Edit /etc/group to create a new group and add members to it. The line might look like this: mygroup:x:200:user1,user2,user3 Then change the group ownership of the directory: chown root.mygroup /path/to/directory Make sure your group can read/write the files and that they will have the same ownsership and permissions on any subdirectories they create: chmod g+rwxs /path/to/directory There are some settings in Samba (smb.conf) that will need to reflect the ownership and permission inheritance: force group mygroup inherit permissions = yes man 5 group man chown man chmod man smb.conf Tony - -- Anthony E.
