[Samba] Write access to one user and Read-Only for anyother

[Cary Robinson]

I'm no pro (by a long shot),
But.....
Have you looked into using the ACL commands for this ?

Permissions can be specified using acl command setfacl for
the right group/person.
use getfacl to check the applied permissions.

 From my limited experimentation with these ACL 
commands, I would think you can accomplish the permissions you are after.

Rgd's,
Cary
