creating a master share
I am trying to create a master share that contains all the other shares. I created a group that needs read+write permission to all the other shares. However, rather than adding this group in each share configuration, I was wondering if there is a way to overwrite the permission. I tried this but gave read-only access. Also in the linux level, I don't have this master group as the owner. Any

Here is what I have: A Linksys router is hardwired to 3 computers and a DSL modem. One computer is running Debian Etch v2 with Samba installed. The other two computers are running Windows 98SE.

Somewhat bizzare share issue
I have 19 servers with this smb.conf share definition working: [export] comment = Exported Files path = /tmp/export guest ok = Yes On the 20th server however, this just doesn't want to work. I've gone through the basics of guest access and permissions more than a few times trying to figure this one out. Approaching this from another angle, I tried the following

monitoring file access levels?
I've got a paranoid client who has a samba server on a small LAN who wants to know if and when any of his employees 'transfer' (read, copy off etc) any more than a certain threshold of data a day from the server, I think he's worried that some employee may grab a lot of stuff off the server and then share it with his competition. I tried to explain that this wasn't a very

printer drivers - Add Printer Wizard disabled
I'm following along in the guide, trying to make printer drivers available from Samba. But when I right-click on a printer in Windows XP and select the "properties" tab, it's disabled: http://tinypic.com/usermedia.php?uo=BMeeHijW2w%2FyTvDsjpQbEQ%3D%3D So how do I enable this so the client can upload the drivers?

How does the "guest account" param work?
smb.conf states "This user must exist in the passwd file, but does not require a valid login" What exactly does this mean? As I understand it, adding a user with 'smbpasswd -a nobody' automatically gives it a valid login. My reasons for asking are; I added myself to passdb.tdb with my passwd. I added the 'nobody' user to passdb.tdb with no passwd. I then logged in to

Specifying proxy server per user
Was wondering if it's possible to assign specific users a proxy server for web browsing. My current setup is openldap, samba pdc and a squid proxy server. Our call center uses the web alot and I'd like to have them use the proxy. The agents don't usually login to the same windows machine. Is this possible via samba or netlogon? I'd hate to have to edit the group policies on 50

XP local policy vs Samba pdbedit?
If I set up a room of Win XP Pro w/SP2 systems, hardened via local policy and gpedit.msc, and add them to a samba domain running from an unpatched, out-of-box install of RHEL 5.0, how will the local XP policies differ from any changes I make to pdbedit on the Samba side? Which takes priority/preference? Thanks. Scott
