Yes, you just have to precede the group name with an '@', i.e.

write list = @parents

--Dennis

Quoting Mike Gallamore <[EMAIL PROTECTED]>:

I believe you'd need to add a line:
write list = parents

write list = mum dad

I'm not sure if the top would work, anyone is samba group aware? The
bottom should work but the problem would be if the members of the group
were to change you'd have to change the smb.conf file too which isn't
the cleanest solution.

Hi people,

I'd like to understand valid users and file permissions better. I have a share which is not behaving as I expect.

[family]
path = /home/shares/family
create mask = 0664
directory mask = 0775
force group = parental
guest ok = No
valid users = @parental, @family
writeable = Yes

in Group parental are mum & dad; in group family are mum, dad and offspring.

With file permissions of 0664 and force group parental, I would expect the offspring to be able to browse the share but not write to or delete from it. Unfortunately, they can both write and delete.

How do I achieve this please?
