RE: SSH SAMBA
Hello, Our requirement was to enable our users to be able to connect to Windows XP machine via SSH access. Once connected they should be able to go into their home directory. Their respective home directory should be Samba mounted onto WinXP machine so that users can simply cd to their respective drive letter (onto which their home dir is mounted.) and work. We could manage to cnfigure cygwin and ssh ... so that when users logs in ..they get a cygwin bash shell.We have configured ssh as Administrator and cygwin is installed in the same profile. In order to do samba mount , we made a user map his home directory onto a windows drive as Z: and other users home dir onto drive Y:. Both got shared. And when both users logged in via ssh, they could see the shared drives ie. Z and Y. Now the problem is , Not only both the users are able to go into drives Y and Z but they can write in these shares as well. Means one user can write into other users home directory. which is simply not acceptable!!. How do we rectify this issue? Kindly suggest. Thanx. -- Unsubscribe info: http://cygwin.com/ml/#unsubscribe-simple Problem reports: http://cygwin.com/problems.html Documentation: http://cygwin.com/docs.html FAQ: http://cygwin.com/faq/
RE: SSH SAMBA
Hello, The SAMBA server is SuSE linux and home directories are samba shared and are in use with proper permissions. What permissions are you talking about here? The permissions of the home directories are already been set on Linux Server. There is not problem with that. Am I missing anything to point out here?

Since the details of your installation and the specific permissions of the file-systems and files in question aren't included above, I can only assume that you haven't set these permissions to achieve your stated goals. So I'd recommend checking that and making changes at that level as needed. -- Larry Hall http://www.rfk.com RFK Partners, Inc. (508) 893-9779 - RFK Office 216 Dalton Rd.

RE: SSH SAMBA
Yes Jakob. We have ssh server configured onto windows XP alongwith Cygwin. After this configuration, we did a samba mount from a Linux Server of lets say my home directory ( the user name is again from a windows Domain Server ). -Original Message- From: cygwin-ow...@cygwin.com [mailto:cygwin-ow...@cygwin.com] On Behalf Of Jakob Curdes Sent: Mittwoch, 17.

What permissions are you talking about here? If you are running SAMBA on cygwin this is not Suse Linux. Samba relies on the ACL management of the os and the filesystem used. Here, the filesystem is presumably NTFS and not SuSe linux. In NTFS, each node can be assigned permissions, similar to the linux way. Samba sees these permissions and uses them. That is what Larry tried to point out. The SAMBA permissions set via the config are something still different on top of the OS /FS permissions. Or are you trying to say that you run the SSH onto a windows box which in turn has network drives mounted from a linux server? HTH, Jakob Curdes The permissions of the home directories are already been set on Linux Server. There is not problem with that. Am I missing anything to point out here?

RE: SSH SAMBA
Yes you are again right. We tried that option, created 2 different users onto WinXP and made them login and map their individual home directories in their respective logins. But then the problem is , when that user connects to Win XP via SSH , he is not able to see his mapped drive , ( df doesn't show the mapped drive). Like said before , SSH is configured using Administrator account. If the users map their home directories in the administrators login then only they are able to see their home directories after connecting via SSH. Just saw Corinna reply, and I think Corinna understood the situation very correctly. The last option , I would surely give it a try.

RE: Cygwin SSH Multiple Users
Hi, After enough tries we were able to start the sshd in our environment and local users are also able to login. But in comes the next problem. We have samba mounted a share onto this windows system. The user with which we samba mounted the share , is able to see the shares in Cygwin. But other users are not able to see the share when logged in through ssh and checked with df. We expect to see this share by all the local users who are logged in via SSH. Any suggestiosns are welcome please. Thanks, Sac -Original Message- From: Holikar, Sachin (ext) Sent: Freitag, 5.
