Hello, Any one there ??? Is this the place to submit a Samba installation question ? I'll put it in anyway and hope for the best. Trying to decipher the Samba documentation on smb.conf etc. sends me to sleep. I have just installed Samba 7a on IRIX 6.5.... Seems to work ok and I can get to the IRIS server from my NT network. One problem however; When I mount a network drive ( from NT box ) on the IRIX file system coinciding with a user account, eg. \\IRIS\r1 and giving the requested r1 user account password, I can then mount any part of the IRIX file system from \\root down, without needing to offer a password. This is obviously not desirable. What is desirable is to have various parts of the IRIX file system available only via a password protected mount. eg \\IRIS\fred, \\IRIS\max, or even \\IRIS\root. etc. Can anybody suggest how to configure smb.conf to do this ?
