[Samba] windows file compatibility aka A Cry For Help

[Chris McKeever]

ok that worked swell...
but now I have a new issue that arose from all the permission changes.

I have a shared folder that is a sub-folder of another share.  Do I need to
just open the permissions to world readable in order for the sub-folder to
be usable when connected directly

[admin]
        comment = branch administrative share
        path = /samba/admin
        browseable = yes
        public = no
        read only = yes
        valid users = @a-team @m-team @domain-admins
        write list = @a-team @m-team @domain-admins
        oplocks = no
        level2 oplocks = no
        force directory mode = 0770
        create mask = 0771
        force group = a-team

[agent]
        comment = branch file share
        path = /samba/admin/agent-share
        browseable = yes
        public = yes
        read only = no
        oplocks = no
        level2 oplocks = no
        force directory mode = 0770
        create mask = 0771
        force group = domain-users

so basically, if someone creates a file in \\server\agent\agent-share it
will be only accessbile by a-team so if someone connects to \\server\agent
that inst in a-team, they can't do anything with it...

so I guess I need to either break the two apart or just open up world
permissions, or force group to domain-users

or am I missing something here?
