samba issue: one samba share without password prompting and the others with.
Hi All, I've been trying to configure samba on Solaris 10 to allow me to have one share that is open and writable to all users and have the rest of my shares password protected by a generic account.
If I set my security to user, my secured shares work just fine and prompt accordingly, but when I try to visit my "open" share, it prompts for a password. If I set my security to share, then my "open" share works as it should, but then my "secured" shares do not work at all! Could someone give me a hand?
global:
# workgroup = NT-Domain-Name or Workgroup-Name, eg: MIDEARTH
workgroup = xxx
# server string is the equivalent of the NT Description field
server string = xxx
# Security mode. Defines in which mode Samba will operate. Possible
# values are share, user, server, domain and ads. Most people will want
# user level security. See the Samba-HOWTO-Collection for details.
security = user
# This option is important for security. It allows you to restrict
# connections to machines which are on your local network. The
# following example restricts access to two C class networks and
# the "loopback" interface. For more examples of the syntax see
# the smb.conf man page
; hosts allow = 192.168.1. 192.168.2. 127.
# If you want to automatically load your printer list rather
# than setting them up individually then you'll need this
; load printers = yes
# you may wish to override the location of the printcap file
; printcap name = /etc/printcap
# on SystemV system setting printcap name to lpstat should allow
# you to automatically obtain a printer list from the SystemV spool
# system
; printcap name = lpstat
# It should not be necessary to specify the print system type unless
# it is non-standard. Currently supported print systems include:
# bsd, cups, sysv, plp, lprng, aix, hpux, qnx
; printing = cups
# Uncomment this if you want a guest account, you must add this to /etc/passwd
# otherwise the user "nobody" is used
guest account = nobody
shared defs:
[app]
path = /d/biapps/
writable = yes
browsable = yes
create mask = 775
valid users = weblogic
[temp]
path = /w/temp
public = yes
writable = yes
browsable = yes
create mask = 775
guest ok = yes
guest only = yes
Thanks guys

Hi,
Currently I have a Samba shared configured as follows:
comment = Public fileshare
path = /u02/pub

There is a subfolder under /u02/pub called /u02/pub/expenses/hardware that I need to make read only. How do I do this? I am new to using Samba.

Hi everyone! I'm trying to run a script when a folder is shared and when it stop being shared.
Is there something like .start_share or .stop_share scripts in Samba where I could run some commands?:confused:

NAME
cupsaddsmb - export printers to samba for windows clients
SYNOPSIS
cupsaddsmb [ -H samba-server ] [ -U samba-user ] [ -h cups-server ] [ -v ] -a
cupsaddsmb [ -H samba-server ] [ -U samba-user ] [ -h cups-server ] [ -v ] printer [ ... printer ]
DESCRIPTION
cupsaddsmb exports printers to the SAMBA software (version 2.2.0 or higher) for use with Windows clients. Depending on the SAMBA configura-
tion, you may need to provide a password to export the printers. This program requires the CUPS or Adobe PostScript printer driver files
described below.
The -H option specifies the SAMBA server which defaults to the CUPS server.
The -U option specifies the SAMBA print admin username which defaults to your current username.
The -a option exports all known printers. Otherwise only the named printers are exported.
The -h option specifies a different CUPS server to use.
The -v option specifies that verbose information should be shown and is useful for debugging SAMBA configuration problems.
SAMBA CONFIGURATION
cupsaddsmb uses the new RPC-based printing support in SAMBA 2.2.x to provide printer drivers and PPD files to Windows client machines. In
order to use this functionality, you must first configure SAMBA (via the smb.conf file) to support printing through CUPS and provide a
printer driver download share, as follows:
[global]
load printers = yes
printing = cups
printcap name = cups
[printers]
comment = All Printers
path = /var/spool/samba
browseable = no
public = yes
guest ok = yes
writable = no
printable = yes
printer admin = root
[print$]
comment = Printer Drivers
path = /etc/samba/drivers
browseable = yes
guest ok = no
read only = yes
write list = root
This configuration assumes a FHS-compliant installation of SAMBA; adjust the [printers] and [print$] share paths accordingly on your system
as needed.
CUPS POSTSCRIPT DRIVERS FOR WINDOWS
cupsaddsmb can use the CUPS PostScript printer drivers for Windows, which are available for download from the CUPS web site.
The CUPS printer drivers are preferred over the Adobe drivers since they support page accounting, banner pages, and page labels on all
printers. However, currently only Windows NT, 2000, and XP are supported by the CUPS drivers, so you will also need to get the Adobe
driver to support Windows 95, 98, and Me clients.
Once you have extracted the driver files, create a "drivers" directory in the CUPS data directory (usually /usr/share/cups) and copy the
CUPS files using lowercase filenames, as follows:
[Windows NT, 2000, and XP]
cups.hlp
cupsdrvr.dll
cupsui.dll
ADOBE POSTSCRIPT DRIVERS FOR WINDOWS
cupsaddsmb can use the Adobe PostScript printer drivers for Windows, which are available for download from the Adobe web site
(http://www.adobe.com).
The CUPS printer drivers are preferred over the Adobe drivers since they support page accounting, banner pages, and page labels on all
printers.
Once you have extracted the driver files, create a "drivers" directory in the CUPS data directory (usually /usr/share/cups) and copy the
Adobe files using UPPERCASE filenames, as follows:
[Windows 95, 98, and Me]
ADFONTS.MFM
ADOBEPS4.DRV
ADOBEPS4.HLP
DEFPRTR2.PPD
ICONLIB.DLL
PSMON.DLL
[Windows NT, 2000, and XP]
ADOBEPS5.DLL
ADOBEPSU.DLL
ADOBEPSU.HLP
You can download and copy either set of driver files independently, and use the CUPS drivers for Windows NT, 2000, and XP while using the
Adobe drivers for the Windows 95, 98, and Me clients.
