I have fought with these before. I finally got them down the way that I wanted them, but I was wanting to set this up a bit different. I want to make sure that there is no way to do this without actually having to assign a bunch of different drive letters to shares. I basically one one Drive letter assigned to the top of the directory. Underneath that directory there will be several others and then others underneath each one of those. I assume each directory inherits the top share though, is that correct? For example, if I have the following. MAIN (unix permissions rwxr-xr-x) --DIR1_LEVEL1 (unix permissions rwxr-xr-x) ----DIR1_LEVEL2 (unix permissions rwxrwxrwx) --DIR2-LEVEL1 (unix permissions rwxr-xr-x) [main] path = /MAIN I then map T: to the MAIN share. Here is how I would like this to work. Anyone in the TEACHER group can access either the DIR1_LEVEL1 or the DIR2_LEVEL2 and anything underneath. Only students in GROUP1 can access DIR1_LEVEL1 and anything underneath. Only students in GROUP2 can access DIR2_LEVEL1 and anything underneath. MAIN and LEVEL1 directories cannot be written to, but LEVEL2 directories can. If I browse down to the LEVEL2 directory then I still do not have permissions to write to it. If I create a share to the LEVEL2 directory then I could, but I don't want that because then I start getting a lot of network drive letters. I may have to create a lot of drive letters, but I just wanted to ask and make sure that I am not missing some sort of settings first.

I did not realize this newer version of Fedora actually has ACLs so I will see if I can give access with Samba and then narrow it down with those.
