[Solved] Shares (backdoor access?)

[brononius]

Hey,

I've got some users configured in linuxmce.
When somebody access now the server from a windows 7 client, he sees following in the network neighbour:

• User1
• User2
• Public
• Home

When he's user1, he has access to User1 and Public, but not to User2. Nice, like it should be.
But he can open Home, and open in there User2. So not nice...

Any idea what i'm doing wrong?


Thanks!

As far as I know, User1 will have read rights on User2's folder. But wont be able to delete or write to it???

I might be wrong.....

Won't it be more logical if user folders are for users, and public folders for everyone? 

[DragonK]

Yes it would be...... I will check mine when I get home...

it looks like it is because we are forcing the user to "root" for the /home share. i am not sure that we should be doing this, we will need to discuss.

For the moment, i've solved this by changing /etc/samba/smb.conf from:

Code: [Select]

[home]
        browsable = yes
to

Code: [Select]

[home]
        browsable = no
And a quick reload of the samba server (sudo /etc/init.d/samba restart) solved my problem.
I just hope that nothing else will encounter issues now...

If you want to keep the setting (i.e. the invisiblity), change /usr/pluto/templates/smb* as well.
