Samba file permissions


I'm running Samba 3.0 on Fedora Core 1 on a simple p2p network. I want 5 different users to login under samba and have acess to three different directories and their home directories.

restricted (2 out of the 5 users)

mid level (3 out of the 5 users)

shared (all of the users)

I've setup the user accounts and set group permissions correctly. However, when one of the users places a file in the shared directory, the file has very restrictive permissions set. I need a way that other users can read and write such a file.

Thanks

smb.conf

There are some sample smb.conf files that should have come with the samba package. One of them has an entry detailing how you can get two users to be able to share a single directory with read/write access. You can also set up the share to allow read/write access from a certain group of users. The two options that come to mind are 'write list' 'writable' and 'valid users' Good luck!
