+This section attempts to document peripheral issues that are of great importance to network
+administrators who want to improve network resource access control, to automate the user
+environment, and to make their lives a little easier.

-<title>Remote Server Administration</title>
+<title>Configuring Samba Share Access Controls</title>
+
+<para>
+This section deals with how to configure Samba per share access control restrictions.
+By default samba sets no restrictions on the share itself. 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: <filename>tdbdump share_info.tdb</filename>.

-Since I don't need to buy an NT Server CD now, how do I get the 'User Manager for Domains',
+On MS Windows NT4/200x/XP system access control lists on the share itself are set using native
+tools, usually from filemanager. For example, in Windows 200x: right click on the shared folder,
+then select 'Sharing', then click on 'Permissions'. The default Windows NT4/200x permission allows
+<emphasis>Everyone</emphasis> Full Control on the Share.

+
+<para>
+MS Windows 200x and later all comes with a tool called the 'Computer Management' snap-in for the
+Microsoft Management Console (MMC). This tool is located by clicking on <filename>Control Panel ->
+Administrative Tools -> Computer Management</filename>.
+</para>
+
+<para>
+Instructions:
+</para>
+ <para>
+ After launching the MMC with the Computer Management snap-in, click on the menu item 'Action',
+ select 'Connect to another computer'. If you are not logged onto a domain you will be prompted
+ to enter a domain login user identifier and a password. This will authenticate you to the domain.
+ If you where already logged in with administrative privilidge this step is not offered.
+ </para>
+

+ If the Samba server is not shown in the Select Computer box, then type in the name of the target
+ Samba server in the field 'Name:'. Now click on the [+] next to 'System Tools', then on the [+]
+ next to 'Shared Folders' in the left panel.
+ </para>
+
+ <para>
+ Now in the right panel, double-click on the share you wish to set access control permissions on.
+ Then click on the tab 'Share Permissions'. It is now possible to add access control entities
+ to the shared folder. Do NOT forget to set what type of access (full control, change, read) you
+ wish to assign for each entry.
+ </para>
+
+ <note>
+ <para>
+ Be careful. 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. This is a result of what is known as
+ ACL precidence. ie: Everyone with NO ACCESS means that MaryK who is part of the group Everyone
+ will have no access even if this user is given explicit full control access.
