- Create a test ibay e.g. test with everybody persissions
- Create an new user account with the NT administrator credentials
- First make a backup copy of your smb.conf (just in case)
- Edit the test-ibay part the original /etc/smb.conf
--------------------------------------------------------------------
[test]
common = test ibay
valid users = 'new NT administrator account' e.g.: administrator <= newly added line
path = /home/e-smith/files/ibays/test
read only writable = no
printable = yes
inherit permissions = yes
create mode = 0644
-------------------------------------------------------------------

Save the file and restart samba (service smb restart)

Try and test if it works. Take a look at '/usr/share/doc/samba-2.2.x/examples/default
