I am trying to create a master share that contains all the other
shares. I created a group that needs read+write permission to all the
other shares. However, rather than adding this group in each share
configuration, I was wondering if there is a way to overwrite the
permission.
I tried this but gave read-only access. Also in the linux level, I
don't have this master group as the owner. Any idea?
[master share]
comment = All of WWW read/write access
path = /www
valid users = "@DOMAIN\My master group"
write list = "@DOMAIN\My master group"
force group = "My Master group"
read only = No
create mask = 0775
directory mask = 0775

If I change the linux permission in the /www/ level, that would create problems for the rest of the groups. --s
