Creating a "dropbox" share where all users can save work, but only staff members can read it

• Log on as root and go to a command line
• Run the command: mkdir /usr/dropbox
  Create the dropbox folder
• Run the command: chmod 1777 /usr/dropbox
  Gives everyone write access to the folder but, crucially, only allows users to delete files they've created.
• Run the command: chgrp staff /usr/dropbox
  In conjunction with the permissions set later, allows staff member read and write access to the whole of the dropbox
• Add the following to /etc/netmanager/smb.shares. Do this by running the command: joe /etc/netmanager/smb.shares and then adding the lines at the end. Save the file by type Ctrl-K followed by X.
  

  [dropbox]
  comment = User work drop box
  path = /usr/dropbox
  browseable = yes
  create mode = 0660
  directory mode = 0770
  writable = yes
  

• The configuration file will be automatically re-read, so the share will be virtually immediately available
• Alter your logon script to map the share as a drive
