I was trying to set up a samba server (3.0.24-6etch10) on Debian etch with Windows NT Authorization. I wanted to give only a specific windows-group read and write authorization: /etc/samba/smb.conf: [test] (...) valid user = @users As this did not work, I compared the configfile with another working samba-server of mine, and changed it to valid userS= @users After that, everything worked, but as far as I understood the manpages it should be "user" (no plural). Is this a bug, or did I miss something?

Hi,> IMHO in all manpages only "valid users" is mentioned..you are right, of course. I tried to explain my problem as detailed as possible, but in the end I transposed the two cases: It does NOT work with: invalid userS = @users curiously it DOES work with: invalid user = @users Mona

And the reason for my question is samba honors the *nix filesystem permissions, so if you have them set properly it will do the correct thing. John
