you were right croog,they cant access the other's files
ubuntu server with samba and a couple win 7 machines
i want two user to have access to their respective home dir's
done
i also want those two to have access to a shared dir
kind of done. when user1 puts a file in the shared dir
user1 is owner and group so user2 can't access it modify it
i've created a samba group, gave it ownership of this dir and added these users to the group but didn't help
#ls -l
-rw-rw---- 1 user2 user2 122368 Sep 18 19:12 doc33.doc
-rw-rw---- 1 user1 user1 238264 Aug 21 09:25 doc1.pdf
my conf
[share]
comment = Ubuntu File Server Share
path = /share
valid users = @samba
read only = No
create mask = 0660
directory mask = 0770
i guess what i need is to somehow give the group "samba" ownership of any files moved into this shared dir
so it'll look like this...
#ls -l
-rw-rw---- 1 user2 samba 122368 Sep 18 19:12 doc33.doc
-rw-rw---- 1 user1 samba 238264 Aug 21 09:25 doc1.pdf
or there must be another way (i'd rather not change to 'security = share')
update: i set it up like this...
[sales]
path = /home/sales
comment = Sedona Real Estate Sales Data
writable = yes
valid users = sofie shelby adilia
admin users = mike
per this ...
http://www.samba.org/samba/docs/using_samba/ch09.html
doesn't work
