'path = /etc/samba' could be a better alternative...
But then again.. how 'add/change/delete share commands' will know that this particular user has access to this [config] share even if path is left as '/'? So, it probably won't work via those commands - user will need to edit smb.conf by hand while accessing it via the [config] share.

**** W A R N I N G **** whoever 'theusername' is will have complete access to all files listed in or below the path directory (your entire box as shown above). If you can limit the path to say /home or wherever the files of concern are, you would be much better off.

Hello.
I need to allow one of my users to add & delete shares on my Samba
through the 'server manager' applet on his client .
This same user also writes some files to the same Samba server. I don't want the files that he writes to be owned/written by 'root' .
The way I understand the 'add share command' currently, this is not possible.
Am I missing something?
I think you are right. User can not have more than 1 identity when connecting to Samba. If it's an Administrator everything will be done from the root account.
