On a Lucid server, I've two sections defined in my /etc/samba/smb.conf
file: one is the default [homes] section and another public share that
I'm using share files in LAN.
[homes]
comment = Home Directories
browseable = no
read only = no
create mask = 0600
directory mask = 0700
valid users = %S
guest ok = no
[share]
comment = Shares
path = /work/share
browseable = yes
read only = yes
create mask = 0600
directory mask = 0700
guest ok = yes
With the default security = user, I can't have the public share
accessible to the world, because it asks for password and rejects
anyone without right credentials. To circumvent that I set security =
share. Now I'm able to see the directory 'share' when I do \\my-server
from Windows. However, the problem I face is that, I can't access my
home directory by saying \\my-server\jeenu; it says not accessible.
However, I'm able to map it via Tools->Map Network Drive, by giving
the right credentials.
My question is how can I (or any one) have the best of both the
worlds? I.e. without having my home directory network mapped, how to
access the share by typing \\my-server and access their home directory
by \\my-server\jeenu.
FWIW, I've:
map to guest = bad user
Thanks.
