Samba configuration (?)
Post 302300877 by woofie on Wednesday 25th of March 2009 09:24:12 AM

After doing some more reading I think I might have to edit the smb.conf file the old fashion way 
I've found some information which might help me. Just to confirm I'm going in the right direction though;
- I configure the smb.conf file
- add a user to the linux box
- use the adduser to add the client_pc then change this from user to a PC?
- then create the above in samba
- then reboot (or manually restart samba)
- join the Windows XP machine to the domain
Can someone just confirm if I'm going down the right path here with this?
Thanks heaps

Quote:
John is the user that we are going to use and to client_pc is the machine that is going to enter the domain
Now we must publish the configuration file so that client_pc does not stay as user.
dc#nano /etc/passwd
It is necessary to put sign $ of such form that is left something like this
John:x:1004:1004:,,,:/home/leonardo:/bin/bash
client_pc$:x:1010:1010:,,,:/home/manager$:/bin/bash

vfs_shadow_copy
VFS_SHADOW_COPY(8) System Administration tools VFS_SHADOW_COPY(8) NAME
vfs_shadow_copy - Make a Samba share read only for a specified time period SYNOPSIS
vfs objects = shadow_copy DESCRIPTION
This VFS module is part of the samba(7) suite. The vfs_shadow_copy VFS module functionality that is similar to Microsoft Shadow Copy services. When setup properly, this module allows Microsoft Shadow Copy clients to browse "shadow copies" on Samba shares. This module is stackable. CONFIGURATION
vfs_shadow_copy relies on a filesystem snapshot implementation. Many common filesystems have native support for this. Filesystem snapshots must be mounted on specially named directories in order to be recognized by vfs_shadow_copy. The snapshot mount points must be immediate children of a the directory being shared. The snapshot naming convention is @GMT-YYYY.MM.DD-hh.mm.ss, where: o YYYY is the 4 digit year o MM is the 2 digit month o DD is the 2 digit day o hh is the 2 digit hour o mm is the 2 digit minute o ss is the 2 digit second. The vfs_shadow_copy snapshot naming convention can be produced with the following date(1) command: TZ=GMT date +@GMT-%Y.%m.%d-%H.%M.%S EXAMPLES
Add shadow copy support to user home directories: [homes] vfs objects = shadow_copy CAVEATS
This is not a backup, archival, or version control solution. With Samba or Windows servers, vfs_shadow_copy is designed to be an end-user tool only. It does not replace or enhance your backup and archival solutions and should in no way be considered as such. Additionally, if you need version control, implement a version control system. VERSION
This man page is correct for version 3.0.25 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. Samba 3.5 06/18/2010 VFS_SHADOW_COPY(8)
