Another quick Samba Question

[Justin Bennett]

Yeah the file security is the most important for files and directories.
I can have a share ,my home directory, that is read right for me but a
file in it that is owned by root and I can't delete it from windows. I
use samba level security for who can map the share, and whether it's
full access or read only to which users. 

Example: (@ means group).

valid users = @mis, john (who can map the share)
write list = @auto, @eng (who can write to the share (if file security
agrees)

But then I control file and directory access with the file permissions
in linux.  In samba you can force users and groups as well as
permissions of newly created files. 

force group = eng
create mode = 0666
force directory mode = 0777

Or is it what security you have set for the folder in Linux itself. I am just confused because unless I go to the console and set the security there, nothing I seem to set under samba makes a difference. I have security set for user, I have the samba acting as a PDC. Is that pretty much how it works? Linux itself controls the security in the end ? Any help would be greatly appreciated. Hopefully someone understands what I asked ;).
