I have a NAS that only allows CIFS mounts on a Linux machine. I would like to set it up on a server, that I don't have root access to (but can ask every once in a while the root to do something on the machine) such that different users have access to different directories with different permissions. The ideal thing would be able to use the chown and chmod command, but this is not allowed with a CIFS mounting point.
Right now the NAS works fine on the Linux machine, only it is like the wild west: everybody has permission to look into everybody's else directories, even delete them if they wanted.
What are my options in regards to that with CIFS?
