Im newbie… Im already search the internet but can’t find Samba tutorial for opensuse 11 :’(:’(
There is not much information in what you say, so I will guess what you are asking. If the explanation below is not what you are looking for, then explain what you want in many more words:
openSUSE 11 has a series of default shares. They are outlined here:
Samba and Suse: HowTo Set up an openSUSE-Windows Home Office LAN/Network. Versions 10, 11
If you want to have a user named billybob able to access the default shares then make billybob a Linux user on the machine and add billybob to the Samba user database as outlined on the link.
Hope that helps.
Here’s a samba tutorial for suse
Samba Server and Suse: HowTo Configure Shares on an openSUSE File Server on a SOHO LAN
Swerdna is brilliant on the subject of samba and very active on this forum, so it’s fairly safe to accept any articles he’s written on the subject to be probably as good as any you’ll find
It looks to me though as if you’re trying to limit access to samba from a specific computer whereas the setting you’re using is for a user comp1 rather than a machine
Not sure if you’re aware of this but the usual way to add a samba user is to run smbpasswd as root, like this
smbpasswd -a username
Do that in a console as root and it will then ask you to set and comfirm a password for the username you specified
Ah!
swerdna was already on the case as I was posting
