Accessibility from network

[Hammer]

Hi again.

It seems anyone on the network can just type in \\bubba to go there.
If I do that from a Vista computer I however get a login prompt.

I want everyone who tries to reach bubba to get the login, how to solve?

Hi
I don't get the question?

Default the samba configuration is with a login.
So anyone going to the \\bubba gets a login screen.

Yes, that would've been preferable. But that is not how it works. Everyone in our house can access the \\bubba but me on the Vista 64 pc.

Strange?

[Eek]

yes they can probably go to \\bubba
but not to \\bubba\home without logging in.
\\bubba is just the windows representation,
that does not mean you have accessed the bubba.
Microsoft did change a lot of security in Vista 64-bit.
In samba you can set the open or close the shares anyway you want.

Ok, so how do I set \\bubba\storage so that none other than logged on people can access it?

Cheers,

change the smb.conf file

Code: Select all

vi /etc/samba/smb.conf

the file is pretty self explanatory
probably set the following in the [storage] section

public = no
guest ok = no

check http://us3.samba.org/samba/docs/man/Sam ... ollection/ for more info

Hello Eek,

I tried:http://bubba/admin/local/samba/lib/smb.conf
but it saids page not found error.

sorry if my question sounds stupid, I'm an new bee to linux.
Thanks,

Hi,

In the manual for Bubba|Two, read the section about SSH in chapter "CUSTOMIZING BUBBA - SW & HW" on how to get shell access to Bubba.

A useful editor to change the file is "nano". In order to change the file you need to change to the "root" user.

A short howto on using ssh and changing configuration files can be found here:
