 However this parameter does not work e.g. with SECURITY = server. 
 
 Therefore I would be really interested in a solution as described with
 this sentence above with different NetBIOS aliases. Does such a solution
 really exist, or should this sentence be removed from the man page?

Configuring Samba virtual servers using netbios aliases or
interface IP specific configurations has been around for
a really long time.  I'd be really surprised if map to guest
doesn't work with security = server but then again, I think
security = server is a really horrid idea anyways.

Quoting Weiser, Johann ([EMAIL PROTECTED]):
 There is this really fancy sentence in the smb.conf man page: It is
 possible to use smbd in a hybrid mode where it is offers both user and
 share level security under different NetBIOS aliases. 
  
 There are a number of question here in this mailing list around this
 sentence and the answers are usually to use map to guest parameter.

 Therefore I would be really interested in a solution as described with

This can be done roughly the following way:



smb.conf:

[global]
netbios aliases = foo bar
include = /etc/samba/%L.conf


/etc/samba/foo.conf:
security=share
.../...

/etc/samba/bar.conf
security=user
.../...



The server will appear twice in the network neighbourhood. When
clients connect to foo, the server will be in share mode. When
clients connect to bar, the server will be in user mode.

To my experience (but that was long ago), there may be some drawbacks
as there is still one samba server running and sharing its data files
between the two personalities.
