Are users logging into the PC with this one account? Or are they logging into PC's with unique accounts? Are they accessing other shares besides this one? If this is the only share, it shouldn't be a problem (technically.)

I would like to authenticate several desktops with the samba server using the same user name and password. Is it possible for 5 desktops to work simultaneously using the same user name and password in the same share on the samba server? Are there any downsides or possible problems with this approach? Permissions are inheritable and based on groups:


# mkdir /media/test
# chmod -R 770 /media/test
# chmod g+s /media/test
# chown -R root:users /media/test

# cat /etc/samba/smb.conf
[global]
workgroup = WORKGROUP
netbios name = TESTSERVER
security = user

[test]
path = /media/test
read only = No
store dos attributes = yes
inherit permissions = yes
