[NTLUG:Discuss] Samba File Shares

[Alex D. Coker]

I just can't get this one to work, maybe you can help.

I have a RH6.2 box that I want to setup a file share on. This box is
already on an NT domain, and Samba needs to be restricted to only
serving the file share.

Problem: I have the share working, but only for users on the Linux box.
I need the share to be available to the entire domain, without creating
accounts for everyone on the domain. I should not have to maintain
duplicate user accounts just to access the file share. The NT PDC
(192.168.1.1) controls all of the user accounts.

Things I've done in smb.conf:

# Security mode. Most people will want user level security. See
# security_level.txt for details.
;   security = user
   security = server

# Use password server option only with security = server
;   password server = <NT-Server-Name>
   password server = 192.168.1.1

# Use only if you have an NT server on your network that has been
# configured at install time to be a primary domain controller.
;   domain controller = <NT-Domain-Controller-SMBName>
   domain controller = 192.168.1.1

# A publicly accessible directory, read/write to all users. Note that
all files
# created in the directory by users will be owned by the default user,
so
# any user with access can delete any other user's files. Obviously this

# directory must be writable by the default user. Another user could of
course
# be specified, in which case all files would be owned by that user
instead.
[public]
   path = /home/public
   public = yes
   only guest = yes
   writable = yes
   printable = no
