have a Windows application that is very limited on the folders it will
use. It is installed in a base folder like C:\Program
Files\Application\app.exe. It uses multiple folders under that, like

I already tried that. Unless there's a secret I don't know about, you
can't create an NTFS junction across a network or to a network drive.
It apparently only works with local disks.
Thanks for the comment.

For some of us simple minded types, like me, perhaps you could have a
permanent file in the share and test for it after mounting. Create the
file NonsenseShare/iamhere
#!/bin/bash
smbmount //NonsenseShare /bad/mnt/point
if test -f /bad/mnt/point/iamhere ; then

Take one machine to learn on. Wipe it out and do a bare metal install.

Eric,
Try changing your smb.conf file to:

valid users = @accounts
force group = accounts
(along with the other usual stuff)

(along with the other usual stuff)
This will limit
I just went through all this with my set up.
First, insure the users have the desired group as their PRIMARY group in
both NT groups and Unix groups. You can verify this by checking the
/etc/passwd list and running 'pdbedit -Lv'. Change your [NETLOGON]
entry to read 'path = /data/%g'. In

Depending on the tool, I can set his NTgroup or his Unix group, but I
