Thread: second user can't access samba

hi!
sorry ask i'm trying fix days , had no luck.

goal following: want 1 samba network share family data. multiple users should have access share win7 pcs not folders should access able everyone. old windows server managed changing ntfs rights these folders.

i've installed samba , recommended gnome utility (ubuntu 10.4). first testing made samba share access right everyone. fine on win...
allowed user. worked after little bit of playing global samba settings , pw encryption...
created new ubuntu user , configured new samba user connection ubuntu user (like described in many tutorials using samba config tool). changed access right of samba share allow new user no connection possible. @ point original user working same pc without problem.

started thinking of windows time , decided search file system rights ntfs. i'm using ext4 way.
made chmod 777 -r new users login... (i'm not sure why there no user dependency chmod)
used chown -r seems there 1 owner allowed switched main user...
installed additional feature called acl , able set users , groups root folder there no possibility recursively change subdirs. used such acl gui extension gnome in ubuntu repository that. wasn't helping problem new user has no access folder (even if change rights manually)

i'm confused right now.
user & b have access rights @ least root of share.
both users have ubuntu , samba account.
user working samba.

please help! don't want move windows because of such stupid configuration issue.

depending on method used set shares, might helpful see /etc/samba/smb.conf
