Paste the output of:

O I got your edit.

It most likely started to work after you recreated the users in smb.conf. However they have access through "other" permission. Unless they're all members of group "gueston."

Okay I appreciate your help much thank you!

Only one small bug left. The file those three names should ALL have access to it, yet only qn can access the file? qn is a standard user and the other two are admin?

inside the quston group all three names are listen in there.

I would have thought the reverse tobe true. 'admin users' file operations are treated as root or a 'super user.' Try not to use it.

I'm getting lost in language; are you saying one of three users can access your share "Queston Files" or are you saying one of three users can access a file within the share "Queston Files?

Sorry for the double post but i'm heading out for supper and...

You installed samba-doc so checkout Samba3-ByExample.pdf. It's under /usr/share/doc/samba-doc-SomeVersionNumber.

But the short answer is likely permissions on the file-system.

Hey sorry for the long wait, not in the office. On the server when I click the Question Files. It asks for a password, only one user works and allows me access in the file, the there do not? yet all three users are in the same group and need to access it.

I tried using one of these user names and there passwords on two comps that a can't seem to connect. I would Map to network drive but it would say something like this folder is used by a different user name and I need to disconnect from some drive on network map. thing is all three need access to this folder. they are in the same group too? I use system-config-users to group users.

Most likely on the filesystem.

chmod +X /home/queston
chmod +X /home/queston/Desktop
chmod +X /home/queston/Desktop/Queston Files

Troubleshoot this way. From a terminal, change into users jn, qn, ta and try to cd & ls your way to /home/queston/Desktop/Queston Files. Any problems?

Fantastic. ^-^

I truly appreciate your patience with me in resolving my problem. Ya it was one of the folder destinations, it was missing an execute permission. Would buy you a beer if you are of age and in my state lol. Now I can continue restructuring the other hundred of folders and should not run into any issues from now on when it comes to samba.

Again, thank you so much Beaker.

For future reference:

chmod -R +X /home/queston

will apply your permissions to all the subdirectories of question without you having to do it manually for each directory.

-R is recurse

--- edit ---

Oh - that "-R" works for a ton more commands than just chmod,
