Several users keep asking for a similar setup, and I'm wondering if there's a way to achieve it with a single samba share. They'll ask for a single share drive the has multiple subdirectories with each subdirectory having different permissions based on groups. So say you have a share called COLOURS and inside that share are three subdirectories, RED, GREEN and BLUE. Group1 should have RW access to everything, and Group2 should have RW to RED, Read-only to GREEN and no access to BLUE. I typically will just create three shares for them (RED, GREEN and BLUE) and provide access accordingly - as I don't think there's another way. If there's a way to achieve this, please let me know. Thanks, Matt. -- Matt Ingram Intermediate Unix Administrator, IS Canadian Bank Note Company, Limited \m/
how would I configure the samba share?
[colours]
comment = colours
path = /over/there
valid users = @group1 @group2
and then the file system takes care of the r/w perms and forcing the
proper group ?
Thanks,
Matt.

[Samba] subdirectories with different permissions
You can accomplish this using ACL on the filesystem and setting up the properly permissions on these directories.
