So I have a fairly good understanding of samba but lack one thing, tiered security rights. Here is my dilemma, I would like to start out with one Folder called Images which is put in smb.conf with the appropiate rights so its browseable and readable by the average user, but is read/write for certain power users. Inside the Images Folder there is a Company A Folder which is readable but not writeable by an average user, yet is read/write for the power users, inside that folder is an Inbox Folder that is read/writeable for both the average user and the power user. It seems all the smb.conf files that I have seen explain the first tier of rights, but don't seem to go any farther than that . Any help on this would be most appreciative

Thanks

Images

--------> Company A
---------> Inbox

i imagin you can set the reead and write writes on your file system for any thing other then the actual share itself. the way i usually do things is in samba give everybody read and write privliges and then set who can and cant write using file permisions on the file itself on the hardisk and not through samba it works for me under linux and i imagin it will be the same or similer under bsd
