[NMLUG] samba questions

[timothyemerick at yahoo.com (Tim Emerick)]

Hey gang.  Couple of samba questions.
 
1)
I'm getting very confused with linux/samba permission conflicts.  I would like to let samba take care of file permissions by creating/modifying files with a -rwxrwxrwx type permissions.  I'm under the impression that this will defeat the linux permissions and let file access depend on a password passed to samba.  Can someone give me a pointer on using chown and chmod such that samba is controlling file permissions 100%.  
 
I am trying to emulate a Win98 type share mode file/print sharing setup where users must provide a password for certain shares.  I've googled around but most help is directed to PDC type setups.
 
2)
I've been having problems with windows print jobs still showing in the queue even after they've been printed.  While this is more an annoyance than anything else it seems that over time I have to kill the queue and re-create it to dump all the leftovers out.  I think it has something to do with the LPR commands being passed.  
 
3)
I've been having problems with a btrieve based application which slows to a crawl after some period of use.  I moved it off the samba server and it now sits on a win98 machine humming along happily.  It seems to be using btrieve 6.15 in a peer to peer mode.  The application developer says they only support MS platforms but I'm sure I can move it to samba.  Last time I tried I seemed to be having problems with file locks.  Last time I googled there was a recognized issue out there with MS access files and btrieve files with oplocks.  Anybody have any answers?
 
Thanks in advance for any help, suggestions, or links.
