I have a no-frill samba server that users can access their home
directories from. Now,
I'd like to set up a share that contains a file that only I can write
to, but anyone can read it.
I only seem to be able to do one or the other. If I can write to it,
no one can read it. If everyone
can read it, I can't write to it.
I must be misunderstanding the settings of the options that I have
available.
Everyone can read the file with these settings, but no one can write
to it, including myself
[test]
path = /export/share/test/file.txt
read only = no
guest ok = yes
If I add the last two lines, then I can write to the file, but no one
else can see the file any longer.
[test]
path = /export/share/test/file.txt
read only = no
guest ok = yes
write list = me
valid users = me
In both cases, I get a dialog box that requests access either as guest
or registered user. Here's
the relevant global section.
[global]
workgroup = METAR
encrypt passwords = Yes
smb passwd file =/usr/local/samba/private/smbpasswd
map to guest = Bad user
security = share
preferred master = yes
domain master = yes
local master = yes
os level = 255
wins support = yes
username level = 2
use client driver = yes
Any help would be appreciated.
