Give a group of users write access to one subdirectory
I have Samba working on an elementary school and the children has only read access to some mountpoints. They are all member of a group which has write access at Unix level but the have only read access at samba level (2.2.1a). Now there is a program that needs to write in a license file when a child start it. So how do I configure samba so that they have write access only to a specific subdirectory eg. P: is mapped to \usr1\onderbw and the samba rights are read. The directory they have to write is P:\program\cd2\keys -- Mvg., Roger -- Running Redhat 7

There are two ways you could do this, 1. Create a new share which is Writeable under both Linux and Samba for the single directory that requires access. Map this share to a different drive letter. This may be a pin if there are any other files that you wish to restrict. 2. Make the Samba share writeable, but make the files read-only at linux level for the users. Samba will honour the Linux directory and file permissions (ie it applies the strictest permissions from Samba or Linux). Then the directory/files that need to be written to can be made RW under Linux.
