[ale] Samba...success!!!! and........permissions help!

[Keith Morris]

Hi all...the eternal lurking newbie checking in again...

At work we have been having trouble with one particular W2K server in
our Active Directory (blech) going bonkers on a single share (a very
important share) so I have been touting setting up a Samba 3.0 server...

Well, for proof of concept, I set up a Samba 3.0 server on an old
Pentium Pro 200 with 64MB of ram on RH 9 and it COMPLETELY SMOKED the
1GHz 512MB W2K server in performance....

...as an aside....for a newbie, it ain't a whole lot of fun getting
kerberos5 authentication to a Native Windows Active Directory to work,
but it DOES work...

Anyway, to my problem...

Permissions... NTFS and unix permissions are completely differnet
(duh).  Let's say I have an entire group of designers in group
"InteractiveGroup" and I have sales people in "SalesGroup".  How do I
set permissions on a samba share (as well as file create masks) so that
the InteractiveGroup has Read+Write permissions on the share and the
SalesGroup only has read permissions?

This is the last step toward infiltrating our first Linux server into an
exclusively windows house...

Any help would be greatly appreciated.
