Access to /home directories
I have created a group ABC to manage files on the server. I want to give members of this group access to all the /home/userfiles Some of which are members of ABC, but the majority are not.
I do not want all the members of ABC to have root privledges.
What is the best way to do this? Can I just change the group ownership of /home from root to ABC?

For an easier way
I use Webmin to manage my Linux servers. It is very easy to install and saves a lot of time when managing multiple Samba servers. Try it and I'm sure you will find it easier than managing *.conf files.

Uh I'm going to pretend that you're just being off topic and not spamming.
