[Samba] SAMBA - how to restrict read and write

[fasil km]

Hi Paul,
Thanks for the prompt reply :)

I have done the changes that you mentioned in your post. That doesn't help
either.

Let me put some more clarity to my scenario.

I have a centralized login using IPA. That means there won't be any local
system users.
Only we will have the home folders created for the respective users while
they login.

Now for example a user, testuser, wants to share a folder in his home folder
(/home/testuser/share) to another 4 users.
Out of the four users, one need to have write access. How could we setup
samba authentication using ldap?
If we could setup samba authentication using ldap, then we do not require
the creation of any samba users in the local system right?

Could you help me out to setup this share? Thanks in advance :)

Best Regards,
Fasil.
