Ah that explains it, you are running a self compiled Samba.

I think the one that ends in 'NTFS' may be relevant, are the USB drives
formatted with the NTFS filesystem ?

NTFS isn't a Linux filesystem and isn't required to work with Samba, in
fact Samba would prefer something like ext4 (which Windows will never
see, it just sees the data stream). I would image that your Linux
machines are mounting the USB drives root:root and nothing can read or
write to them, you cannot change this (if they are using NTFS) because
there are no Linux tools that can set/change the NTFS permissions.

What does this mean (self compiled)? Can the Linux Mint side not work well
and the pen drivers not be recognised ?

Yes, I compiled samba ad-dc for rocky Linux.

I connect 3 pen drivers with different partitions, NTFS, Linux Mint
installer pen drive and other Linux partitions. When Linux MInt is out AD
it recognises and runs the 3 kind partition normally. No problem what kind
is: Ntfs run nice, and others. Simply run well and good.

What I can not understand:  Why are USB ports there no permission to be
recognised or read and run properly when Linux Mint is an AD member?

Thank You
