Re: [K12OSN] apache and student websites

Paul's got it.

That's probably one of the trickier aspects of using Samba--dealing with
file & directory rights between the Unix & Windows worlds.  This chapter
from O'Reilly's _Using Samba_ book was very helpful in my quest to mesh the
two schemes:

Of particular interest is figure 5.7:

I had an interesting journey in my quest to get Samba to act as a PDC in a
small office with Windows workstations.  Getting rights to set properly on
newly created files by default in the Samba shares was one of the issues
that had to be worked out (sort of what you are seeing).

Just had to get it all sorted out in smb.conf, once I got that down it
worked perfectly...
