Here is how I do it (YMMV)
Find the entry in smbusers, "root = administrator admin" and comment
it out. Right now. You have been warned!
Create a generic user with a shell of /bin/false. call it "total"
Create two groups. Call them "processor" and "originator"
Create two directories.
Give ownership of one directory to total:originators and the other to
total:processors.
Set pemissions on the directories to 0770
Create the user accounts putting Processors in the processor group and
Originators in the originator group.
Put youself in both groups
Make each directory a share using the "force group = <groupname>"
option. Probably a good idea to set:
create mask = 0775
force create mode = 0664
directory mask = 0775
force directory mode = 0775
Now only members of the appropiate group can access the share and all
created files and sub directories will be accessible to the
appropiate group.
Remeber that _Linux_ in charge of the permissions and access not
Windows. Whatever permission you give a user account determines what
they can do based on UNIX permissions.

In vi use "dd" until it is gone. In emacs use "crtl-K" until it is
gone. Save.

Blessed are those who, in the face of death, think only of the front
