That shouldn't be a problem. I have:
[hw_tools]
path = /hw/tools
guest ok = no
read only = no
force group = engineering
[hw_proj]
path = /hw/projects
guest ok = no
read only = no
create mask = 0774
directory mask = 0775
force group = engineering
Of course my automount map for the /hw filesystem is:
* hardware:/hw/&
Which tells automount to map all directories under /hw on the
"hardware"
server to /hw/<dir name>. This allows me to automount each subdirectory
to /hw rather than all of them. This may not be a good thing from
a Samba point of view, since that requires me to create entries for each
directory under /hw.
On the upside though, it gives me very carefull control over what those on
PCs can actuall see :)
If your automount maps instead contained this:
/hw hardware:/hw
then you should be able to see everything.
