[Samba] Problems with Access Control for Shares on Samba 2

[remote]

Hi Christoph,

thanks for the help.... unfortunately your suggestion doesn´t change the 
server´s behavior. hobbit5 still has both read and write permission (as 
intended), but other users still can´t enter the directory. Any other ideas 
?

Thanks,

Jörg
