[SOLVED - SAMBA]: Restricting access to a particular share

[fulat2k]

Hi folks,

I've got a Samba server running with sharing enabled to 3 folders. However, I want a particular folder to be accessible to only a particular group. Here's a snippet of what I'm using; which doesn't seem to be working as other groups are able to access the folder:

[misc]
comment = Misc Directory
path = /opt/storage/misc
read list = @boinks
write list = @boinks
force group = boinks
create mask = 0770
directory mask = 0770
guest ok = no
browseable = no

Any idea on what I'm missing to prevent other groups except for 'boinks' to access the share?


Thanks!

I think it's because you have force group = boinks. IIRC that says that all users who try to access the share should be considered a part of the group boinks. Try just removing that line and see if it works.

Awesome! It works! Thanks for the info. Should have read the usage of "force group" in more detail :)
