Did you set windows ACLs ?

No I haven't. How would I do that (sorry I'm a bit ignorant when it comes to this kind of stuff).

Has the group who are able to see all files and write to it have root permissions on the share?

No, none of the groups I've added to the share have root permissions. But, they do have full access.

I guess that wouldn't matter if ABE is setto global because it would hide all of the folders in the share until I provide access to them, correct?

Thanks so much for the detailed explanation masenf! I'll give this a try.

What would be the result if I accessed these shares via smb from an NFS client (OSX)? Would the POSIX bits then mimic the ACL?

Understood. I'll see what the result is on my end. Thanks again.

I figured that would be the case. Thanks for the quick response. Much appreciated.

Hi masenf,

chgrp and chown are change commands - What if I have multiple groups that would need to see the same folders within the share?

For example, doing chgrp /ifs/abe1/dir4 for each group would just continue to overwrite the previous setting? Have I missed something?
