SAMBA Mount

Shell Programming and Scripting
1

Hi,

Please can somebody advise me on the issue where I have a Samba mount created for one of the directories with read only access to all the IP's in the network.

Now beside read only access I want to provide Modify access also for two IP's.

Please advise.

Best Regards,
Shazin

Hi Neo,

What exactly can we make changes in smb.conf to keep read only access to all the IP's and modify access to the two IP's.

Thanks,
Shazin

Hi Neo,

Current configuration is:

path = /export/home/ctsdb/reports

        guest ok = Yes

        read only = No

Thanks,

To make the a directory in SAMBA readable by the public, but only writable by people in group "TEAM", modify smb.conf this way:

    [public]
       comment = Team Writable
       path = /home/public
       public = yes
       writable = yes
       printable = no
       write list = @TEAM

Hi Neo,

Thanks, please can you also advise how to include the two IP address in Team.

Best Regards,

You cannot include IP addresses in the group ID in a SAMBA configuration. If you want additional restriction based on IP address, you might consider using ipchains to block access, and then user usergroup configuration for read/write access.

This SAMBA smb.conf reference should be useful to you.

I forgot to mention hosts allow in the SAMBA config file.
