[Samba] Permissions issue -- cannot delete a folder/file

[Robert Pollard]

How many aliases are allowed.  I remember seeing an alias field in swat.

I have 4 logins that I was going to set up for the user that will be 
maintaining all 4 directories.  For reasons to lengthy to explain, I need 4 
different mount points with separate logins.
Is this possible?

Thanks,

Robert
