Hola, Tengo 2 servidores ubuntu 20.04, uno esta como controlador de Dominio el otro esta solo para almacenamiento, el de almacenamiento ya tiene la estructura de carpetas compartidas y lo tengo montado en el servidor de dominio. El problema es que los usuarios del dominio pueden ver las carpetas tal como esta en la configuración del smb.conf. pero por más de intento no logro que tengan escritura. Alguna luz maestro.

This video was amazing, thank you! I was setting up a network mount using the fstab and I saw someone say to write permissions using 0770. What is the first 0 in the string? Shouldn't it just be 770? (I know I am giving full access to the user and group and none to guest)
