I want to setup samba on Maverick. This is the case. I have 2 folders want to be shared, freeaccess and restrictedaccess. The freeaccess folder can be accessed by everyone on network. The restritedaccess folder can only be accessed with account named someone. What I want to ask is, how to setup samba that can solve that case...??
View 9 RepliesIs this possible? Can I use the free 3g service that is generally restricted to buying books and Wikipedia, and use it to browse the web and check my email?
View 3 Replies View Relateda friend of mine is doing a small website-project in school (group of ~6 people). They want to use git as VCS and need acces to a server. I have an account on the server from university, but - of course - no root access.
I could create private/public keys for them, to SSH into my account, but I don't want them to have this power I found 'git-shell', which seems to be used for restricted access with git (although I'm not sure whether I understood the functionality).
My question is: Is it possible to configure SSH keys in that way, that the server runs them (and only them) in git-shell in a specified directory (using ~/.ssh/{config,authorized_keys})?
So that they can
- log in with their SSH key
- use git, execute scripts etc.
- use git push/pull from their private+school PC
- work only in a specific directory (like chroot) eg. ~/web-project/

i set up samba and im trying to acces from windows xp. i can see the drive if i go to run and type the ip adress but when i click on the share i get an error that says "sharename" in this case "sam is not accessible" you might not have permission under this network resource. so how do i give myself permissions. I have followed several tutorials tried different types of set up , restart of samba and what not. but still nothing. I should mentioned that i have been at this for 3 days now and still cant get it to work. i have red hat linux 5.1 and window xp proffesional.

Anyone have any ideas? This is the first I've encountered this... not even to sure what to google.
I have currently have opensuse 11.2 installed. I am trying to setup samba shares which you can only access as certain user. Currently looks like the only way I can access these share is use root username/password!
I want to which GUI I need to use to setup this up properly. And of course what setting to exactly to use.
I've lasted a lot longer than usual before resorting to asking around, but I've finally gone delightfully mad. I've been trying to access shares based on Windows 7 Ultimate with limited user access on said shares. I've managed to get into my XP machine, another mate's Vista machine and various Linux boxes with no issues, but that's only for shares that are accessible by everyone. The moment I try to get into a share that requires user credentials, I get "Error returning browse list: NT_STATUS_ACCESS_DENIED".If I try to access restricted shares (be it machine or folder) through Nautilus, I will get a user logon prompt, but it fails. Using smbclient results in just as little success, and now I'm munching through O'Reiley's Samba manual from '99, after realising that I need to basically learn Samba in its entirety to have a hope in hell at getting this to work. The trouble is though, every HOWTO and relevant forum post I get my hands on all seem to concentrate more on the server side of things, and usually servering from a linux box, not the other way around as I'm trying to.
The above Windows 7 machine won't even allow me to view its share contents, whereas the XP machine previously will allow me to browse, but won't allow me to access folders with restricted access. I'm pretty sure there aren't any major issues with the way the Windows 7 machine is setup, as it can be accessed with logon from my Xbox, Ubuntu machine, XP and Vista, with only Fedora having problems getting in as it constantly fails logon. What I'm trying to establish is, if Ubuntu can get in, is there something in my Fedora samba config I'm missing that's preventing me access? My thanks in advance to those of you who've been able to put up with me rambling.
I've been running a Samba server under RedHat 8 for five years without a hiccup. I want to cut over to a F10 box but cannot get shares accessible. smbclient attempts fail over NT password error. SELinux is disabled. Server is visible on the network. Users require no password access to shared data.
smb.conf follows:

I'm trying to lock down SSH for a particular user who wants to use my server for some development, so I'm making him a little play area.
Problem is I'm having difficulties locking the account down.
I've implemented bashrc which appears to be what I wanted at first, restricting the user to a user directory of my choice, but I now find that firstly the user can't use cd at all, not even cd to directories within the users home directory.
But also I've found bashrc to be pretty pointless security wise because I can just type sh and then do what ever the hell I want? Such as cd / and then ls and see everything on the server.
So I'm wondering if anyone has a solution to this for me?
I want the user to be able to make directories and cd into them in their own user area but not cd .. or / out of their user area.
I need to access a Linux box via SSH & Samba that is hidden/connected behind another one on its own local network.
Setup :-
Code:
A switch B C
|----| |---| |----| |----|
|eth0|<-->| |<-->|eth0| | |
|----| |---| |eth1|<-->|eth1|
|----| |----|
E.g., I need to SSH/Samba from A to C. How does one go about this? I was thinking that it cannot be done via IP alone? Or can it? Could B say "hi on eth0, if your looking for 192.168.0.2, its here on eth1"? Is this NAT? This is a large private network, so what about if another PC has that IP?! More likely it would be PAT?
A would say "hi 192.168.109.15:1234"
B would say "hi on eth0, traffic for port 1234 goes on here eth1"
How could that be done? And would the SSH/Samba demons see the correct packet header info and work??
IP info :-
Code:
A - eth0 - 192.168.109.2
B - eth0 - 192.168.109.15
- eth1 - 192.168.0.1
C - eth1 - 192.168.0.2
A, B & C are RHEL (RedHat)
But Windows computers can be connected to the switch. I configured the 192.168.0.* IPs, they are changeable. So I have read that this should be done via iptables? But what is the correct command line to do this? And where does one put permanent iptable config?
I'm trying to setup two samba shares on ubuntu server 10.04.1 lts x64
The first is a Read-Only share for windows users that doesn't require a password. This i've managed to do so far.
The second is a Password protected Upload share. So far I am able to have both shares (which access the same directory) but am unable to log in to the pass word protected share.
I know i'm not doing things quite right, and would like a little bit of help
The smb.conf file is the default ubuntu file with these added shares:
Code:
[NAS]
Comment = Network Attached Storage
path = /media/RAID/NAS
browseable = yes
[Code].....
I'd like to be able to limit access to a particular website, based on the time of day. I would also like to be able to password protect this if possible.So for instance, from 7am until 10pm daily, I can access URL... but after 10pm it redirects to 127.0.0.1 or something. And this configuration be protected by only allowing a certain user (other than root) to change the config?

View 2 Replies View RelatedI want to configure a remote internet facing server as git server. I would like to restrict access to the server to a few systems (access is restricted to select computers, not users). I first thought of using ssh key, but the key can be copied to another system hence that alone is not sufficient. I am having a dynamic IP, so simple IP based firewall blocking is also not possible. I was thinking about the possibility of using both SSH Key and IP based access. Is it possible to update the firewall rule whenever my ip gets changed?
View 6 Replies View RelatedIve managed to install samba, I've shared a folder. I can access from a Windows 7 machine via \ubuntupublic. I can put files in the folder form the ubuntu machine and edit them on the windows box. I can put files in the folder/share from the Windows box but then I cannot edit them on the Ubuntu machine (they are read only and have a "Lock" over them). I can fix this by going to the properties of the file/folder in Windows and manually assigning "Everybody" full control (then the lock disappears and all is well.) I want read/write access to all the folders contents from both machines all the time (security is NOT a concern I WANT the permissions wide open) what am I doing wrong?

I'm having problems in accessing a storage device (NAS 200 Linksys) in a network via Ubuntu. I think the problem is with the configuration of Samba.
On my computer the login and password are the same in Ubuntu (9.04), samba and Win XP.
Under windows I view the device in the network and, when I click on its icon, a window opens with the directories that have access.
Under Ubuntu, I can see all the computers in my workgroup and the device. However when I click on its icon only a blank window is opened.
I share printers without problems.
In my settings for the samba security = user.
Does anyone know if there is any configuration that allows access to the NAS?
I installed samba (in Ubuntu 9.10) and I can access shared files in Ubuntu from Windows 7 but when I try to access W7 files from ubuntu: Places>Network, it prompts me Username,Domain, Password.

View 4 Replies View RelatedThe goal is the following: I want one samba network share with all my family data. Multiple users should have access to this share from Win7 pcs but not all folders should be access able by everyone. The old windows server managed this by changing ntfs rights for these folders.
I've installed Samba and this recommended gnome utility (Ubuntu 10.4). First for testing I made a samba share with access right for everyone. Everything fine on Win... Then I only allowed for my user. Also worked after a little bit of playing with the global samba settings and the pw encryption... Then I created a new ubuntu user and configured a new samba user with the connection to this ubuntu user (like described in many tutorials using the samba config tool). I changed the access right of the samba share to allow the new user also but no connection was possible. At this point the original user was working from the same pc without any problem.
I started thinking of the windows time and decided to search for the file system rights like it was with the ntfs. I'm using ext4 by the way. I made chmod 777 -R from the new users login... (i'm not sure why there is no user dependency for chmod) I used chown -R but it seems that there is only one owner allowed so I switched back to my main user... I installed an additional feature called ACL and was able to set users and groups for the root folder but there is no possibility to recursively change all subdirs. I used such a ACL gui extension for gnome which is in the ubuntu repository to do that. It also wasn't helping for the problem that the new user has no access to the folder (even if I change the rights manually)
User A & B have access rights at least for the root of the share. Both users have a ubuntu and a samba account. Only user A is working with samba.
I have one PC (morpheus) on which I've chosen to share a couple of folders in the home directory. The folders show the "Shared" icon in them and are chmod 777'd. I can access them by going to Dolphin -> Network -> Samba Shares -> Workgroup -> Morpheus -> Foldername ... but *only* on that same computer (Morheus). All my computers are running Kubuntu with KDE 4.5 and attached by ethernet.
If I try and go to Dolphin -> Network -> Samba Shares on *any* other computer, Dolphin just reports "Unable to find any workgroups in your local network. This might be cause by an enabled firewall." I've never set up a firewall on any of these computers. Do I need to open ports on my router just for this? Morpheus is set to DMZ mode on the router so it should accept *any* port request not assigned to another computer already.
I have a feeling that there's just something obvious I don't know, because in all my years of trying to get this to work on and off, I've never managed to find a decent *simple* CLI or GUI based tutorial or figure it out myself. The web just seems full of long threads of people having very specific problems unique to their situation trying to sort them out. I just want to share folders over a lan via KDE.
I have a samba-share that mounts on my desktop. But how do I find it from applications?
When I browse from application is not visible in the desktop folder.
