I've got an ubuntu box that I administer that runs that network storage for our company which is mostly windows machines and a few macs. We are quite small and until now we've only had all shared folders. The configuration I've used for a typical is as follows:
[Marketing] path = /srv/samba/share/marketing read only = no browseable = yes guest only = yes guest ok = yes hide dot files = yes security = share guest account = nobody create mask = 0666 directory mask = 0777 This seems to work perfectly, but now I am trying to implement private folders. Eventually I'd like to do permissions on each department's folders but for now private users will do. Here is the configuration I'm using:
[homes] comment = Home Directories browseable = no map archive = yes valid users = %S writeable = yes guest ok = no Before that I make a user on the ubuntu, set a password and create a home directory.
My issue is this seems to work... sometimes. Windows typically will accept a username/password and then not allow the user to switch them. It seems to work on some systems and not on others. Macs allow you to switch users easliy but I've not been able to test extensively. Is there an issue with my configuration?
