[Samba] samba access permission questions
Hello all, I read through the samba documentation, and tried to understand the samba permssion setting. I had several questions regarding to it: [1] if set secruity = user, Samba will use "valid users", "invalid users" "read list" "write list" to validate the user connection, and permssion. It will ignore the "username" option in the smb.conf file. Is this right ? [2] if set security = share Samba will ignore the "valid users" "invalid user" "read list" "write list" option, and only use the "username" to validate the user connection and permission. Is this right ? [3] The book "Using samba" has the following sentence: "Samba will attempt to validate the password against the list of users it has previous compile throughout the attempted connections.... How to found that list, or ask Samba to not look thougth the list. Also, are there any FAQ regarding to Samba's security setting ? Any comments and suggestions are appreciated. Thanks Xiaowen,
