Thx for your help.

Another question :

What does this exactly means :

        vfs object = recycle:recycle
        recycle:repository = .deleted
        recycle:keeptree = Yes
        recycle:touch = Yes
        recycle:versions = Yes


?

Maxime, you are still not telling me what files users are accessing and
getting the message.  Are they Microsoft Word and Excel and Access
documents?  Microsoft Office default templates???

I will explain what my users are doing and how I made that work.

Each user has their own folder.  They create, update, change and delete
files in this folder and must have all ownership and accesses.  In a
Terminal session I ran a command of:

chown ownername *.* -R to make the owner the user
chgrp ownername *.* -R to make the group the user (if you setup users as
groups too, I used a group called Everyone which all users are a member of)

Then

chmod g+s *.* -R  to set the group and user on everything.  The -R is to
ensure that the permissions flow down the file structure, so all folders and
files get set.

In my Samba shares, here is how I set permissions:


[home2]- this where all users have their own directory, so me I am liza
        comment = Everyone's Home Directory
        path = /home2
        writeable = yes
        guest ok = yes

[accting]
- this is where the Accounting department have their Quickbooks files, you
can see where I commented out things that didn't work :)  I also use the
force group and force user.  Quickbooks is in multiuser mode, and it was the
most challenging to get to work properly.  Make sure you have a good backup
copy of the database files if they get corrupted.  We had several
corruptions before I could get it to work.

        comment = Accounting Volume
        path = /accting
        writeable = yes
        valid users = liza, rhea, stephen, tammy
        oplocks = no
        level2 oplocks = no
;       veto oplock files = /*.*db/*.ldb/*.mde/*.xls/*.qb*/*.QB*/*.LDB/*.L*/*.*/
;       blocking locks = no
;       locking = yes
;       strict locking = no
;       share modes = no
        force group = accounting
        force user = root
        inherit permissions = yes
        create mask = 0771
        directory mask = 0771
;       force create mode = 0777
;       force directory security mode = 0777
        vfs object = recycle:recycle
        recycle:repository = .deleted
        recycle:keeptree = Yes
        recycle:touch = Yes
        recycle:versions = Yes

[Data]
- this is where all other folders and documents live.  Anyone can access
here and anyone can do anything to a file.  Mostly Word and Excel,
Powerpoint files.
        comment = Data
        path = /home2/Data
        writeable = yes
        guest ok = yes
        veto oplock files = /*.mdb/*.ldb/*.mde/
        oplocks = no
        level2 oplocks = no
        blocking locks = no
        locking = no
        strict locking = no
        share modes = yes

Hopefully you can try some of this and see if it works.
