hey friends, I have 2 problems in samba I am narrating my problems below:
a) I have configured samba with security =ads in FC3 workstation and my domain controller is windows 2003 ,the samba is working fine with the configured options.As my domain consists of windows ,linux and unix clients and few of the users uses windows as well as Linux or Unix each user having its different machines. Now i want the users which uses both Linux/Unix and windows should be able to see their home directories and other folders through windows.Just like a normal configured samba as File server and users frm the network neighbourhood can see their home directories and other folders. Is it possible if the security = ads is setup and if then a user wants to see his/her home directories and other folders from the windows.I have created a directory for my domain in home folder and if any users who is first time logging its directory is created under /home/mydomain/user. If it is possible then please let me know. b) I have setup the linux box (FC3) with samba with security = domain and password server = s1.sun.com(internal).The domain controller is Windows 2003 and my system is FC3 server. I have created one folder in which i have created some directories.There are different types of users in my company some in development, some in administration , som e in top management.I have created some folders in which users can put their data to share among their colleagues or team. What happens is that when somebody clicks on samba server all the folders which i have explicitly mentioned in the smb.conf are shown .Whereas what i want is that only those folders should come when the user access the samba server on which he has the right to access it. Suppose james is a user having access rights on folders cpms, manager. Now when he clicks on the samba server he sees his home directory where he can put his data, a cpms folder which is shared among the other development team members(have set it with suid) and manager(have set it this also with suid) and all other folders (specified in smb.conf) on which he does not have the rights.He can't access those folders in which he don't have the rights but i don't want to show the james those folders on which he does not have any kind of right. Ideally is should be when james accesses the samba server he should see his home directory,his cpms and manager folder nothing else.So that he should know that he can access and only have access to these folders. I tried with u% variable but this variable works for only primary group not for secondary group.I hope that many of u have faced the same problem. Please anyone of you can give me solution.
