Restrictions on the share itself -can be set on MS Windows NT4/200x/XP shares. This can be a very effective way to limit who can -connect to a share. In the absence of specific restrictions the default setting is to allow -the global user <emphasis>Everyone</emphasis> Full Control (ie: Full control, Change and Read). -</para> - -<para> -At this time Samba does NOT provide a tool for configuring access control setting on the Share -itself. Samba does have the capacity to store and act on access control settings, but the only -way to create those settings is to use either the NT4 Server Manager or the Windows 200x MMC for -Computer Management. -</para> - -<para> -Samba stores the per share access control settings in a file called <filename>share_info.tdb</filename>. -The location of this file on your system will depend on how samba was compiled. The default location -for samba's tdb files is under <filename>/usr/local/samba/var</filename>. If the <filename>tdbdump</filename> -utility has been compiled and installed on your system then you can examine the contents of this file -by: <userinput>tdbdump share_info.tdb</userinput>. -</para> - -<sect2> -<title>Share Permissions Management</title> - -<para> -The best tool for the task is platform dependant.

The default Windows NT4/200x permission allows -<emphasis>Everyone</emphasis> Full Control on the Share. -</para> - -<para> -MS Windows 200x and later all comes with a tool called the 'Computer Management' snap-in for the -Microsoft Management Console (MMC).

If you take away all permissions from the Everyone user without removing this user -then effectively no user will be able to access the share.
