[gpfsug-discuss] Supported samba options

[Paul Ward]

Thank you for all your help.

While doing some tests today I found I had access to read/write to folders that I shouldn't have as the user I was connected as.
I then discovered force user and force group had been set for that share and were working in 5.1.1.
Further tests confirmed this  when set by:
net conf setparm [share] "force user" "<user>" 

I'm now very curious what tests I did months ago, that failed!

As I understand it, these setting will be used and available via mmsmb in 5.1.3 upwards.

Kindest regards,
Paul

Yes, whatever is set will be kept. The settings will then also be visible in mmsmb. mmsmb is just a wrapper that accesses the same config as "net conf" internally in the background.
