Samba permissions
I'm in the process of setting up a Ubuntu based samba server to replaces our current windows file server.
I have everything properly configured including having the server authenticating with AD but im having trouble setting up permission on a folder to mimic our current windows setup.
From a windows client I can surf to
\\Win-server\Private\username and I have it setup so our users can't enter the Private directory but can access a mapped drive that points to a mapped drive.
For example JDoe can only access \\Win-server\Private\jdoe and Mary can only access \\Win-server\Private\mjane but neither can surf directly to \\Win-server\Private\.
Is this even possible and if so how?

LOCKTEST(1) Test Suite LOCKTEST(1)
NAME
locktest - Find differences in locking between two SMB servers
SYNOPSIS
locktest {//server1/share1} {//server2/share2} [-U user%pass] [-U user%pass] [-s seed] [-o numops] [-a] [-O] [-E] [-Z] [-R range] [-B base]
[-M min]
DESCRIPTION
locktest is a utility for detecting differences in behaviour in locking between SMB servers. It will run a random set of locking operations
against //server1/share1 and then the same random set against //server2/share2 and display the differences in the responses it gets.
This utility is used by the Samba team to find differences in behaviour between Samba and Windows servers.
OPTIONS
-U user%pass
Specify the user and password to use when logging on on the shares. This parameter can be specified twice (once for the first server,
once for the second).
-s seed
Seed the random number generator with the specified value.
-o numops
Set the number of operations to perform.
-a
Print the operations that are performed.
-A
Backtrack to find minimal number of operations required to make the response to a certain call differ.
-O
Enable oplocks.
-u
Hide unlock fails.
-E
enable exact error code checking
-Z
enable the zero/zero lock
-R range
set lock range
-B base
set lock base
-M min
set min lock length
-k
Use kerberos

This man page is correct for version 4.0 of the Samba suite.
