I've set up a samba 2.0.5a / RedHat 6.1 file server. It's all going fine, but for a minor issue that is irritating rather than critical. I have directories for each dept, and then sub-dirs for users, with a dept share dir in each dept dir. I can set the valid users to individual users for the shared directories but some of the depts have 25 - 30 people and so I'd like to use groups but I don't seem able to set the valid users setting in smb.conf to groups. Using @ or + in front of the group name won't allow anyone in and it keeps asking for the corect password. Can anyone help? ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Unless otherwise agreed expressly in writing by Fesa UK Limited, this communication should be treated as confidential and the information contained therein may not be used or disclosed except for the purpose for which it was sent.
