creating a master share

[sharif islam]

I am trying to create  a master share that contains all the other
shares. I created a group that needs read+write permission to all the
other shares. However, rather than adding this group in each share
configuration, I was wondering if there is a way to overwrite the
permission.

I tried this but gave read-only access. Also in the linux level, I
don't have this master group as the owner. Any idea?

[master share]
        comment = All of WWW read/write access
        path = /www
        valid users = "@DOMAIN\My master group"
        write list =  "@DOMAIN\My master group"
        force group = "My Master group"
        read only = No
        create mask = 0775
        directory mask = 0775

If the users don't have write access at the unix level, they won't get
write access through samba.
You can use ACLs to grant them write access.

Or you can use the above "force group" option to access the files as a
group that does have access.

Well, the problem is, each folder (such as /www/share1, /www/share2)
already has a group associated with it. If I change the linux
permission in the /www/ level, that would create problems for the rest
of the groups.

I guess that brings you back to "You can use ACLs".
