[newbie] Samba server for shares

[Tobias Cloete]

Greetz all.   I’ve installed mdk10 with only a console and networking utils, selected samba as addon. Security mode is set to Highest.   I want to use this server to store some documents from different usr’s on our domain. Like their cv’s, monthly claims etc… I installed webmin afterwards, to enable me to administer the box remotely and only opened ports 138 (smb) and 10000 (webmin).   I want out domain user’s to be able to access \share\’usernamehere’ with their windows domain account. I don’t want to setup a 1000 unix users with 1000 different passwords, that’s not going be easy to administer.   I don’t want the box to be on the domain, but I want to be able to administer the shares with my normal windows usr account. Well, this is easy by creating a unix usr account for myself only and giving me full access to be \share and its contents, so that I can see it through my windowsbox and backup the data to a cdrw.   I want the permissions on the ‘usernamehere’ to only allow the user’s domain account name.   I’m confused as to how webmin works and if this will solve the problem   Any ideas?   Thanx, Jargon
