Slight Problem Im Running Red Hat 8.0, with samba, i got a problem with a couple of windows machines connecting to some shares they read write fine but im tryin to set permissions up because i dont want both machines accessing shares,

How do i set it up so only one of the windows machines can access certain share????

You can add a "allow hosts" setting for each share. See smb.conf(5) for more information, since it's pretty dynamic.

The Problem is that i have 2 shares on linux one called
/tmp and another called /public the problem is, i want the windows machine to access /public but not /tmp, but it allows me to access both i dont understand why

When Accessing /tmp i want it to say no you cant get in there???

Add a "hosts deny = windows1" to the /tmp share. (Where windows1 is, of course, the name of the windows computer you want to deny access to)

genlee

valid users = <users>
You can list what users you want to access the share with that command.

Yeah, that would be my preferred solution, too, but it didn't seem to be what he wanted to do.
