samba - Jul 2004 - Windows/Linux directory share with differnt security

Hello group,

 

 I have Windows 2000 workstations and Linux 9 that runs applications 

 and file servers.

  Samba is running and I see all shares on the Linux box.

  What I need to do is give a certain directory a share as follows:

  All users will be able to see, read and browse this directory.

  Only an administrator user will be able to write/delete this
directory.

  This is how the share in the smb.conf looks like:

  [mfg]

  comment = mfgpro file server

  path = /mfg

  readonly = yes

  public = yes

  

 

 Thanks for your help,

Hi,
samba will first honor the linux
permissions to any file or folder,
so first make clear that the wanted permission are able
to your native nix systems.
If this is ok you can take samba to control
permissions to this share for win clients
like i e.
readlist = @readers
writelist = @writers, Admin
read the samba doku about this,
there is also the chance to make use of group mapping
and acl , which might be more complicated to setup
reading man smb.conf will give you all anwers you need
Regards
