Rob - I assume this is where I need to list all users and set the permissions as specified. Also, I do not find an entry for "directory mask". # The following two entries demonstrate how to share a directory so that two # users can place files there that will be owned by the specific users. In this # setup, the directory should be writable by both users and should have the # sticky bit set on it to prevent abuse. Obviously this could be extended to # as many users as required. ;[myshare] ; comment = Mary's and Fred's stuff ; path = /usr/somewhere/shared ; valid users = mary fred ; public = no ; writable = yes ; printable = no ; create mask = 0765 Todd On 7/12/2010 8:01 AM, Rob Kampen wrote: > Todd Cary wrote: >> A problem that has plagued me for a long time (finally decided to get >> some expert help) is setting the owner/group on directories/files I >> create with samba.
