Re: [PLUG] Group permissions for tech-adverse personnel


Linux file systems permissions don't seem to matter as much when running
through Samba.  Permissions should be set through smb.conf.  Of course,
logging in at a console could allow a user to by-pass Samba's access
controls.  But, what is the goal?  Hard security to prevent unauthorized
access, or a fail-safe environment where users won't accidentally
destroy information?  The second case is easier to deal with.
