Dear Bjorn, Indeed so grateful for your quick reply
I was indeed using earlier samba actually I just installed it using yum. now I did upgrade samba to recent one samba 3.6.8 and after running the testparm command displayed no errors but still I was not able to achieve my goal as christian mentioned in his reply i do think his mistaken cause there are many guys whos post i see and they have solved it by adding just his 2 below command in their smb.conf file hide unreadable = Yes hide unwriteable files = Yes Is there anything I could look into as I mentioned before I have used webmin to create both local and samba users whos user names are the same and so also groups here below my smb.conf ---- [global] workgroup = MYGROUP server string = Samba Server Version %v disable spoolss = Yes domain master = No idmap config * : backend = tdb cups options = raw [homes] comment = Home Directories read only = No browseable = No [printers] comment = All Printers path = /var/spool/samba printable = Yes print ok = Yes browseable = No [kmplan] comment = masterplan testing directory path = /opt/network/testplan valid users = @localgrp write list = @localgrp read only = No hide unreadable = Yes hide unwriteable files = Yes access based share enum = Yes also here below are the permissions of /opt/network/testplan directory drwxrws--T 3 root localgrp 4096 Oct 10 19:39 testplan Actually every things works fine what I mean is if I log in as a user who belongs to localgrp I can read/write the kmplan share which is perfect but when i log in as user who does not belong to localgrp i can see the kmplan share although i cannot access it. as christian said i can hide the share but even for valid users the share is hidden n i obviously dont want to hide the share for valid users regards simon --- On Thu, 10/11/12, Björn JACKE <b...@sernet.de> wrote: From: Björn JACKE <b...@sernet.de> Subject: Re: [Samba] How can I show only the shares that user have access to in SAMBA To: "simon ben" <guy200...@yahoo.com> Cc: samba@lists.samba.org Date: Thursday, October 11, 2012, 2:10 AM On 2012-10-11 at 01:22 -0700 simon ben sent off: > but when I do a testparm it gives a error > ------------------------------- > [root@kmshare samba]# testparm /etc/samba/smb.conf > Load smb config files from /etc/samba/smb.conf > Unknown parameter encountered: "access based share enum" > Ignoring unknown parameter "access based share enum" then your Samba version is too old then. This parameter was introduced with Samba 3.6 I think (maybe 3.5 already). On http://www.enterprisesamba.org you might find recent packages for your distribution that support that feature.
