You are correct.  Samba does not currently support the bropwsing of user
accounts in the domain.  Therefore all shares you create will have the
permission set to "Everyone (all)".  The only security you will have is
the security of the file system (ie. don't use FAT ).  Same problem as
using Windows 95 user-level security.

It's low priority at the moment.


Hope this helps,
