Hi James,
I solved this type of problem by creating a user to own the
Quick Books files, made the users who needed access to those
files members of that group, and made a specific share for those files
owned and writable by my Quick Books user/group. Ask Samba to 'force
group' and it works great.
/etc/passwd:
quicken:x:512:512:Quicken Access:/home/quicken:/bin/false
/etc/group:
quicken:x:512:user1,user2,user3
/etc/samba/smb.conf:
[Quickbooks]
comment = Quickbooks
path = /work/Quickbooks
public = Yes
writable = Yes
printable = No
write list = @quicken
force group = +quicken
Permissions of /work/Quickbooks:
drwxrwx--x 10 quicken quicken 4096 Jun 11 16:57 Quickbooks
n.
