samba - Sep 2003 - Part 2: What is the meaning of create mask / directory mask

What we are trying to do is something like where;


User A

User B

User C

User D

whereby User D's files can be read-write by only C,B ,A
whereby User C's files can be read-write by only B,A
whereby User B's files can be read-write by only A.

that is we want some hierachy . How do we do this ?

How do we set the permissions on the actual folders on the Hard Drives and how
do we set the permissions in smb.conf ? Is there a
difference ? Will permissions on smb.conf override the actual folder
permissions?
Thanx.

Suggest you refer to the Samba-HOWTO-Collection.pdf for SAmba-3.0.0.
A curent copy is available from:
	http://samba.org/~jht/HOWTO/Samba-HOWTO-Collection.pdf

Suggest you read chapter 13, "File, Directory and Share Access
Controls".

You should also read, Chapter 12, "Group Mapping: MS Windows and UNIX"
