Samba share rights

[trickster]

Hi Guys,

I'm setting up a small samba share server on my home lan, and I'm having some configuration errors.

This is what I want to do:

I want to share the following directories:

/music --Read-only by everyone but user Trickster
/stuff --Read-Write for everyone
/Jorge --Read-Write for user Trickster, no access for anyone else.

This is my smb.conf file:

smb.conf

Now, if I browse the network under Windows, I see the server,though not the shares. If I click on the server (as to see what is inside. ie. the shares.) it asks me to type in a username and password, and no matter what I type, I can't get in. ???

Also, are my share definitions correct for what I want to do?

Thanks for any input.

have you setup your samba users?

Ok, I figured I had to run smbpasswd. Now I am getting to some shares. My questions are now:

1. How can I restrict some folders only for certain users?

2. Do I have to create a local account for each user?

3. Is there a way to set it up so the user won't be prompted for a password? Would that be a big security risk?

How much of a security riskis to SUID smbmnt?

Woe, dont do that!

Ill look into this in my Samba book. This isnt that bad as I recall. Just a few lines here and there.
