I'm working with Samba 3 on my Gentoo box. So far setting up andconfiguring Samba w/ldap and krb5 support is pretty straight forwared. My Gentoo box is now a member server of the domain, shows up in Active Directory.


I can get a kerbereos ticket from our W2K PDC and connect to windows shares with as little effort as:
smbclient //server/share -k


Now I'm ready to start moving into setting permissions on directories and files for my Samba shares.

I did read chapters 12 & 13 of the how to but I'm still stuggling.

So far I have:

1. created a share:
  [Linux Software]
  comment = Help your self
  browseable = yes
  writable = yes
  path = /mnt/windows/Software/
  #nt acl support = true
  public = yes
  write list = @domadm

2. I created a user named jon and have added him to the domadm group also did an 
smbpasswd -a.
   Jon set his linux password to match his windows password - I don't know if this is 
critical...

3. The unix permisions on /mnt/windows/Software:
        drwxr--r--   57 tim  root        32768 Oct  8 00:49 Software

4. I have tried to give ownership of the /mnt/windows/Software directory to domadm but 
I cannot-
   It comes back with:
        bash-2.05b$ chgrp domadm Software
        chgrp: changing group of `Software': Operation not permitted
   I did this as root.  The partition is a FAT32 Partition.


Now as tim from my windows xpbox I can browse the Linux Software share but jon can not!


I have jon in the domadm group, the share is browseable...what am I missing?

I love Samba - but I really need to nail down how I'm going to implement permissions on directories and files!
