Hi, Many Thanks to all for SAMBA! Am trying to create a share that is writeable by just one group, but readable by all. The smb.conf entry is: [DocControl] comment = Document Control path = /apps/doccont public = yes read only = yes write list = @doccontrol create mode = 0775 force group = doccontrol force user = lrodrigu preserve case = yes case sensitive = no short preserve case = yes the UNIX group doccontrol contains the unix usernames of folks I wish to permit to write. It works for one user who has the same UNIX username as PC NAME. All the other folks are denied. However, they work fine with the [homes] section, which makes use of the users.map file. Am running samba-1.9.16p2 on solaris 2.5.1 -Jeff -------------- next part -------------- A non-text attachment was scrubbed...

Also you may need "force create mode=664" rather than simply "create mode" (which is better named "create mask"), and "force directory mode=775" for directories. Finally, if a user in doccontrol moves files or directories into this share using a WFW or WIN9x box, the Unix group ownership will not change - you will have to manually chgrp them using Unix commands. Hope this helps! Regards, David Bullock Loftus Computing Services Adelaide, South Australia
