samba - Aug 1998 - Restricting samba clients to a single user

Hi,
I have set up a network of about 60 PC's running Windows 95 with a Samba
server running on Solaris. We have domain logons.  Everything working great.

What I need to do now is to assign each PC to one user so that each user is
only allowed to logon in his/her PC. I have read all the docs and lists I
could find but only found a passing reference to doing this with preexec but
I couldn't make it work since preexec ignores the exit status of the command
it executes.

I would appreciate any help, and if I have to resort to programming, some
pointers on where to begin in the source.

Thanks,

Guillermo

One way is as following:

put

  include = /usr/local/lib/smb.d/usr.%m

in your master smb.conf and for every PC with name %m create the above
file with

  valid users = <your user name>

See smb.conf(5) about %m, include and valid users.

If file won't be found, the include line will simply be ignored, so some
of your PCs can be restricted and other not.

cheers
