[ILUG] SAMBA query - Setting up a shared directory under SAMBA

[Anthony Staines]

Vincent Cunniffe proposed -
> Add :
> 
> [dept]
>    force user = deptshared
>    public = no
>    writable = yes
>    printable = no
> 
> Create the user 'deptshared', and
> 
>     chown -R deptshared.deptshared /home/shared
> 
> then restart samba, and any of the named users who connect to that share 
> will have all of their read and write requests mapped out of their own 
> user ID's into the common 'deptshared' one. All current and future file 
> ownership will be in the common deptshared ID.

Works like a charm!
Thank you very much.
