Sorry for the confusion.
I have user directories on an NT server.
I have setup AUC and can use it as our Intranet system (provides a great
range of facilities).
One of the features of AUC is creating courses that users can access, this
gives them read access to the course directory - /var/auc/course/coursename
I can then create a directory in there that I have called users so I have
/var/auc/course/coursename/users
The I use smbmount to mount the NT share containg user directories as
/var/auc/course/coursename/users
All auc users can then access these directories, however there appears to
be no security, all files become readable by all.
I guess what I need is to find info about setting up security on Samba that
makes sense to me. Do you know of any simple explanantions?
Samba is not needed by AUC at all, this is just an extra I am trying to
implement.
Thanks
