samba - Apr 2003 - How to give one user write permissions to HOME shares

mmurrock can browse, but he can't write.  Is there an easy way to add write
access for the mmurrock user?

here is my homes share:

[homes]
   comment = Home Directories
   browseable = no
   writable = yes
   valid users = %S, mmurrock
   create mode = 0664
   directory mode = 0775

Thanks,
Dan Didier

What are the physical rights of your mmurrock user (i mean, unix one) ?
To get this working, i have a samba with acl enabled (on an XFS filesystem).
Are ACLs enabled on your system ?

John,

I will give that a try shortly. Thanks.

Yes. Using Unix file system permissions. Have you tried that?
ie: Is mmurrock a member of the samba group that the %S users belong to?
    Is the group permission set so all group members have access to the
    user's home directory?

So what is the best way to do this?

I agree with you, unix rights are the first thing to look for. I was
assuming
a second level, in which Dan would want to give mmurock specific rights
without creating the groups that goes underneath. Perhaps i was looking to
far. I got used to environment in which we could not even consider creating
a
group for each share.

Sorry for applying rules for a more specific implementation in this case.
