I read everything I could get my hands on.
Windows domain user authenticates into linux.
RHEL4.6 looks at the AD for authentication and allows them to see the
samba shared folders.
Using winbind and samba.
Now that it is functioning and I can set a samba shared folder , HOW do
I make that folder so that only the members in a certain group can see
the folder.
Seems everyone can see it, but only the group members have access to it
the way I have it setup now.
[ADMINS]
comment = Testing Auth
public = no
writeable = yes
path = /SHAREDDRIVE/ADMINFOLDER
force group = DOMAIN/admin
I don't want anyone to see the samba share folder but the group members.
Am I just in the wrong location on where I should set the view on the
folder.
Also if I change the smb.conf file and restart the smb I have to restart
the windows box before it can see new shared files/folders is there
anyway around that issue. I would like the shares to be more dynamic and
on the fly changeable.

set the group perms in linux so only that group has files to it. samba obeys unix file permissions. try chmod 660 on the directory?
