Access denied when try to create/modify objects via Windows

[dwestfal]

I am attempting to create a share on a Unix box and allow specific Windows users to modify (create/update/delete) files on that share. However, I have tried numerous configurations that have failed. I can only manage to give everyone write access or everyone only read access.

I have created the smb password file for the owner of the unix directory. Our windows users do not have unix accounts, although I can create these if needed. Is it possible to limit how Windows users access a share without creating unix accounts?

Can someone provide me an example of a working smb.conf entry for what I am attempting to do. Thanks.

add force group = "Domain Users" to the smb.conf file under teh share you want them to have access to
then on the unix share set the premissions to the UID of that group, on my side it's uid=1000
