[SOLVED] hosts allow paramerters

sudhirmhrj · 11-24-2010, 09:24 PM

Hi all,

I was looking for a way to protect my samba server for limiting access to certain domains.

Can I use the parameter

hosts allow = example.com

or something like that or is there another way to do the job for domains

Thanks

Hi Sudhir,

Yes, you can use TCP Wrappers for this use.

You can write this in /etc/hosts.deny

Code:

smbd : .xyz.com
nmbd : .xyz.com

Here, I am denying access to xyz.com domain to use Samaba daemons, smbd and nmbd.

Try this, and get back if you face problems.

Is there a way to limit using in smb.conf

Yes, you can do it with the hosts allow parameter in smb.conf

For example, in the below scenario all IPs starting from 192.168. can reach your samba shares.

Code:

hosts allow = 192.168. 127.0.0.1

But, I DO NOT think below configuration is permitted.

Code:

hosts allow = .example.com

Why don't you try and post your results here. Also, you can check syntax of your smb.conf as below

Code:

testparm /etc/samba/smb.conf
