This is a working smb.conf in the way that all file sharing works , no users can edit anything but their home area + public.

What suddenly died on me, after upgrading to Debian testing, was printer sharing. I tried user = share , no good. Windows/Linux machines can find/see the printer, but Linux prints just never get printed, and Windows lists it as "no access,can't connect"

This is my smb.conf :

[global]
netbios name = KFP
server string = Samba Server
workgroup = ROED
security = user
log file = /var/log/samba/%m.log
socket options = TCP_NODELAY IPTOS_LOWDELAY SO_SNDBUF=8192 SO_RCVBUF=8192
browse list = Yes
printcap name = cups
printing = cups
load printers = Yes

[public]
path = /home/felles
comment = felles
guest ok = Yes
create mode = 0766
browseable = Yes
public = Yes
read only = No

[homes]

read only = No
valid users = %U root
browsable = No

[printers]
