LAB 23: Samba Share – Hidden Share
Login as t1 you will see the folder teacher
You want to hide this
vi /etc/samba/smbd.conf
Change this block
[teachers]
comment = Exchange information for teachers
path = /data/teachers
public = no
valid users = +teachers
writable = yes
browseable = no
:x
service smb restart
On DC2012, access \\DNSSRV as st1, you will not be able to see the teacher share.
As a teacher, you need to enter \\DNSSRV\teachers to access it.
Similarly, I want t1 to have full access to update software folder.
Software: Everyone Read, t1 Full
vi /etc/samba/smbd.conf
[software]
comment: Software for us to use
path = /data/software
public = yes (everyone can read)
; writable =yes (erase this line)
read only = yes (add this line)
write list = t1
:x
service smb restart
ll
chown t1 /data/software/
chmod 775 –R /data/software => so that t1 can modify/rename existing directories)
On DC2012
Clear cache entry:
net use * /del /y
Access \\DNSSRV as t1
Open Software and create a few sub-directories for testing.
Log back in as t2 and do the same as above, you will see that t2 receives an access denied message when attempting to write to the folder.
