Gday,
You don't say that you want samba to work for other directories and users as
well, so I assume not. {that's a whole lot harder :) and I am also having
trouble with that.}
To state the bleedin obvious, there's a whole man page about smb.conf. I
havnt read the book you mention. but samba has changed from early versions.
in smb.conf,
hosts allow = ipaddr
will forbid all connections except host whose IP address matches ipaddr.
hosts deny = ipaddr
will allow all connections except hosts whose IP address matches ipaddr
valid users = name1 name2
only users in the list of names can access the service
The following listing will share the users home dir , /tmp, a "stuff" dir
that only rogersj and basil can use, and all printers. Users will need an
account and password on linux that matches their windows details. Only the
hosts with IP's xxx.xxx.28.139 and 28.140 can connect to the samba machine.
It is used in a WinNT domain as a peer, not a server.
you will need to change IP address's, workgroup and users names for your
setup.
Only the active parameters are shown here, I removed the remarked out lines
and comments for shortness. the file seems to work o.k. with ver 2.05 samba.
