People especially need to enter a valid username and password when
they are members of a Domain. The PDC and BDC(s) check for proper
authentication on the CentOS samba share; because, your CentOS samba
share is a member of the Domain, ( security = domain ). I believe,
however, that your users don't need to enter a valid username and
password; because, you have marked the share named "Public" as [
public = yes ]. I would expect that you wouldn't even need to enter
a new Linux username and password for each user accessing the public
share.
This avoids the problem of maintaining hundreds of usernames and
password, but it does not go without sacrifices in other areas.
Domain members get authenticated when they log into their Windows
boxes. Thereafter they don't have to re-enter credentials when
accessing shares. Since "Guest" is disabled for /Public on SPOCK, the
only people who can log into it are people who have valid domain user
credentials.
I have just one case of a Mac user who doesn't log into the domain
when the computer boots; that's the one case I have to address.
Right.
