[Samba] Shares requiring "Everyone" access... [SOLVED]

[Ryan Ashley]

Louis is absolutely correct. Apparently Xerox only provides a bloatware 
driver (it isn't bad like HP bloat, but still) and not a normal one for 
their equipment now. They also have the audacity to say that Samba is 
not a "standard" setup but Mac OSX is! Due to this, they urge people to 
buy Windows Server! That is outrageous! I am personally going to go 
install the driver and printer by hand, one at a time, on every system 
at the client location today. I am also going to note this change and 
urge my clients to not buy Xerox in the future due to their change in 
support for Linux/Samba. Heck, even if they say Linux isn't "standard", 
how about UNIX? Oh well, Samba is working correctly and Windows is 
giving me the wrong error. Thank you to everybody who helped.

Now my last question involves those permissions. I am still not clear on 
one thing. If I leave "Everyone" in the permissions list so the share 
works, will a user in no groups at all be able to browse the share? 
Also, can I safely remove the "CREATOR OWNER" and "CREATOR GROUP" 
settings? If not, how do I ensure the owner and group of files for 
directories and files are inherited and not set by the creator?
