[Posted January 23, 2007 by cook]

nixCraft presents a tutorial on setting Samba share permissions. "Samba comes with different types of permissions for share. Try to remember few things about UNIX and Samba permissions. (a) Linux system permissions take precedence over Samba permissions. For example if a directory does not have Linux write permission, setting samba writeable = Yes (see below) will not allow to write to shared directory / share. (b) The filesystem permission cannot be take priority over Samba permission."
