[NTLUG:Discuss] Samba, ACL - permissions

[Keller Giacomarro]

Greg,

Thanks for the quick response.

That would certainly work - I didn't think of that.

So, what if I wanted different permissions for different folders?  For
example...

user1
user2
user3

share1 - user1(rw), user2(rw), user3(r)
share2 - user1(none), user2(rwx), user3 (r)

Would I then need to create several groups to accommodate each situation?

Group1 - user1, user2 : given rw to share1
Group2 - user3 : given r to share1
Group3 - user2 : given rwx to share 2
Group4 - user 3 : given r to share2

While this would functionally work, it seems overkill.  Is this just how
things are done in the Linux world?  Makes Windows ACLs seem (gasp) easy.
Is there something simple I've overlooking?

Thanks again in advance.
