I have an ubuntu workstation running 13.04 as a server. I have one large LVM-volume spanning over four drives that contains a lot of data.
I mount this into my home folder of the user that the server is running under. I also share this as samba since most of my other computers are running windows. I have no problem accessing this data from another computer which is running the same username and password as the user on the ubuntu machine. we can call this user userA. I also have a second user, userB which wants to access these files as well. running from the same machines. The rights on the folder and subfolders are drwxrwsr-x and the group name is group1, both userA and userB are part of group1.
In the sharing options I tried setting both "allow others to create and delete files in this folder" and "guest access", and it doesn't seem to matter. I just can access the share from userB
I have some subfolders in the shared folder that should not be accessable to userB, therefor I have drwx------ (owner userA) on these folders.
What should I do. I'm not fluent in linux.
