samba - Sep 2004 - How to forbid directory creation

Bonjour ,

We have installed linux suse professional  and we would like to share an
linux files tree like
root
 I____dir1
 I____dir2
           I__dir3
With a population of PC Microsolt WINDOW XP .We though to use samba for
this purpose but we would like to keep this files organization and  to
forbid directory creation . Population  of PC Microsolt WINDOW XP could
create files under dir1 dir2 dir3  but could not create directories .
Do you think  SAMBA can do it ?

Thanks a lot for your answer

Sure. No problem. Just write your own VFS module to control this.
