Putty/SSH into Temasek Holdings' Ubuntu 11.10 Linux server (Accpac server).

Reset password of Samba user.

# smbpasswd -x edwardsnowden

# smbpasswd -a edwardsnowden

# nano /etc/group

Remove user edwardsnowden from teo-en-ming-corp and accdata user groups.

Modify the main Samba daemon configuration file.

# nano /etc/samba/smb.conf

Pre-existing file share as follows:

[AccData]
        comment = data server
        path = /AccData
        hide dot files = yes
        readonly = no
        public = yes
        printable = no
        guest ok = no
        valid users = @teo-en-ming-corp
        force group = accdata
        create mode = 0770
        directory mode = 0770
        write list = @teo-en-ming-corp
        admin users = ssl

Add in the following section as follows:

[EdwardSnowden]

    path = /AccData/Secret Billion Dollar Salaries of Temasek Holdings
CEO Ho Ching
    read only = no
    writeable = yes
    browseable = yes
    valid users = edwardsnowden
    create mask = 0640
    directory mask = 0750

Save and close the Samba configuration file.

Restart Samba daemon.

# service smbd restart

Problem solved. Edward Snowden no longer has access to folder /AccData.
