[Samba] Access control question.

2007-11-21 Thread Matt Lozier
Hello, I have a general administrative question concerning Samba shares. I have a large amount of data that about 25 users have limited access to. I only want these users to have access to a sub-set of this data, but I also only want the users to see that which they have access to.

they are ;-) If I understand LDAP properly (I'm new to this technology) then I should be able to store user permissions in the LDAP database, no? Thanks, Matt -Original Message- From: Andrew Sherlock-CF [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: Wednesday, November 21, 2007 11:07 AM To: Matt Lozier

have thus far is to write a script that would output this data to a log file, and have the script run every 5 min. or so. I suppose that I could use diff to compare the changes, and only update the log file with the changes? Any and all input is greatly appreciated! Thank you, --- Matt
