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?

pmdasamba

PMDASAMBA(1)						       Performance Co-Pilot						      PMDASAMBA(1)

NAME

       pmdasamba - Samba performance metrics domain agent (PMDA)

DESCRIPTION

       pmdasamba is a Performance Metrics Domain Agent (PMDA) which exports metric values from Samba, a Windows SMB/CIFS server for UNIX.

       In order for values to be made available by this PMDA, Samba must have been built with profiling support (WITH_PROFILE in "smbd -b"
       output).  This PMDA dynamically enumerates much of its metric hierarchy, based on the contents of "smbstatus --profile".

       When the agent is installed (see below), the Install script will attempt to enable Samba statistics gathering, using "smbcontrol
       --profile".

INSTALLATION

       If you want access to the names and values for the samba performance metrics, do the following as root:

	       # cd $PCP_PMDAS_DIR/samba
	       # ./Install

       If you want to undo the installation, do the following as root:

	       # cd $PCP_PMDAS_DIR/samba
	       # ./Remove

       pmdasamba is launched by pmcd(1) and should never be executed directly.	The Install and Remove scripts notify pmcd(1) when the agent is
       installed or removed.

FILES

       $PCP_PMDAS_DIR/samba/Install
	   installation script for the pmdasamba agent

       $PCP_PMDAS_DIR/samba/Remove
	   undo installation script for the pmdasamba agent

       $PCP_LOG_DIR/pmcd/samba.log
	   default log file for error messages from pmdasamba

SEE ALSO

       pmcd(1), smbd(1) and samba(7).
