I've been assigned the task to make a fileserver with the following
share:
\\my-samba-server
+---- public <--- Shared folder without password
| restriction
|
+---- event <--- Subfolder that requires
valid username/password
I use Samba 3.0.12 installed on a FreeBSD from the ports collection.
The anonymous share-folder "public" is easy enough. My samba.cnf contains;
--------------------------
security = share
[public]
comment = %h Shared Public Directory
path = /usr/home/samba/public
force directory mode = 0777
force create mode = 0777
force group = samba
force user = samba
public = yes
writeable = yes
read only = no
inherit permissions = Yes
map archive = No
--------------------------
And the folder /usr/home/samba/public looks like this:
--------------------------
drwxrwxr-t 3 samba samba 512 Jun 27 13:16 public
--------------------------
But what should I do with the subfolder "event"?
>From a users point of view, the folders should work like this:
1) I open \\my-samba-server\public - The folder is opened without any
username/password requests. Inside this folder I can create files and
folders.
2) Inside \\my-samba-server\public there is a sub folder called
"event". If I try to open this, I will be prompted for
username/password before access is granted.
How do I do that? Is it at all possible, or can I only make it with
"event" as a separate share?
Thanks
