>16.1. Configuring Samba Share Access Controls</A
></H1
><P
>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 <SPAN
CLASS="emphasis"
><I
CLASS="EMPHASIS"
>Everyone</I
></SPAN
> Full Control (ie: Full control, Change and Read).</P
><P
>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.</P
><P
>Samba stores the per share access control settings in a file called <TT
CLASS="FILENAME"
>share_info.tdb</TT
>.
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 <TT
CLASS="FILENAME"
>/usr/local/samba/var</TT
>. If the <TT
CLASS="FILENAME"
>tdbdump</TT
>
utility has been compiled and installed on your system then you can examine the contents of this file
by: <KBD
CLASS="USERINPUT"
>tdbdump share_info.tdb</KBD

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
<SPAN

></SPAN
> Full Control on the Share.</P
><P
>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 <TT

	#
	# Perl script to generate user logon scripts on the fly, when users
	# connect from a Windows client.  This script should be called from smb.conf
	# with the %U, %G and %L parameters. I.e:
	#
	#       root preexec = genlogon.pl %U %G %L
	#
	# The script generated will perform
	# the following:
	#
	# 1. Log the user connection to /var/log/samba/netlogon.log
	# 2. Set the PC's time to the Linux server time (which is maintained
	#    daily to the National Institute of Standard's Atomic clock on the
	#    internet.
	# 3. Connect the user's home drive to H: (H for Home).
	# 4. Connect common drives that everyone uses.
	# 5. Connect group-specific drives for certain user groups.
	# 6. Connect user-specific drives for certain users.
	# 7. Connect network printers.
