Here is mine:
[global]
smb passwd file = /etc/samba/smbpasswd
path = /mnt/win_d2/Public
auto services = Anne_Public
printing = cups
dns proxy = no
encrypt passwords = yes
valid users = Andy,Gillian,Micky,nigel
socket options = TCP_NODELAY SO_RCVBUF=8192 SO_SNDBUF=8192
printcap name = lpstat
max log size = 50
preferred master = no
writable = yes
security = user
server string = Samba Server %v
workgroup = WORKGROUP
comment = Anne_Public
netbios name = Anne_Linux
log file = /var/log/samba/log.%m
load printers = yes
default = Anne_Public
write list = Andy,Gillian,Micky,nigel
[homes]
path =
comment = Home Directories
[printers]
comment = All Printers
path = /var/spool/samba
browseable = no
[print$]
path = /var/lib/samba/printers
browseable = yes
read only = yes
write list = @adm root
[Anne_Public]
user = Andy,Gillian,Micky,nigel,@users
write list = Andy,Gillian,Micky,nigel,@users
What about the [homes] line that has no path? Should it have?
I do wonder about the Netbios name, too. It shows up on Neetwork
Neighbourhood as Anne_linux, and Andy got a return ping from Anne_linux,
but my Mdk shell prompt is anne-linux.
Any comments, please?
Anne
