Samba Server issue & permissions


Hello
I had Samba Server installed over 15 XP clients.
I want to make permissions so that every user (each client) can delete his/her own directory, any help?>
Thanks

yes just give the write permission in sambha configuration file.

IF USER has write permissions on the folder, so that user can delete files from the folder. Think of it like this: a file's presence in the folder is an attribute of the folder. If you have write permissions to the folder, you can remove its contents.

I'd work with underlying permissions. If directories can be deleted by a user but not a group, then the samba user will have the same permissions
