If you have already manually installed samba, then it is assumed that you have the technical expertise to manually configure samba and smbpasswd yourself.
With libpam-smbpass, whenever a user logs into the computer with a password or changes his/her password, the corresponding samba user will be created/modified with the password given. > would be nice if you could set a per directory password. If you have libpam-smbpass installed, this is already possible by managing the users in System->Administration->Users and Groups, and manipulating the permissions set on the folder itself. -- Kind regards, Chow Loong Jin (GPG: 0x8F02A411) Ubuntu Contributing Developer -- samba shares easier to set up with password https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/487943 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list [email protected] https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
