as I understand it, the answer might be to create a new user (say smbuser), add a new group (say, smbgroup) and add all the users you want (including smbuser) and make /home/smbuser global read write permission etc... to that group. I know there is a tutorial around here somewhere... I am looking for it and will e-mail it to you if I ever find it. good luck On Tuesday 10 July 2001 14:07, Mark Johnson wrote: > I want to setup a Samba server but I don't want to give an account on my > machine for every person, yet I don't want to have the clear-text passwords > flying about. > > Is there a way to enable public (guest) shares without having to add users > to the linux machine?
