On a new Samba-4.22 file server I have 2 shares which point to the same tree of folders: [xy] path = /mnt/data/smb/xy read only = no hide unreadable = yes [xy-mailbox] path = /mnt/data/smb/xy/Scans/mailbox browseable = no read only = no I edited the ACLs via RSAT to achieve this: a group "xy-users" should have change rights on [xy] a user called "some-reader" should have rw-rights on [xy-mailbox] The customer wants to use the share [xy-mailbox] in a specific debian-VM and writes a systemd-mount-unit like: [Mount] What=//192.168.150.24/xy-mailbox Where=/mnt/mailbox_xy Type=cifs Options=credentials=/etc/samba/mailbox_xy_credentials,vers=3.0,uid=988,gid=982,file_mode=0660,dir_mode=0770,_netdev,cache=strict There are several such mount-units, using separate users for mounting multiple shares from the same samba-server 192.168.150.24. the mounts work and are shown as "rw" But I can't create files/dirs within that mount. I am unsure how to approach such "nested shares". Getting the ACLs correct always confuses me. Is there anything specific I can check first? I will mimic that mount on my local system to cross-check things. -- To unsubscribe from this list go to the following URL and read the instructions: https://lists.samba.org/mailman/options/samba
