samba - Jul 2002 - User directory shares with Samba, Winbind, and Win2k domain - help deparately needed!

I have a new samba install with winbindd running correctly.

I have moved folders from the old Win2k file server to this new file server.  
I need to re-create the same permissions that the Win2k file server had for the
users.  The users were in groups, based upon departments.  Each department head
had RW priv to the department share and RO on each user's sub directory. 
Each user, of course, had RW on their own dirs.  The Department dir/share was RO
to the world.

I would like to recreate this, but am not certain how to, considering the
combination of Win2k Domain groups and users with unix/linux users and groups.

Please help and advise.

Thanks

main problem are the standard Posix permissions. If you are migrating from

your permissions.

But help is near, you can patch your kernel with filesystem ACLs and I
hope it will not be long until they are included in the vanilla
kerneltree. There must be a wealth of threads on that subject in this
list.

The Samba-shares themselves are offering much more ways to build
permissions, here you should have no problem to implement your old
structure.

Hm, while running winbind, you should have your windows users and groups
on your Linux box. You can work with them as you would with local users.
