Copy numerous private Samba-shares as one user. (Syntax question)
Hello Forum,
I was overwhelmed by how fast and correct the responses to my first question in this forum was, and I hope I expreience this again today.
The reason is that I have to copy a fileserver (Ubuntu 8.04 32 with Samba) to another server via Internet within tomorrow. I have no problem with the shared (Samba)folders, but are struggling with the private ones.
And my question is quite simple:
When adding users to the Samba-server i follow this procedure:
Create a user in Linux and add password to user.
Create user in Samba and add same password.
Edit /etc/samba/smb.conf by adding the new username to the shared folders.
I have configured Samba to, in this process, also create a private share for each linux-user one the server. This is done by the following "code" in /etc/samba/smb.conf:
Code:
[profiles]
browsable = no
writable = yes
path = /home/private/profiles
guest ok = no
comment = User Profiles
valid users = %u
create mode = 0600
browsable = no
directory mode = 0700
How do I add myself as one of the valid users? (By doing that I hope to be able to copy every folder in one batch.)
I can of course go around the problem by allowing guests, but I don't want to if I don't have to.
I am running AIX 7.1 and currently we have samba 3.6.25 installed on the server. As it stands some AIX folders are shared that can be accessed by certain Windows users.

shared that allows read and write permissions for everyone and points to

Create another share called www that points to the... (1 Reply)

However, the unix mount command requires I specify the name of the share. What if I don't know the name of the share?
How can I enumerate all the shares from the samba client machine?
