trying to figure out the best way to accomplish this, running samba 3.x on a
debian system in share level mode (workgroup)
have a shared folder for all the staff that they have permssions to by
membership of being in the "staff" group, this share has about 40-50
subfolders.
now they have an intern starting and want to restict that intern to 5 of
those folders which they'll access from an XP machine
I could create a new share for each folder, but if they decide to expand the
list of allowed folders, that gets clunky.
So I created a new share for the intern and symlinked the 5 subfolders which
they can see just fine, but they get a permission denied which makes sense
since the intern account is not part of larger group with access to the 5
folders in question.
What's the best way to allow them access to the 5 folders without allowing
them to get access to the other 45 or so folders?
