[cdrom] and comment
path = /media/cdrom
By means of a very restrictive default configuration, 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 configuration. 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 file server and his own home directory, he can be
connected to it.
Example 24.2 homes Share
[homes]
comment = Home Directories
valid users = %S
browseable = No
read only = No
create mask = 0640
directory mask = 0750
[homes]
valid users = %S
340 Administration Guide
The entry [cdrom] 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 exports the directory /media/cdrom.
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.
%S is replaced with the concrete name of the share as soon as a connection has
been successfully established. For a [homes] share, this is always the user-
name. As a consequence, access rights to a user's share are restricted exclusively
to that user.
