Greetings Folks,
I'm having a bit of a snafu with Samba... and its clearly a security issue.
I *think* its a security issue with linux itself, rather than the samba.
Here is what I'm trying to achieve:
Laserjet 4 attached to lp1, available and shared across the network to my
four NT servers, my 98 laptop, and my linux laptop. In network
neighborhood, I can see the Linux server in question, expand to see the
shares available (minus the printer), yet I can't map a printer. Tried the
net use command as well.
I want one file share, and one file share only :) Called "www" which
allows my username "frederic" (not root) to have read/write/create access
to the /home/httpd directory.
The account "frederic" ended up being user "500" and group "500". I've
read the man pages for a while, and don't quite get this. Anyone have a
good link to a linux security/admin/samba config designed for people who
can barely sign on?
Thanks in advance!
Here is my config:
[global]
workgroup =XEPHIC
comment = Prod0 Samba
volume = cdrom
; printing = BSD or SYSV or AIX, etc.
printing = bsd
printcap name = /etc/printcap
load printers = yes
; Uncomment this if you want a guest account
guest account = pcguest
log file = /var/log/samba-log.%m
; Put a capping on the size of the log files (in Kb)
max log size = 50
short preserve case = yes
preserve case = yes
; Security and file integrity related options
lock directory = /var/lock/samba
locking = yes
strict locking = yes
; fake oplocks = yes
share modes = yes
security = user
socket options = TCP_NODELAY
[homes]
comment = Home Directories
browseable = no
read only = no
preserve case = yes
short preserve case = yes
create mode = 0750
[www]
path = /home/httpd
case sensitive = no
guest ok = yes
locking = no
read only = no
browseable = yes
user=frederic
create mode = 0700
; NOTE: There is NO need to specifically define each individual printer
[printers]
comment = All Printers
path = /var/spool/samba
