samba - Mar 2008 - How to give user access to only 1 directory on a share?

Hello,

 

Is there a way to give a single user access to a single directory on a given
share, and yet prevent that user from accessing the rest of the data on that
share?  All users on the system are within the *same* group, and if
possible, I'd like to keep it this way.  Would I have to go with ACLs to
implement this?

 

Any and all suggestions are appreciated! 

 

Thanks,

Matt

Yes, use ACL's and all the files and directories that the user should 
NOT access set the ACL to somethign like

setfact -m u:USER_NAME:- DIRECTORY_NAME

that will say that even if the directory is 777, that particular user 
has no access whatsoever.  The directory that he/she is allowed to 
access should stay the same.
