Hey<div><br></div><div>So I switched to ubuntu server 9.10 and I need to configure samba. What I want to do is share folders in which only the owner has access to. For instance I want to share my external drive and I am the owner of that folder and only if I put my credentials based off of the server information regarding my account. Now I also want possibly other groups to have access as well (this does not have to be just this folder in general), essentially I want it to use acls. Below is the config file that I currently have. When I was using open suse it allowed be to use current users on the system as users for samba. </div>
