As a thought - I'm wondering if the topic needs slitting up into
multiple sections/pages? Maybe something like:
An introduction/overview to samba (users, file permissions etc)
Basic samba setup with example (security=share)
Group shares with examples (security=user)
Printing
AD integration
etc ...
That seems to me to be the best way.
When I was reading through some documentation a few weeks ago,
specifically the "Samba by Example" book:
http://us1.samba.org/samba/docs/man/Samba-Guide/
I was surprised that the "more basic" examples were commonly using
security = share. I thought I had read somewhere in the past that
security = share was either deprecated or at least not recommended
hence my surprise at seeing it being used in the official
documentation. Personally I've always used user level security but
share level would certainly ease a few potential headaches for new
users requiring a "quick and dirty" share.
Just so we're all on the same page, does anyone know (or have any
views) what the current thinking is on this?
I am using security=share whenever I am not interested in authentication
(public shares that is).
The not so famous " map to guest = Bad User " was a much bigger headache.
