=======Linux!!the Greatest!!====== I also have very simple questions on my /etc/smb.conf set up.. I, now, know that there are 3 big sections: [global],[home], and [printers]. Say, Willy is on his win 95 pc, connected to my samba server on a lan by ethernet. First thing I should do on my linux server is to create a user logon account for him with the adduser command..right( )or false( )?? Then in the [home] section, I can add something like: comment= willys home directory path=/home/willy valid user= willy read only= true public= true Question: When willy will log to my samba server, the logon he will have to enter is "willy" right?? Question II: What is called the guest access?? Is the guest access "valid user= willy"?? question III. Say, I have 3 other users, mark, jane and helena to whom I wanna give access from their win 95 client to my samba server. Should I just go in the [home] section and have something like: [home] comment= willys home directory path=/home/willy valid user= willy read only= true public= true [mark] comment= markss home directory path=/home/mark valid user= mark read only= true public= true [jane] comment=janes home directory path=/home/jane valid user= jane read only= true public= true ..and so on..under the [home] section. Could it have the same effect if under section [public] or [general] ??
