Re: Restrictions using Samba

thanks for all your help Kendall, I have been away for a few days and havn't been able to thank you sooner, I'll give this a try.
To clarify my understanding of this though, do the text files just store the NT User names that they are authenticating with? If that is right then this is exactly what I need.

Thanks again...
Mark.

Okay, I've spotted the obvious flaw in the suggestion I posted a few
minutes ago... :)

I think it might be time for a pair of text files containing the two lists
of user names, and using these something like:

acl first_user_group auth "./first_users"
acl second_user_group auth "./second_users"
acl first_time MTWHF 9:00-18:00
acl second_time MTWHF 18:00-23:59 (copied from above)
http_access allow first_user_group first_time
http_access allow second_user_group second_time

Are we getting closer? :)
