Hi,
Does anyone know how on EARTH I can make a share that guests are read only for and only my login (rob) can write to?
No matter what I do I seem to end up with no access for anyone, read-only access for everyone or write for everyone! :(
Is it even possible?!
Thanks
Rob
The share permissions should be full control to everybody then do specific file permissions on it so its your Guest account / guest group read only, list contents and execute and specify your user account as full control over it.
so I have to chmod the directory so only rob can write?Quote:

but now no-one can access the directory over the shares, I just get 'network access denied' errors :/Code:sudo chgrp smbwrite testdir
sudo chmod u=rw,g=rw,o=r testdir
EDIT.EDIT:
just noticed I forgot the x's on those permissions!
think thats got it now :)
cheers
Wow I only just realised I answered a *nix question with a Windows answer as I find nix pointless
Narrow-minded Ballmer fan-boy :p
You find *nix pointless....a VAST majority of the internet is run by *nix...BSD and UNIX...
So in essence you find this site pointless? Without *nix/BSD/UNIX you wouldn't be able to get here.
Shame on you john ;)
Indeed. We do live on a Fedora distro.
No wonder were so sluggish at times and then spent time down :DQuote:

Lol. Your loss :P
You not tried using Webmin to manage it?Quote:

Also nice to be able to check between the 2 so you can see how the syntax works.
