You may misunderstand my question.The existing Samba works fine.
Changing permissions of the files on a shared map drive is not what
I want. Those files on /pathto/share are shared by everybody.
What I want is to create a new section in smb.conf which points
to the same folder /pathto/share, so anybody maps this new network
drive, he/she will only see the files belong to them.
