Hi all, new to samba yadda yadda..
I think I am going in the wrong direction here.
I am setting up an smb server to store photos. These are publicly
available in read only except to the group 'staff'. Yes, I read the
How To. ;)
So in my smb.conf I have this...
[photodir]
comment = Public Photos
path = /home/photo
public = yes
read only = yes
write list = @staff
I have added the user 'photo' to the system with the home dir of
/home/photo
I have used smbpasswd -a photo and given the user a smb password.
I can list using smbclient -L 192.168.0.6 and I get this...
I can mount the drive from a client like this..
Anonymous login successful
Sharename Type Comment
--------- ---- -------
photodir Disk Public Photos
IPC$ IPC IPC Service (PHOTO SERVER)
ADMIN$ IPC IPC Service (PHOTO SERVER)
Anonymous login successful
Server Comment
--------- -------
SAMBA PHOTO SERVER
Workgroup Master
--------- -------
WILDCHERRY SAMBA
When I do this I am prompted for a password, and simply hit enter and it
displays.
Is this a good thing or a bad thing?
I can then mount the share using
mount -t smbfs //192.168.0.6/photo /home/samba/ -o username=photo
and ls shows all the files on the remote smb server i the photo directory.
But, the files therein are not read only, I can delete files from there simply
by doing rm filename.txt
This is bad. I need this to be read only. Where did I go wrong?
Kind regards
Kevin
