I read an email in here where Volker replied to a person saying that
share level was really weird these days, etc. Here's the full context:
************
I have a server that contains share level users , but would like to be
in AD domain for any new users.
Not on the same IP.
You are sure that you mean share level? This is really,
really weird these days.
If you want no-password access for certain shares, for a
certain group of hosts or so, there are other ways to
achieve that.

***********
Okay, so fair enough. Now, I've got a pretty simple setup, a linux
based printserver using cups to handle about 540 printers. It's all
share level. I'm using samba 3.2.x and getting ready to upgrade into
the 3.4 mix. Since there are better ways, I'm very interested in
this... here are the boundaries I need to work within.
This system is replacing a windows 2003 printserver which keeps choking
on the various mix of drivers. Linux doesn't have this issue, so cool
So, one advantage to using linux outside the AD auth system is that I
can keep the printers available for anyone. In our environment, that's
actually kind of important as we have clinics who print stuff to us who
are not on our network. Used to be rather painful before.
So, I need to keep my anonymous auth in place.
Here's my current smb.conf
This does work, I'm pretty happy with it's peformance overall, and just
need to know - is moving to 3.4 going to make stuff worse? What should
I be reading about for all the other ways to accomplish the same things?
thanks,
Jack
