Re: [expert] samba]

[Jason Greenwood]

Thanks to a local LUG member, got Samba going. Samba does not by default 
create a new smb user when you run smbpasswd. You must create it 
manually. I'm sure many ways would have worked but smbpasswd -a worked 
here and then with a few tweaks she came up roses.

Cheers for the help all,

Jason

ok, got the winpcs changed to the MDKGROUP. Without stuffing about 
trying to get users to have access to their home directories, is there 
an EASY way to allow anyone on the LAN to have access to the 
/home/public directory for sharing files from there??


In the /etc/samba.conf file down near the bottom you will see a section like
this, edit to you liking.
# A publicly accessible directory, but read only, except for people in
# the "staff" group
[public]
   comment = Public Stuff
   path = /home//public
# open to everyone
   public = yes
# writable no, if you want all to write to it change to yes
   writable = no
#if writable no, a list of users that can write. a @ is for a group and no @
is for users only. place a comma between users.
   write list = @staff
Make sure permissions are set correctly on /home/public and restart samba.

Gary.


Cheers

Jason
