Hi everyone!
First off, thank you all. By trolling thru all of your messages I've
managed to get Samba up and running (albeit in "share" mode). I have
a few "folders" (shares) mapped to everyone's computer along with
a "personal" folder (home dir) that is only accessible by them. The
other folders are "wide" open for everyone. I need to find a
"blend" of these 2 types of shares.
I want to have a PROJECTS folder that everyone can see (the P: drive) but they
should only be able to enter the folders that pertain to there jobs. I have
tried 2 different options so far :
1- Make a new user for each project in Linux. Then I would chown that
particular folder for the newly created user. I then made a users.map file and
associated "real" users with this "psuedo" user. I also
tried to use the ALIASES file in roughly the same way. (couldn't get either
to work)
2- Make a new group in Linux, and add the correct users to this group. Then I
chgrp-"ed" the folder... again. NO SUCCESS....
I feel like I'm close, but no cigars yet.
Any hints to how to have control of subfolders on a public share would be most
appreciated...
