[TriLUG] Samba question

[jonc at nc.rr.com]

I've done a lot of this. Group shares generally work just fine. Heck as
long ago as 8 years ago I had this working for a large company with each
branch having their own shared folder areas. The folks didn't even know
that it was a Linux box running samba that they were attaching to.

Why don't you post your config.
