[Samba] Shared directory contained within another shared directory

[Daniel Müller]

IN [global]
This could be:
follow symlinks = yes
  wide links = yes

in the other groups share make:  ln –s /shared/depts/hr/hrshared
/where/the/link/isset
I think the link is then read only or what you set the permission

In my case, the idea was that one departement already had a folder that they
were used to and that they wanted to share with the rest.
So instead of moving all the files, it looked simplier to just take this
very folder (it was a little deeper) and share it somewhere else.

Hello,

why subdirectory!? Just make two simple shares for each group.
Bind them together with dfs
Ex-tree: +human-resources

       directory  mask = 6770
       force directory mode = 6770

In /shared/depts/dfsroot as root

Ln -s msdfs:yourserver\\hr hr
Ln -s msdfs;yourserver\\shared_hr shared_hr

Betreff: [Samba] Shared directory contained within another shared directory

Hello,

I have Samba server running version 3.0.33-3.29.el5_5.1. The Samba
server is a member server of a Windows 2003 domain. Winbind provides
authentication.

We have a physical directory named hr that is shared as "hr" and is
accessible to the HR department. A subdirectory of the hr directory
named hrshared is shared as "hrshared" and should be accessible to
specific users that are not part of the HR department. File system
permissions for the hr directory are set for the domain admin as owner
and the HR department security group (in AD) as the group.  The file
system permissions for the hrshared subdirectory are set for domain
admin as owner and the security group that has the people that need
access to the hrshared share. With permissions set as they are, users
who are not part of the HR group are unable to access the hrshared
folder. I'm assuming this is because the hrshared subdirectory is
inheriting permissions from the parent hr directory.
Here's the share specifications in smb.conf

[hr]
       comment = Human Resources
       valid users = "@DOMAIN+Personnel"
       path = /shared/depts/hr
       guest ok = no
       read only = no
       create mask = 6770
       force create mode = 6770
       directory  mask = 6770
       force directory mode = 6770

[shared_hr]
       comment = Human Resources Shared information with supervisors
       valid users = @DOMAIN+Personnel @"DOMAIN+Domain Admins"
@"DOMAIN+hr_readonly"
       path = /shared/depts/hr/hrshared
       guest ok = no
       writable = yes
       read list = @"DOMAIN+hr_readonly"
       create mask = 6770
       force create mode = 6770
       directory  mask = 6770
       force directory mode = 6770



Is there a way to properly share a subdirectory that has different
permissions than the parent directory?

Any help is appreciated. Thanks.

Rod
