What I do is add the users that are going to share the partition into a common group, e.g. "data1". Then, in /etc/samba/smb.config, I put something like this: [data1] comment = ORL shared data1 (primary) path = /data1 browseable = yes writeable = yes write list = alice bob joe force group = +data1 create mask = 0660 directory mask = 0770 This should allow users "alice", "bob", and "joe" (who are all members of group "data1") to have full read / write access to the /data1 directory.
