I am trying to create a master share that contains all the other shares. I created a group that needs read+write permission to all the other shares. However, rather than adding this group in each share configuration, I was wondering if there is a way to overwrite the permission. I tried this but gave read-only access. Also in the linux level, I don't have this master group as the owner. Any

I have 19 servers with this smb.conf share definition working: [export] comment = Exported Files path = /tmp/export guest ok = Yes On the 20th server however, this just doesn't want to work. I've gone through the basics of guest access and permissions more than a few times trying to figure this one out. Approaching this from another angle, I tried the following

Any possibility to apply policies on WinXP machines using samba 3.2.3 ? In samba documentation in : http://us1.samba.org/samba/docs/man/Samba-HOWTO-Collection/PolicyMgmt.html There is references to apply policies in NT/2000 Server and winxp clients, but it's not clear to me that will run fine or not using samba 3.2.3+winxp machines. If exist a way, How ? I was create a local policies using

I've got a paranoid client who has a samba server on a small LAN who wants to know if and when any of his employees 'transfer' (read, copy off etc) any more than a certain threshold of data a day from the server, I think he's worried that some employee may grab a lot of stuff off the server and then share it with his competition. I tried to explain that this wasn't a very

Is it possible to have a "password-less" share available to only certain users? I've been searching all over and could not find anything.

I currently have a 95% Novell Network network that continues to have constant printing issues. Enough Novell bashing, here lies the problem. I am trying to migrate all of our printers over to a samba print server, but in several of my tests I have come up with problems. I will attach my smb.conf at the end for those of you that wish to see it. I am using lprng as the printing backend because all

Hello, I'd like to create user home directory or user-own folder on samba server on first login to samba without using PAM, so how could I do this? Thank you, Denis

My original thread had the incorrect subject line. The original trouble / question remains open and unsolved. Greetings- I am working through coming up with a Linux client integration to Samba PDC's.

smb.conf states "This user must exist in the passwd file, but does not require a valid login" What exactly does this mean? As I understand it, adding a user with 'smbpasswd -a nobody' automatically gives it a valid login. My reasons for asking are; I added myself to passdb.tdb with my passwd. I added the 'nobody' user to passdb.tdb with no passwd. I then logged in to
