AFAIK, you just have to set up smbpasswd for the users, they don't need a system account to access shares. If you want to give them home directories by default (as in $HOME) then they need a linux account. Set up Samba for share-level access, rather than user-level. -----Original Message----- From: Sam Carleton [SMTP:activex1@one.net] Sent: Thursday, January 06, 2000 4:14 PM To: SuSE Subject: Re: [SLE] accounts ONLY for smb Jon Pennington wrote:

Most important, I want all the NT accounts to ONLY have smb access, I don't want any of them to be able to log into the Linux box from the console, telnet, or any other means other then smb. Is there a way I can do that?

Just a thought from an earlier post. . .couldn't you just remove the shell entry from the passwd file or point it to somthing harmless like /dev/null so that they have valid passwords but can't get a shell?
IIRC, it's /bin/false; or maybe it was just false...
Does this also deny things like FTP and other services? The ONLY thing I
want to
work is Samba. The box is a firewall!

share-level as Paul suggested would work, but there is also an smbpasswd file that i believe can be made for SMB only users. luckily, there's only about 66,666 pages of samba docs, so it shoudlnt be hard to find how to set this up..:) -- ======================================================================== Rocky McGaugh Atipa Linux Solutions Linux Systems Engineer www.atipa.com rocky@smluc.org rmcgaugh@atipa.com ======================================================================== On Thu, 6 Jan 2000, Paul Sims wrote:

Yeah.. You do still need accounts.. Probobly less accounts, but samba still needs a basic set of permissions (given by the user) for accessing the share. I don't belive that share changes this, it just forces a specific account rather than letting the use provide the account name. Cya Matthew Matthew King: Sys Admin, Quakers Hill High School.
