Samba file structure
Hi,

My manager asked me to create the same file structure in the new Redhat 6 server, using samba, with the one already used on the windows server for file sharing.

For example,

Code:
Parent Folder 
        Child Folder 
        Child Folder 2

and so on

The issue now is that windows will allow you to share the Parent folder to everyone and then you can choose different permissions for the Child folders, where in samba the permissions are applied per share. So when the user will browse the server he will have to see all share folders listed instead of just one file (Parent). Symlinks cannot be used when applying CIFS so i cannot restrict or allow access

What am i doing wrong? Is there any way around the issue apart from the security that can be applied through samba or this is the way that i will have to work using linux?

ntdbbackup

NTDBBACKUP(8)						    System Administration tools 					     NTDBBACKUP(8)

NAME

       ntdbbackup - tool for backing up and for validating the integrity of samba .ntdb files

SYNOPSIS

       ntdbbackup [-s suffix] [-v] [-h]

DESCRIPTION

       This tool is part of the samba(1) suite.

       ntdbbackup is a tool that may be used to backup samba .ntdb files. This tool may also be used to verify the integrity of the .ntdb files
       prior to samba startup or during normal operation. If it finds file damage and it finds a prior backup the backup file will be restored.

OPTIONS

       -h
	   Get help information.

       -s suffix
	   The -s option allows the administrator to specify a file backup extension. This way it is possible to keep a history of ntdb backup
	   files by using a new suffix for each backup.

       -v
	   The -v will check the database for damages (corrupt data) which if detected causes the backup to be restored.

COMMANDS

       GENERAL INFORMATION

       The ntdbbackup utility can safely be run at any time. It was designed so that it can be used at any time to validate the integrity of ntdb
       files, even during Samba operation. Typical usage for the command will be:

       ntdbbackup [-s suffix] *.ntdb

       Before restarting samba the following command may be run to validate .ntdb files:

       ntdbbackup -v [-s suffix] *.ntdb

       Note that Samba 4 can use .tdb files instead, so you should use tdbbackup on those files.

       Samba .tdb and .ntdb files are stored in various locations, be sure to run backup all .(n)tdb files on the system. Important files
       includes:

       o   secrets.(n)tdb - usual location is in the /usr/local/samba/private directory, or on some systems in /etc/samba.

       o   passdb.(n)tdb - usual location is in the /usr/local/samba/private directory, or on some systems in /etc/samba.

       o   *.tdb and *.ntdb located in the /usr/local/samba/var directory or on some systems in the /var/cache or /var/lib/samba directories.

VERSION

       This man page is correct for version 4 of the Samba suite.

AUTHOR

       The original Samba software and related utilities were created by Andrew Tridgell. Samba is now developed by the Samba Team as an Open
       Source project similar to the way the Linux kernel is developed.

       The ntdbbackup man page was written by Rusty Russell, based on the tdbbackup man page by John H Terpstra.
