Hello. I've got several clients using samba (ranging from 2.2.1a to 2.2.5) as their primary windows server. The question has come up with clients about ease of administration and security rights for samba. Currently, the only way I've been able to show clients how to manipulate security settings and restrict users from certian shares is to use write and read lists per share, or create directories with certain group access rights and have each user that needs access be given rigths by doing a usermod and adding the group. Is there a simpler method to do this, that is possibly web orientented? I know SWAT can modify the user and group rights to shares, but what I really need is some web interface to manage users and groups on a Linux box. With Red Hat Linux 7.3, Linuxconf is no longer shipped, so its not possible to use its web interface anymore to configure users. Thanks for any help, Aton
Try webmin. It is quite good. Brian On Sun, 2002-06-23 at 15:47, Aton wrote:> Hello. > > I've got several clients using samba (ranging from 2.2.1a to 2.2.5) as > their primary windows server.
