Greetings!
I was wondering how I could properly set up a /pub directory that could be
accessible to my roommate's Win95 computers over a LAN. I briefly
experimented with a SUSE installation on my old 486 system with the /pub
directory burned into a cd and Samba accessing the cdrom drive. This worked
out OK but it was pain to get working. I'm now waiting for a new Pentium
motherboard and hard drive before I set up a permanent file server
installation.
I think this is how a /pub directory should be set up (again, I'm not sure):
1. Create a pub user account that automatically creates a /home/pub
directory.
2. Enable the subdirectories in pub to be world read-only but keep the
various "." files in the pub directory private to the pub user account.
3. Set up the appropriate read-only permissions in Samba to have the
directory accessible as /fileserver/pub to the network.
Am I missing anything here or is there better way to set up the pub
directory?
