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'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

I was wondering if switching the whole system to Samba-based

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.

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.

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

I'm following along in the guide, trying to make printer drivers available from Samba.

I'd hate to have to edit the group policies on 50

Which takes priority/preference? Thanks. Scott
