Well, yes, on Linux you could create a new group, add the needed users to the group, then set this group as the owner for the directory and all its contents (chown -R user.group directory), and finally set the right permissions on dir and contents (chmod -R 770 directory). Of course, some smb.conf options for the share could conflict with these, e.g. "admin users", "force user"... A separate share would be a "cleaner" solution. -- Ciao, Marco. ..."Crac!", Area 1975 -- To unsubscribe from this list go to the following URL and read the instructions: http://lists.samba.org/mailman/listinfo/samba
