To put it another way, all users have accounts on the server. I don't
want to have to set up ANY user information on the server, other than
what I set up to control local access. I just want to say "Share
/vmware" and have it available, to the same users who can access it
locally.
With Samba I have to maintain duplicate user lists, password lists,
and share access lists. I have not been able to find a clear
instructions on how NFS4 handles this, but what I found didn't seem
any better than Samba.
I don't mind implementing ACLs on the server if it will do what I
need, but I can't find anything that says it will save me any work
either.
Well, since you want to set up shares ... and since you want to share
between Windows and Linux machines, and to share for windows you will
need to use samba.
Since you can also set up linux to use a samba client, that would
probably be the best method to "share these files" ... if you expect to
just oepn them via a file manager on all platforms.
Is there a way to set up samba so that it "just uses" ACL information for
permissions, instead of having to spell everything out for each share and
each user?
