The easiest way to get this method working is to give
a Linux user account to every client user who will use the Samba server, therefore
providing basically the same file permissions to a user account through Samba as the
same user would get if he or she were logged in directly to Linux.
share??”The share value for security works best for just print sharing or for providing
file access that is more public (guest sharing). A client doesn??™t need to provide a valid
username and password to access the server. However, the user typically has a guest
level of permission to access and change files. See the sidebar ???Assigning Guest Accounts???
in this chapter for further information.
server??”From the client??™s point of view, this is the same as user security in that the
client still has to provide a valid username/password combination to use the Samba
server at all. The difference is on the server side. With server security, the username/
password is sent to another SMB server for validation. If that fails, Samba tries to validate
the client using user security.
domain??”From the client??™s point of view, this is the same as user security. This setting
is used only if the Samba server has been added to a Windows NT domain (using
the smbpasswd command).
