Re: /etc/smb.conf /etc/smbusers

["identity" <id pt lu>]

Hi,

I don't know how much you know about samba, so I will give you an example.

If you want to make it possible that the users can gain access to their home
directories, they must be present in the linux "environment". for example:
'adduser identity' 'passwd identity'. And now you have to enter the
following to /etc/smb.conf :

[homes]
   comment = Home Directories
   browseable = no
   read only = no
   create mode = 0750

That's all now they are able to get to their and only their home directory.

I think that the smbusers file is used for access restrictions on none home
directories. Just type 'smbadduser identity:sam' where identity is the name
of the user on the linux box and sam (it's my real name) is an network
alias. Now you can add the line

  valid users = identity         (or is it 'validusers' I#m not shure you
have to try)

to any of the

[*****]

and only identity can connect to that directory.


That's all
