Alright. I have a Linux box with SuSE on it running Samba. Samba works;
can map to it, transfer files, etc. But it doesn't work the way I'd
like it to.
Apparently Windows XP will only allow you to map to a particular Linux
machine one time. This can be worked around by mapping once with the
name (e.g., \\server\user) and once with the IP (e.g.,
\\198.383.87.3\user). However this only allows two separate
connections.
My problem is this: I have Samba set up to work with a variety of user
accounts. I have several users, they log in, they get their home
folders. However, I want them to see other folders as well and I don't
want everyone to see the same folders.
That is, let's say there are folders A B C on my Linux machine. I want
one guy to see A and C and another guy to see B and C and a third guy
to see them all, and I want this to happen by having them just log in
with their personal accounts. The way it's set up now, each folder we
have available on Samba has its own account, so you have to disconnect
and then remap in XP with a different name. If I could do the above, we
could avoid needing to map the same machine with several names at once.
Basically, I want everyone logging in with his own account to be thrown
into the same location/directory, but I want to be able to control what
each person can see within that location.
Keep in mind that I know absolutely nothing about Linux. I used a
sample smb.conf and altered things in it, so there is a ton of
superfluous stuff in it and I don't know how most of it even works.
I'll post it below. The /builds directory referenced refers to a
particular directory I wanted to be able to see when I first set this
up. However, we now connect to it using its own account, so I don't
think it needs to be referenced. Again, I have no clue what I'm doing.
Thanks in advance.
