Title: create samba share?
Post by: dave rose on April 16, 2002, 07:19:04 PM

Hello.
  I wanted to ask a question about shares versus I-Bays.  I wanted to have for my admin. account a share for some already established directories so I could access data from my W2k workstation.  I thought the I-Bay was used for that, but it looks like I-bays set up new directories when created.  That won't work for me.  Can I set up a Samba share with a template?  what template would I need to alter to make for instance a smb share at say /etc/e-smith/custom-templates/smb.conf  ?  This is for a home network, so Im not as worried about security as if I were at work.

I just created a share called documents, totally expecting the usual folders:  cgi-bin,files,html.

Since I did not need this to act as a development domain (I always name my dev projects *.dev and enable dynamic content, accessible to the entire internet, etc.) I did not make it accessible to the entire internet.

Set this:  Public access via web or anonymous ftp:   to NONE

You have what you want  -  if I understand you correctly.

Cheers
