[Samba] Restricted folder inside public share
I've been assigned the task to make a fileserver with the following share: \\my-samba-server + public --- Shared folder without password | restriction | + event --- Subfolder that requires valid username/password I use Samba 3.0.12 installed on a FreeBSD from the ports collection. The anonymous share-folder public is easy enough. My samba.cnf contains; -- security = share [public] comment = %h Shared Public Directory path = /usr/home/samba/public force directory mode = 0777 force create mode = 0777 force group = samba force user = samba public = yes writeable = yes read only = no inherit permissions = Yes map archive = No -- And the folder /usr/home/samba/public looks like this: -- drwxrwxr-t 3 samba samba 512 Jun 27 13:16 public -- But what should I do with the subfolder event? From a users point of view, the folders should work like this: 1) I open \\my-samba-server\public - The folder is opened without any username/password requests. Inside this folder I can create files and folders. 2) Inside \\my-samba-server\public there is a sub folder called event. If I try to open this, I will be prompted for username/password before access is granted. How do I do that? Is it at all possible, or can I only make it with event as a separate share?

It will not work this way. Once a Windows client has connected to the public share, nothing will make it re-autheticate the connection. You will just get an access denied for the protected subfolder. You may even run into problems if you work with two separate shares on the same server, as windows does not support connecting to two different shares on the same host with different credentials. -- Wolfgang Ratzka Phone: +49 6421 2823531 FAX: +49 6421 2826994 Uni Marburg, HRZ, Hans-Meerwein-Str., D-35032 Marburg, Germany http://www.uni-marburg.de/hrz/mitarbeiter/ratzka.html -- To unsubscribe from this list go to the following URL and read the instructions: https://lists.samba.org/mailman/listinfo/samba
