Hello all, I was hoping someone would point me in the right direction. We are using Samba and IBM Rational ClearCase very effectively when it comes to access for the approriate groups. The issue comes in when we want to let others have read access. We have a read-only view created, but the issue is with Samba. It seems to me that if the view is read-only, when accessed then all users would have this as read-only as well, this isn't the case and the users are not able to access the share in read-only at all. We could add some users to read-only via smb.conf file but this needs to be available for everyone to have read access, not just a specific list of users. I was told that we might need another Samba instance - and I was wondering what advice others might have. Thanks for any and all help and sorry for the wide distribution. JD
