[Samba] File permission problem

[fluibgwef at netscape.net]

Hi Mogens, 
I'll try more during the week-end but I am sorry all this is not very clear to me (not your fault). 
And I cannot reply directly to the news group, I have to go to the crappy netscape mail thing to send this... 

Anyway, see below. 

Thanks again, 
Dominique

Well it is chaotic because I like to answer inline but OK ;-)

currently: 1 active user: myself (uid 500) , the login which I use for samba and for the linux box itself to work on it. One inactive user (my wife ;-) uid 501) In the future I want more users (my kids are getting bigger :-). I have a "users" group (gid 100? I suppose). 
But I want to share the /data1 etc. only with 1 user (me), this is more important and immediately urgent than the homes directory.

Thank you, but what about the /data1,2,3 ? by whom should they be owned and in which group should they be for all this to work? This I don't understand.

swat did not change much - or I use it wrongly.
