Hi guys, I have one FreeBSD server which will run Samba, and one windows client. I want the server to have two shares; each protected with their own password. So once i have connected the windows client to one share, when i click on the other a password-box should popup; with user-level security this does not work, Windows will use the same credentials as it used for the first share. So now i am trying share-level security.
But how does it work? Documentation is lacking in my opinion; and google did not provide much help too. So i need: Security = share in my smb.conf. But what next? Given the two shares: [alpha] path=/alpha writable=yes [beta] path=/beta writable=yes I would expect i could put a "password = Jr23rJfd" in the share; since it's share-level security we shouldnt need to work with users. Some people on IRC said i should use smbpasswd -a, but that would just add the "root" user to the password database. How does Samba know to which share this password belongs? And one samba-user cannot contain two passwords so how do we create the next password? Why is documentation so unclear about this? If any of you guys could help; many thanks! - Veronica -- To unsubscribe from this list go to the following URL and read the instructions: https://lists.samba.org/mailman/listinfo/samba
