Problem with Samba/Cifs

Pippo_9 — Thu, 06 May 2004 07:12:14 GMT

Hi all.

Software currently installed:
O.S.: HP-UX 11.00
Cifs Server: A.01.10
Base JFS 3.3 layout 3

I have got this issue:
I need to allow a
1) group of users to access to a Share with both read and write permits
2) another group only with read permits (on the same Share).

I would like not to use ACL.

Any hints?

Thanks

JPM

In your share put following options.

read only = yes
write list = "xxx bbb ccc and all users you want to give write access"

Hope this helps.

As RAC says - write list is the way to go...

Good documentation is on your server via SWAT.

Go to http://yourserver:901

Enter root for userid and password...

On the main page, go to "smb.conf - the main Samba configuration file "

Hi,

It's even easier if your group of read only users and read/write users are in separate HP-UX groups as you can then use the group name in the parameters that RAC mentions, eg:

write list = @rwusers

Darren.

Thanks to RAC and Darren, whose pieces of advice helped me to find the solutions.
