Windows groups and Samba
by MichielvM from LinuxQuestions.org on (#4YYNM)
Hi there,
First off: I looked for similar threads but none were of much help.
My situation:
A few Windows users asked me for a Centos server hosting httpd and samba.
The server is joined in Windows-AD and it's possible to login using AD accounts.
Httpd and samba are running without much hassle. But there's my issue, it's working a bit too good.
The samba share is RWX accessible by everyone!!
The only thing I need to learn is how to limit write access to the share to a select group of windows users.
I can't usermod any of them without having them login to the CentOS server first. Which can be arranged, but IMHO unnecessary.
I can't really figure out how to go about this.
Any pointers are much appreciated.
