Here is the current version of [global] section and some of the shares. The 'domain master' line has never been in any of my older setups, but it was put in to cure the frequent battles to resolve masterships, mainly caused by family laptops that are not directly under my control. [global] workgroup = lydgate.lan server string = Samba Server Version %v netbios name = borg2 log file = /var/log/samba/%m.log hosts allow = 192.168.0. 127.0. acl compatibility = winnt wins support = yes local master = yes domain master = yes domain logons = no os level = 66 preferred master = yes load printers = yes printing = cups #============================ Share Definitions ============================== [homes] comment = Home Directories browseable = no read only = no case sensitive = no strict locking = no #msdf proxy = yes [DATA2] path = /Data2 #read only = no writeable = yes public = yes [DATA3] path = /Data3/ #read only = no writeable = yes valid users = anne gillian david The commented lines are ones that have been tried in both states, as 'read only' and 'writeable' seem to be preferable depending on which version of samba is being used. The security= line is no longer present (I gather from the advice I was given that the default is then 'user'). Home directories do not display. I am able to mount both my home and the main data directory from fstab. using a credentials file. Anne -------------- next part -------------- A non-text attachment was scrubbed...
