[Samba] Stopping new directory creation ?

[Mike Stewart]

Thanks Matt.  It would seem that if I set the Linux group permissions on the
top-level directory to RX it has the desired effect.  I'll run it for a
while to make sure and if it fails I'll try your method - I'm fairly new to
Samba and don't understand "Domains"... as far as I can see I'm not using
one !?  Am I missing something ?

TVM

Mike

Mike,
These commands should give you the results you are looking for. The
first command sets a domain group on your toplevel folder (probably
Domain Admins) that will be allowed to create folders. The second
command disallows folder creation by everyone else. The folders under
<topleveldir> should be set to 777. You will need to remove force group
from your share definition.

chgrp "DOMAIN\Change Group"  <topleveldir>
chmod 775 <topleveldir>

Hi, I've been looking for a way to stop users creating new
sub-directories under a top level (shared) directory - which will need
to contain 3 readymade directories and/or to stop users placing files
outside the 3 readymade directories.

Is this at all possible ?

Got a really basic system - Slackware 8.0 and Samba 2.2.8a running
purely as a fileserver for Win2k clients.

Thanks

Mike
