In smb.conf I have the line
valid users = @Staff @Directors
Is this a valid syntax to add two groups to the valid users line? It does not seem to work right on our xp pro clients.
If not which of the following is the proper way (if any) to make two groups valid users of this network drive?
Which is proper for windows clients?
valid users = +Staff +Directors
Or do I need to use the &
valid users = &Staff &Directors
Or some combo of the two?
valid users = &+Staff &+Directors
valid users = +&Staff +&Directors

Just add comma ',' if you want multiple valid users. See line that I used below.
valid users = @group1, @group2
I wound up adding the users from the most restricted group Directors to the Staff and Interns group as well as their original group. Then I added the users from the Staff group to the Interns group as well as their original group.
The line I used was a simple
valid users = @group_name
On Samba4 with internal dns:
valid users = +"cmpc.leg\adm"
also works.
Where
cmpc.leg=realm
and
adm=group
