Security Levels
To improve security, each share access can be protected with a password. SMB has
three possible ways of checking the permissions:
Share Level Security (security = share)
A password is firmly assigned to a share. Everyone who knows this password has
access to that share.
User Level Security (security = user)
This variation introduces the concept of the user to SMB. Each user must register
with the server with his own password. After registration, the server can grant access
to individual exported shares dependent on usernames.
Server Level Security (security = server):
To its clients, Samba pretends to be working in user level mode. However, it
passes all password queries to another user level mode server, which takes care of
authentication. This setting expects an additional parameter (password server).
The selection of share, user, or server level security applies to the entire server. It is
not possible to offer individual shares of a server configuration with share level security
and others with user level security. However, you can run a separate Samba server for
each configured IP address on a system.
More information about this subject can be found in the Samba HOWTO Collection.
For multiple servers on one system, pay attention to the options interfaces and
bind interfaces only.
