From: William P.N. Smith on 12 May 2010 16:50 This should be simple, but I've been pounding my head against it for several hours, and I'm not getting the result I want. I'd like to be able to select shares, whether they are the root of a drive or /home/username and designate who can read and who can read/write. Does Samba have it's own groups to go with it's own users? I really can only use "security = user" in this case... I'd like to do something like give the root user read/write access to the root of the drive, give user roy read-only access to the root of the drive, and give user willie read/write access to /home/pictures, is there a way to do that with Samba or is that a Linux/groups/acl kind of thing? It seems if I have a share that someone can read, anyone can read it, is that right? There are some hints in the default smb.conf like: # A publicly accessible directory, but read only, except for people in # the "staff" group ; [public] ; comment = Public Stuff ; path = /home/samba ; public = yes ; writable = yes ; printable = no ; write list = +staff but +staff isn't documented anywhere (user or @group is, but not +staff), and adding creating a Linux group called staff and adding users to it doesn't help. Thanks in advance for any hints! -- To unsubscribe from this list go to the following URL and read the instructions: https://lists.samba.org/mailman/options/samba |
