How do I let admin see everything?

« on: July 13, 2001, 06:42:52 AM »

Hi!
I'm using (or rather planning to use) e-smith as my primary server in a public school setting in place of a bloated and unneccessary Win 2000 server. I was able to add all my users en masse using Darrells script and I love it. My question is I (admin) would like to be able to see all of my users home folders in "Network Neighborhood" on my Win NT 4.0 server or my Win 98 desktop so I can copy and manipulate student files quickly. Is there a way to do this? If I can do it then I will have replaced every feature that I need with e-smith vs a Win 2000 server. Any ideas?

You can add the /etc/samba/smb.conf and share all the /home and give admin all the rights you want

Can you give me a little more info on how to do this? I found the samba.conf file and I opened it to look at it, but I'm not sure what to enter and where. Can you give me an example? I'd really appreciate it. Thanks

[home_shares]
comment = home_directories
path = /home
valid users = admin root your_user_name
admin users = admin root your_username
write list = admin root your_user_name
public = no
writable = yes

you can also do this
[whole_linux_server]
comment = whole_linux_box
path = /
valid users = admin root your_user_name
admin users = admin root your_username
write list = admin root your_user_name
public = no
writable = yes

every time when your linux_server restarts then you must fill this in,

With regards
Ronald

It worked great! Now I just need to muster the courage to dive in and make the switch from Win2k to E-smith....e-smith is a whole lot easier in my situation. Thanks again!
