Example 19.1:
A CD-ROM Share (deactivated)
;[cdrom]
; comment = Linux CD-ROM
; path = /media/cdrom
; locking = No
[cdrom] and comment
The [cdrom] section entry is the name of the share that can be seen by all
SMB clients on the network. An additional comment can be added to further
describe the share.
path = /media/cdrom
path exports the directory /media/cdrom.
By means of a very restrictive default conguration, this kind of share is only made
available to the users present on this system. If this share should be made available
to everybody, add a line guest ok = yes to the conguration. This setting
gives read permissions to anyone on the network. It is recommended to handle this
parameter with great care. This applies even more to the use of this parameter in
the [global] section.
[homes]
The [homes] share is of special importance here. If the user has a valid account
and password for the Linux le server and his own home directory, he can be
connected to it.
Example 19.2:
[homes] Share
[homes]
comment = Home Directories
valid users = %S
browseable = No
read only = No
create mask = 0640
directory mask = 0750
[homes]
As long as there is no other share using the share name of the user connecting
to the SMB server, a share is dynamically generated using the [homes] share
directives. The resulting name of the share is the username.
