Hi,
i have just set up my server, and its exports samba to my sisters windows pc, aswel as my xbox.

I was just wondering if there is a way not to get samba to export a specific share to a specific network address.

Being in that i don't want my sister to have access to all my files, as some are shared rw so i can write, i just dont want her writing to them, or accessing them.

I have thought about password protecting the share, i just cant be bothered entering a password on my pc and xbox each time, as it can by frustrating with an xbox pad.

So, is there a way to get samba not exporting a share to a specific network address,

Thank you

Ryan

ps sorry if this is in the wrong forum, i got confused if it should be here or networking

The smb.conf file has it's own man page: man 5 smb.conf.

From your description, adding your sister's username to the share definitions "read list" entry will allow her to read but not write to that share.
