Hi all My client want a shared folder so that only two people can access and write to it. I added the following to my smb.conf [private] writeble = yes guest ok = no path = /home/samba/private valid users = wendy, pierre write list = wendy, pierre force user = nobody All i need yo do now is make the folder "private" to nobody. How would i go on by doing that and would this work. Regards Gerald

Hi guys My client is really bugging me to get this working. I create a folder called "private" and added this into my smb.conf file, but when i browse to the folder "private" using wendy or pierre i get access denied. soneone told me i must make sure the filesystem of the folder private is set to nobody. Is that correct and how will i go on by doing this. [private] writeable = yes public = no guest ok = no path = /home/samba/private valid users = pierre, wendy write list = pierre, wendy force user = nobody Regards Gerald
What version of samba are you running and on what OS? What type of setup do you have on you samba server? Standalone? Domain member? PDC? Try changing valid users = pierre, wendy write list = pierre, wendy To valid users = +pierre, +wendy write list = +pierre, +wendy And see if it works. The "+" lets samba know that it is a local unix user. -----Original Message----- From: samba-bounces+ggutierrez=marketscan.com@lists.samba.org [mailto:samba-bounces+ggutierrez=marketscan.com@lists.samba.org] On Behalf Of Gerald Sent: Tuesday, September 19, 2006 9:06 AM To: samba@lists.samba.org Subject: [Samba] smb.conf Hi guys My client is really bugging me to get this working.
