-Subject:	A collection of hints
-Status:		May be useful information but NOT current
-===============================================================================
-
-Here are some random hints that you may find useful. These really
-should be incorporated in the main docs someday.
-
-
-----------------------
-HINT: Always test your smb.conf with testparm before using it
-
-If your smb.conf file is invalid then samba will fail to load. Run
-testparm over it before you install it just to make sure there aren't
-any basic syntax or logical errors.
-
-
-----------------------
-HINT: Try printing with smbclient first
-
-If you have problems printing, test with smbclient first. Just connect using 
-"smbclient '\\server\printer' -P" and use the "print" command.
-
-Once this works, you know that Samba is setup correctly for printing,
-and you should be able to get it to work from your PCs.
-
-This particularly helps in getting the "print command" right.
-
-
-----------------------
-HINT: Mount cdroms with conv=binary
-
-Some OSes (notably Linux) default to auto detection of file type on
-cdroms and do cr/lf translation. This is a very bad idea when use with
-Samba. It causes all sorts of stuff ups.
-
-To overcome this problem use conv=binary when mounting the cdrom
-before exporting it with Samba.
-
-
-----------------------
-HINT: Convert between unix and dos text formats
-
-Jim barry has written an excellent drag-and-drop cr/lf converter for
-windows. Just drag your file onto the icon and it converts the file.
-
-Get it from
-ftp://samba.org/pub/samba/contributed/fixcrlf.zip
-
-The utilities unix2dos and dos2unix(in the mtools package) should do 
-the job under unix.
-
----------------------- 
-HINT: Use the "username map" option
-
-If the usernames used on your PCs don't match those used on the unix
-server then you will find the "username map" option useful.
-
------------------------
-HINT: Use "security = user" in [global]
-
-If you have the same usernames on the unix box and the PCs or have
-mapped them with the "username map" option then choose "security =
-user" in the [global] section of smb.conf.
-
-This will mean your password is checked only when you first connect,
-and subsequent connections to printers, disks etc will go more
-smoothly and much faster.
-
-The main problem with "security = user" if you use WfWg is that you
-will ONLY be able to connect as the username that you log into WfWg
-with. This is because WfWg silently ignores the password field in the
-connect drive dialog box if the server is in user security mode.
-
-------------------------
-HINT: Make your printers not "guest ok"
-
-If your printers are not "guest ok" and you are using "security =
-user" and have matching unix and PC usernames then you will attach to
-the printer without trouble as your own username. This will mean you
-will be able to delete print jobs (in 1.8.06 and above) and printer
-accounting will be possible.
-
-
------------------------
-HINT: Use a sensible "guest" account
-
-Even if all your services are not available to "guest" you will need a
-guest account. This is because the browsing is done as guest. In many
-cases setting "guest account = ftp" will do the trick. Using the
-default guest account or "guest account = nobody" will give problems on
-many unixes. If in doubt create another account with minimal
-privilages and use it instead. Your users don't need to know the
-password of the guest account.
-
-
-----------------------
-HINT: Using MS Access
-
-Here are some notes on running MS-Access on a Samba drive from Stefan 
-Kjellberg <stefank@esi.com.au>
-
-1. Opening a database in 'exclusive' mode does NOT work. Samba ignores
-   r/w/share modes on file open.
-
-2. Make sure that you open the database as 'shared' and to 'lock modified
-   records'
-
-3. Of course locking must be enabled for the particular share (smb.conf)

-Subject:	SETTING UNIX FILE SYSTEM SECURITY
-===============================================================================
-The following excerpt from a bug report demonstrates the need to
-understand Unix file system security and to manage it correctly.
-
-Quote:
-======
-> We are unable to keep individual users from mapping to any other user's
-> home directory once they have supplied a valid password! They only need
-> to enter their own password. I have not found *any* method that I can
-> use to configure samba to enforce that only a user may map their own
-> home directory.
-> 
-> User xyzzy can map his home directory. Once mapped user xyzzy can also map
-> *anyone* elses home directory!
-
-ANSWER:
-=======
-This is not a security flaw, it is by design. Samba allows
-users to have *exactly* the same access to the UNIX filesystem
-as they would if they were logged onto the UNIX box, except
-that it only allows such views onto the file system as are
-allowed by the defined shares.
-
-This means that if your UNIX home directories are set up
-such that one user can happily cd into another users
-directory and do an ls, the UNIX security solution is to 
-change the UNIX file permissions on the users home directories
-such that the cd and ls would be denied.
-
-Samba tries very hard not to second guess the UNIX administrators
-security policies, and trusts the UNIX admin to set
-the policies and permissions he or she desires.
-
-Samba does allow the setup you require when you have set the
-"only user = yes" option on the share, is that you have not set the
-valid users list for the share.
-
-Note that only user works in conjunction with the users= list,
-so to get the behavior you require, add the line :
-
-users = %S
-
-this is equivalent to:
-
-valid users = %S
-
-to the definition of the [homes] share, as recommended in
-the smb.conf man page.
