hi all,

Running samba 3.5.5 in a Solaris non-global zone. I have created a folder 
(StudentJobApplications) on a share  which I want to make accessible only to 
members of a Unix group (studempl). I have added myself to the group but when I 
or other group members try to access the folder via Windows Explorer I get the 
following:

I:\StudentJobApplications is not accessible
Access is denied

Here are some of the particulars:

The folder:
# ls -ld /departments/common/StudentJobApplications
drwxrwx---   2 root     studemp        2 Jul 11 08:34 
/departments/common/StudentJobApplications

The group (etc/group):
studempl::2018:mylogin,otheruserlogin.....

The share definition in smb.conf:

# --------------------------------------
# shared directory for ALL staff
# --------------------------------------
[libshare]
   comment     = Library staff shared directory
   path        = /<path>
   browseable  = yes
   writeable   = yes
   create mask = 0777
   force create mode = 0777
   directory mask = 0777
   valid users = +group1 +group2 +group3 +group4 +group 5 +group6 +group7 
+group8............+group17 +studempl
   invalid users = +circdesk

Note: I am a member of one of the groups defined in valid users above.

I have not restarted the samba server but I don't think that would be necessary.

Actually I would like to set the permissions on the folder to be -rwxrws--- but 
just being able to access it would be a start. I would appreciate ang comments 
or suggestions.

Thank you.
