Good morning all,

We are moving our web server from novell to unix (solaris) and will be using samba to allow users to edit web pages.  Our samba instance authenticates using ADS and the users do not necessarily have accounts on the server itself.  We are attempting to allow users to map a single samba share but only see the directories they have read access to (see configuration below).  Any suggestions?


We have

/www (main share)
/www/dir1
/www/dir2
/www/dir3

everyone should map to /www

group should see something like
dir1
dir2
dir3

group2
dir1
dir2


[www]
       path = /www
       read only = yes
       browseable = no
       guest ok = no
       write list= @Domain\All_Editors
       public = no
       force user=web
       hide unreadable=yes
[dir1]
       path = /www/dir1
       read only = no
       browseable = no
       guest ok = no
       write list= @Domain\DIR1_Editors
       public = no
       force user=web
       hide unreadable=yes
