Morning everyone. Have a quick question on what would be the best way to set up sharing for my instance. Our samba server is going to be hosting applications that are used by our clients everyday. On our Samba server, I have setup the directories like this: (I should mention, one of our applications will have multiple folders to hold the corresponding data) /home/point /home/point/pntdata /home/point/pnttempl and so forth. There is around 10 total directories like this. My question is what would be the best way to set this up in my smb.conf file? As of now, this is how I have it: [Point] comment = Point Program path = /home/point read only = no writable = yes create mode = 660 directory mode = 770 admin users = @domadm valid users = @cm But, I need to specify the underlying directories. Is there a trick to doing that, or will I have to make each one a share in smb.conf? I was wondering if it's possible to use wildcards or something similar. Any ideas or suggestions on how to set that up? Thank you. Jason

[Samba] Setting up shares with multiple directories
