[K12OSN] Samba Question

[Brian Benson]

Sorry in advance if this isnt much
help... Can users delete files that
other users create? If not it sounds
like a umask or a group file ownership
problem. what does `ls -l` look like
after creating a file with a user? I
would check the unix group then use
samba to "map" that unix group to a
windows group with the samba `net`
command. (I have only used samba group
mapping in a samba domain environment)

Good luck.

I know on the linux side, the files

smb.conf file doesn't let it work.
