Hi
Here is my smb.conf that I use to accomplish your goal #2:
[global]
netbios name = server
workgroup = GOEDEHOOP10
security = user
log file = /var/log/samba.log
log level = 1
socket options = TCP_NODELAY IPTOS_LOWDELAY SO_RCVBUF=16384 SO_SNDBUF=16384
wins support = yes
domain logons = no
logon drive = f:
logon home = \\server\%U
os level = 99
preferred master = yes
local master = yes
hosts allow = 196.254.255.10 196.254.255.20 196.254.255.30 196.254.255.40 196.254.255.50 127.0.0.1 196.254.255.60 196.254.255.70 196.254.255.80

create mode = 0666
directory mode = 0777
browseable = yes

valid users = yzelle jeremy stefan jean
[JEAN_DEVEL_YIELD] #Only Jean has access to this share, nobody else
path = /usr/local/apache2/htdocs/php/yield_jean

valid users = jean
To create all the users referred to above, you need to create a normal Linux user using
useradd username
and (guessing here - this worked for me) create a password for that Linux user which EXACTLY matches the Samba password you are going to assign to that user in the next step below:
passwd username
After creating a new user and setting his password, create the -Samba- user entry for this user:
smbpasswd -a username
The user is now created. Setup his password:
smbpassword username
Password:
Confirm Password:
The user is now created in Samba and is ready for use. Restart smbd and nmbd with your new smb.conf. Go to a remote machine and if, for example, it is on XP, go to Network Neighbourhood. You should see the new share listed under the Linux machine. If you click on this share it will ask for a username and password. Type the username you created above, and the password you created using smbpasswd.
Of course, to make a user able to only read from "his" share for example, change the share definition and remove the "read list=" line. This is a guess though, I've never personally nedeed to do this, but it should work.
Only the user who knows "his" username on his share and his password for that share will now be able to access that share.
If the remote system is NOT XP, try this in most Linuces to get access:
1. Create a mount point for the remote, password-protected share:
mkdir /mnt/sambashare
2. Connect to it:
sharename mountpoint
smbmount "//server/stefan_devel_akl" /mnt/polarserver_akl -o
these give full read / write access
username="stefan",password="stefan1",uid=rylan,dmask=0775,fmask=0775
3. And disconnect
smbumount /mnt/sambashare
Hops this helps!
Regards,
