Hi Ricky,

I am aware of the setup as described. I have already looked at that WIKI as 
well as a large number of similar posts elsewhere. The problem with this 
setup is that all shares become unprotected - i.e. passwords not required.

As I server wages information and customer data details this is unacceptable.

I know that it is a short sighted option and ultimately I will have to pay for 
it, but I am now investing my efforts into repairing my Fedora 8 server.

If anyone can give me anything like the same functionality I would appreciate 
it.  My current config is:


[global]
	
	workgroup = LEEDS
	server string = Combined Larry/Eddie Leeds showroom server
	hosts allow = 127. 10.
	log file = /var/log/samba/log.%m
	max log size = 50
	security = share
	passdb backend = tdbsam
	local master = yes
	os level = 33
	preferred master = yes
 	wins support = yes
	remote browse sync = 10.2.1.255
	remote announce = 10.1.255.255/LEEDS 10.6.255.255/MOTORPARK 
10.7.255.255/LEEDS 10.8.255.255/LEEDS
	debug pid = yes
	debug uid = yes 
	debug timestamp = yes
	debug hires timestamp = yes
	client lanman auth = yes
	load printers = yes
	cups options = raw
	
[homes]
	comment = Home Directories
	browseable = no
	writable = yes
 	valid users = %S
	force user = %S
	path = /home/%S
	
[printers]
	comment = All Printers
	path = /var/spool/samba
	browseable = no
	guest ok = no
	writable = no
	printable = yes
	
[tmp]
	comment = Temporary work area
	path = /tmp/samba
	writeable = yes
	browseable = yes
	public = yes
	read only = no
	force user = gary
	printable = no

[scanner]
	comment = Document holding area
	path = /user/remote/scanner
	writeable = yes
	browseable = yes
	public = yes
	read only = no
	force user = gary
	printable = no


etc.......
