Hi All,
I have just setup Samba so a few select users can now get at some
data without me running ftp (well some users find ftp difficult).
I have not setup Samba before and have got it working mostly.
If I login to Windows as "mike" then [linda] and [mike] directories appear
under the Network Neighbouhood. But you can browse *both* linda's and mikes
directories and windows does not ask for a username/password.
I want mike and linda on any Windows 98 machine to be able to browse
their directories on the Linux box (mikel & lindax) but I want them
to have to use a username & password to access them and I dont want anyone else to be
able to browse the contents of
their directories.
I have tried logging in/out windows in case it is caching usernames/passwds and have
also disabled mikel in smbpassword
to see how that changes access.
There is prob something that I am confused about. I have the Samba book in front of me
open at Granting guest access and
have tried a few combinations but I am missing something.
If I login to windows as another user say "test"
then Windows throws up a dialog box asking for a password but the
"resource" in the Dialog box is set to \\MOL\IPC$ as I presume that there
is no name mapping for user "test"
The Windows is Windows 98.
smb.conf details follow:
I have a mapping that translates the Windows "mike" to UNIX "mikel"
and likewise linda to lindax
bash-2.04# cat username.map
mikel = mike
lindax = linda
This is the relevant entries in smb.conf
username map = /usr/samba/lib/username.map
guest account = nobody
browseable = yes
security = user
encrypt passwords = yes
; I have added mikel and lindax to the smbpasswd file.
smb passwd file = /usr/samba/private/smbpasswd
[mike]
comment = Mike's
path = /home/mikel/windows
browseable = yes
; user = "mikel" ; dont need as I have a username mappping file
writeable = yes
; guest ok = no
[linda]
comment = Linda's
path = /home/lindax/Structures
browseable = yes
; user = "lindax"
writeable = yes
; guest ok = no
