samba - Oct 2018 - Multi domain (trusted) - share access (RHEL5.3)

<https://superuser.com/questions/1366590/samba3-0-x-multi-domain-trusted-share-access-rhel5-3#>

I need to provide samba share access to multiple domain users. How can I
specify the valid users parameter in smb.conf. Below are the trusted domain
details. Users authentication via NIS and kerberos realm for both domains
are updated in krb5.conf. Does below settings provide share access to both
domain users?

[mining]
comment = mining
path = /export/vdisk/mining
valid users = @instream, @DCN
writeable = yes
guest ok = no
create mask = 0664
directory mask = 0775

Just in case you missed it last time, here is what I posted last time
you asked this question (in a slightly different way):

Well, if this was a Debian based machine, I would run 'dist-upgrade' ;-)

Unless you missed it, RHEL5 is dead and should no longer be used,
unless you have installed the last red-hat Samba packages, you will be
using Samba 3.0.x packages (which again are dead). If you have
installed the last available red-hat RHEL5 Samba packages, then it will
be a 3.6.x version and guess what, this version is dead as well.

So, as both your distro and Samba version are dead, you don't really
have any other option, you will have to upgrade.

If your problem is a bug (it may not be, it could be a lack of a
feature or features), you have absolutely no chance of getting
anybody to fix it, partially because it will probably have been fixed
in a later version, but mainly because your distro and Samba version
are dead.

Sorry if this upsets you, but it is better to tell the truth at the
start.

Please upgrade your computer and Samba to a supported version and you
might find it works ;-)

Hi Roland,

FYI CentOS (and therefore RHEL) 6 is still alive and 'yum list samba'
returns 3.6.23-51.el6.  That does mean that for the next couple of years
there are fully updated machines which are running Samba 3.6.

Regards,
Martin
