I've only used MacOS and Linux my whole life. The reason I'm still not using groups is because I don't quite get the mapping. I'm not joining a Windows Domain. The other thing is, I don't know if I should create a samba users group in the system and add my samba users to it or use an existing group. I'm lost here. > Thanks, ---- a windows domain is a windows workgroup with extra features - if you want to use samba groups, you have to use samba groups and you have to map the groups. I gave you the link to the direct topic of samba group mapping. I don't know how much more help I can give you.
