[PLUG] RE: Samba 3 question

 

Chris,

 

Your e-mail was helpful to me, thank you. With it, and another resource I was able to figure out our problem. I’ll put out there, for posterity, that there is another factor that these play off of.

 

In Windows, you define whether or not a share is writeable or not and it doesn’t just become the default, it becomes the only option. With Samba, if a share is ‘writable = no’, that is only the default behavior. You can modify it with ‘write list = ‘. So, in my example… (or readonly = yes ? correct me if I’m wrong there.)

 

‘Maybe giving me an example would be easier. Say I have 2 groups; ShareRW and ShareR. I want the people in ShareRW to be able to browse, read, and write, and the people in ShareR to browse and read only. What is/are the possible configuration(s) for that scenario?’

 

 

Valid users = @ShareRW @ShareR

Write list = @ShareRW

 

It looks like the ‘write list’ is only valid if the writeable = no, and I bet the read list is only valid if writeable = yes… its possible, too, that readonly=yes has different behavior than writeable=no.

 

Maybe someone can shed some light on that?

 

Again, thanks!

Andy
