I have a linux file server at my home, and I would like for all but one share to have general user access. I don't want anybody to need a username and password unless they get into my backup/archive share. When I have share level security, I can't protect that folder. When I have user level security, just browsing the server requires username and password.
Is there some happy medium where I can pw protect just one folder.
Here's an example clip from the smb.conf for each type of share:
This would be the private share.
Code:
[Backup]
comment = Archive, don't touch!
path = /mnt/maxtor/backup
guest ok = no
writable = yes
printable = no
write list = root
This would be the public share.
Code:
[Linux]
comment = Linux distributions
path = /shared/linux
guest ok = yes
writable = yes
printable = no
I want all of my shares to show up when you browse the server, but only backup to require u/p to access.
