http://www.yolinux.com/TUTORIALS/LinuxTutorialManagingGroups.html File, directory and device permissions can be set to allow or deny access to members of their own group or all others. Modification of file, directory and device access is achieved with the chmod command. The permissions can be assigned in octal notation or in the more easily recognized character format where the command form is: chmod [ugoa][+-=][rwxXst] fileORdirectoryName Note: Other file systems can be mounted by Linux which support more file and directory options. This tutorial applies to the most popular Linus file systems: ext2, ext3, xfs and reiserfs
A few Samba Team members recently accepted an invitation by Microsoft and attended an SMB2.2 interop testing opportunity. Michael Adam has written a report about this successful event. The uncompressed tarballs and patch files have been signed using GnuPG (ID 6568B7EA). The source code can be downloaded now . A patch against Samba 3.5.12 is also available. See the release notes for more info .

SAMBA

http://www.samba.org/
There are several options available to increase the security for each individual shared directory. Using the [share] example, this section will cover some common options. Groups define a collection of computers or users which have a common level of access to particular network resources and offer a level of granularity in controlling access to such resources. For example, if a group qa is defined and contains the users freda , danika , and rob and a second group support is defined and consists of users danika , jeremy , and vincent then certain network resources configured to allow access by the qa group will subsequently enable access by freda, danika, and rob, but not jeremy or vincent. Since the user danika belongs to both the qa and support groups, she will be able to access resources configured for access by both groups, whereas all other users will have only access to resources explicitly allowing the group they are part of. https://help.ubuntu.com/10.04/serverguide/C/samba-fileprint-security.html
