It is possible, because I am doing it. I have share=user and have home directories viewable by the user and the admin (me). I have various departmental shares that each department can access and no one else (but the admin -- again me). Even shares that aren't browsable, so no one even knows they are there if not given access. And I have several public shares, some read-write, some read only with install files and such. USers that try to access a share they have no permission to get the logon box, but it will never actually auth because their rights don't allow it.On Wednesday 26 March 2008 18:59:41 Les Mikesell wrote:This is becoming a real hijack, which I didn't intend. However, All users that are intended to be able to share have a user account on the samba server. All users have samba passwords matching their login passwords, whether in windows or linux. I couldn't even get their home directories to show using 'user' mode.Anne Wilson wrote:Like John, I fought long and hard to get user share working. I read Everything I could, including buying Samba3 by Example. In the end I admitted defeat and went back to shares.If you really want a public share with no authentication at all, share mode is probably the best approach. If everyone that should have access is logged into a windows domain anyway, you can transparently accept this authentication and either keep their user id (as for a home directory share) or force it or their group id into something that gives common r/w access to a share. You can also do the latter with explicit logins against uses in the smbpasswd file.Anne
