Thanks for your replies! To update, things are working now. Smilie I think i now know what blunder i was committing: i was running this script as follows:
Code:
sudo sh scriptname.sh

'su' must be assuming that my intended user is 'root', and since even root user was not able to create directory in the given path, the script was failing. When i changed it to the following, it worked:
Code:
sudo sally sh scriptname.sh

@Corona688: Nice catch! However, I am running 'mkdir -p'. By the way, even if i had not used -p option, i think i would have got a different error message, correct?

To answer your question, 'harry' belongs to another group called 'teacher'. I was wondering why 'setfacl' did not work though i could see it set using the 'getfacl' command. I was wondering about the other way that you mentioned to remedy this. Can you please hint me what you were referring to?

@ctsgnb: I am on a different machine than the Samba server. I just see the exported Samba share. Though i asked from my colleague whether the share is a Samba share or some other type of share, and he did say Samba, I was still wondering whether there is any concrete way to ascertain this. Thanks for the link ctsgnb!

Mark all shares read only: [global] vfs objects = readonly Mark the [backup] share as read only during business hours: [backup] path = /readonly vfs objects = readonly readonly:period = readonly:period = "today 9:00","today 17:00" VERSION
This man page is correct for version 3.0.25 of the Samba suite. AUTHOR
The original Samba software and related utilities were created by Andrew Tridgell. Samba is now developed by the Samba Team as an Open Source project similar to the way the Linux kernel is developed. Samba 3.5 06/18/2010 VFS_READONLY(8)
