Hi all,
I don't think this has been asked before.
I'm attempting to assist a school with user control. They need certain teachers to access student home drives to retrieve tasks (but not the entire collection of homes).
If I allow students write access to a share (ibay) then they can also read (substitute "cheat") and delete (with glee) other's work, surely.
Has anyone done this in Samba?
ACL's may work, but we are talking 500 odd students.
Further Info: Some time ago on a Ubuntu server, I added students and teachers to the same groups. Then created a browseable samba share, created a mapped drive on the teacher XP box and teachers had read access to all homes in allowed groups. Worked like a charm. So far I've had no success on SME.
This is quite urgent & I would really appreciate any comments or pointers.
Thanks,
