Dale,
Because Windows users need to be able to access files from Linux that reside in Windows shares. I'm pretty confident that this is a problem that's came up many times on this list, I just can't find the answer.

O'Callaghan Subject: Re: [Samba] Mounting home directory from Windows in Linux Shaun, I have never tried what you are describing, but mounting with domain administrator privileges would give full access to everything in the mount. I am deducing from that fact that anyone with share privileges would therefore be able to do anything with everything in that mount. However, deduction is hardly infallible, and quite often wrong. I wish I had a better answer. To satisfy my own curiosity, why do you wish to share a Windows directory through Samba instead of natively through Windows? Dale Shaun J.

We've recently integrated a Linux server running Samba into our domain which users are going to be using and we want to provide access to their Windows based files. As I mentioned, I've mounted the share in linux and I'm authenticating through Winbind but every user has access to every other users files. Could this be something to do with the fact I've mounted the share with Domain Administrator privileges or not?
