I created a share on windows with a windows user marc having access to the share.
On the Linux machine I created two samba users marc and jim with associated Linux accounts marc and jim. On Linux I connect to the share on windows with the windows user marc mount -t cifs //140.160.42.58/shareonwindows /cddrive -o username=marc I made cddrive a samba share on the Linux box by entering it into the smb.conf file On a second windows computer I map a network drive to the cddrive samba share on Linux using the samba user marc. User marc can create and delete files. Here is the puzzle: On the second windows computer I can map a network drive to the cddrive samba share on Linux using the samba user jim and create and delete files. There is not a jim account on the windows computer where the windows share is located. If I adjust the share settings on the windows share for the windows user marc, both samba users marc and jim are affected equally. Example: on the windows share I only allow marc to read, then neither samba marc nor jim on the second windows computer can create a file.
