What you can do is make all of your clients and your generic build
user belong to the same unix group, and use the samba config to
enforce group writablilty:
[client-downloads]
path =3D /home
read only =3D no
valid users =3D @cdnload
force group =3D +cdnload
create mask =3D 0664
force create mode =3D 0664
directory mask =3D 0755
force directory mode =3D 02775
And create the group 'cdnload' and add your samba user and your
clients to that group:
pw group add -n cdnload -M smbusr,client1,client2,client3
=46rom the Unix side you can set the umask to 02 or 07 to permit group
write for each user account. However, unfortunately there's no way to
enforce that and you clients could change that at will.
Cheers,
Matthew
