Good day every one.
I have a network with samba 3.0.7 running on a
server. Every hour, the server downloads antivirus
updates and pushes them to all the clients on the
network.
My objective is to give write permission for the
antivirus share only to this server machine. Other
machines should have only read permission. My samba
configuration file is as follows:
[global]
workgroup = pranan
netbios name = SANTOSH
security = SHARE
[test]
path = /antivirus
guest ok = yes
browseable = yes
hosts allow = x.y.z. //subnet IP address
write list = x.y.z.w //Server IP address
But my problem is every client machine is
asked for authentication with this
configuration and the server needs to maintain login
id and password of each machine, which I dont want
to maintain.
Is there any way of solving my problem? if yes
Please help me.
Thanks in advance.
Reagards
Prakash.

You can use something like rsync, or scp to directly put the new virus database in the directory which is shared via samba, which will then be simply read-only.
