I'm working on redoing my notes on users, groups, and permissions, including problems I've run into. I'll see about sending that to you when I have a chance. Until then, if you want to wing it yourself, try adding your linux and samba users to the same group if they are going to share all the same files. I'd recommend learning it this way and taking notes. It might sound mean, but it's about learning how to go through the processes rather than immediately recalling information and not being able to apply it. Learn how to find what you need, and you're all set.
I thought that but I'm not fully sure how Unix/Linux classifies who's accessing what. I want to be able to copy files to and fro the server, as well as edit all files, and I don't know if, when doing that from my PC or Laptop, Linux considers me a "user" or an "other" so I just set it all to 777 to be safe. I'm still pretty noob to linux. <.<; Only been working with it for about 3 months now.
I wouldn't recommend sharing at 777 if you can get around it. At least leave the "other" to only read and execute(5). Leaves you open otherwise if someone gets through your firewall somehow.
