read-only permissions

Post by We » Thu, 17 Feb 2000 04:00:00



I am running redhat 5.2 and have samba running well but I have a
sharing question.  I have a directory called quality set up in my home
directory that is owned by root with the group of tc_quality.  I have
set up a group that just has a few users in it and have put in the
smb.conf file a sections that will allow that share with write
permissions.  So far everything is working as it is supposed too, only
those in that group have access.  But they want other users to be able
to read those documents but not change them.  I set up a new group
called tc_readqual that points to the same path but the smb.conf
only has read-only access.  That part also works fine as long as the
user is also in the writable tc_quality group.  In other words in the
network neighborhood they can double click the tc_readqual folder and
then pull up a document and it will say that it is read-only, but they
can also double-click the tc_quality folder and have full access.
I guess my question is what is the best way to have a directory that
some users can have full access to while others can only read the
documents.  Thanks

Thanks for the reply!  I have made the change in the /etc/smb.conf but
the read list group cannot pull the folder up.  Could it be because
the quality folder is owned by root with the group of tc_quality?  I
tried to change the group to root but nobody could get in then.  Any
ideas?

1. read/write permission for users on MSDOS partition?

I have one MSDOS partition mounted on

drwxr-xr-x      /dosc   # MSODS file system

I would like to let users have read/write permission on it.

So, I login as root and type 'chmod 777 /dosc', and the result
is the same as before, ie,

drwxr-xr-x      /dosc   # MSODS file system

Why I (root) couldn't change the MSDOS partition to be read/write
by every user?

Thanks for your reply.
