Samba/iX Services

Samba/iX Conﬁguration File Options

Controlling Read/Write Access

guest ok If guest ok is true, then guest access will be allowed.

The access rights of a client connecting as guest will be

those of the username set in the “guest account.”

Example: guest ok = yes

Default: guest ok = no

guest only If guest only is true, then access of service/share is only

granted with the rights of usernames given in the

“guest account” parameter.

Example: guest only = yes

Default: guest only = no

create mode The “create mode” is used to deﬁne the permission used

by share services. This option sets an octal value

representing the ﬁle permissions available to a ﬁle

created by Samba/iX.

Example: create mode = 0744

The value of 0744 causes the group and other write and

execute bit to be removed from a ﬁle created by Samba.

read only Example: read only = yes

Default: read only = yes

write ok The read only = yes is identical to write ok = no.If

write ok is true, clients will be granted read/write

access to a share. The same effect can be achieved by

setting read only to false.

Example: write ok = no

Default: write ok = no

Sample Conﬁguration File — samp-smb.conf

When you want to use Samba/iX, you should copy the Samba/iX sample

conﬁguration ﬁle to /usr/local/samba/lib/smb.conf and adjust this

ﬁle as needed. The sample conﬁguration ﬁle samp-smb.conf resides in

the /usr/local/samba/lib directory. Please refer to Appendix A ,

“Samba/iX Sample Comﬁguration File.”
