All, I have a share defined as such: [sharename] path = /projects/tc valid users = @tc_users force group = tc_users writeable = Yes everything works fine with this. I have been asked to modify this definition such that there will be a subdirectory /projects/tc/draco where access to /projects/tc/draco is by users in the UNIX group tc_draco. Only users in this group can have write access. This is on a Solaris 8 system. My question is this: Short of having Solaris ACL's, is there a way to do this in samba without defining a share for this one directory? Thanks for you help. spike
