[Samba] using acls to provide finer access controls within a share
I am looking for pointers or advice on the use of acls in samba. I have read the (2.2.8) man page for smbacls and the obvious bits in the smb.conf.5 file. I want to control various rw/ro accesses within a share, rather than having multiple shares with different capabilities. (the context is a solaris box, running apache with the (effective) htdocs area shared in total. Content managers use dreamweaver to massage content. Dreamweaver uses a site wide library and template directory which needs to be accessible in the same place relative to htdocs etc. So, to stop people clobbering this and areas they have no rights to and do not want multiple shares with various abilities. And just in case you are wondering, there is a forced user/group/masks etc, otherwise dreamweaver gets cranky :-) ) pointers to examples/advice on acls would be appreciated.
