My notes on this are a bit of a mess because of the sheer amount of configuration tests and trials that were made, No idea if some of it or all of it is required at this time and have steps for adding username and password as well. Samba implements byte-range locks on the server side with normal Unix advisory locks and will consequently prevent other properly-behaved Unix processes from overwriting a locked byte range.
No reason unless you need to. For systems which will use NFS to share files, one can administer user accounts to make creation, editing and ownership of files seamless and consistent.
An equivalent way to represent a directory on a network machine is by using two backslashes, followed by the name of the networked machine, another backslash, and the networked directory of the machine, as shown below: Autonomous systems are often eventually linked together to share files using NFS at a later date and have synchronization problems.
As explained earlier, Samba can help Windows and Unix machines coexist in the same network. To disable it, use the following command: If you have any applications that support multiuser functionality on a network, you can install those programs on the network drive.
For systems which will use NFS to share files, one can administer user accounts to make creation, editing and ownership of files seamless and consistent. One may turn off the SELinux features by setting: Here is how it works: By default the useradd command will increment by one for each new ID.
This will allow files generated on the file server to match ownership of those generated on the client system. Might be needed to configure via here. In fact, Figure 1. The fine-grained access control architecture is supported in the Linux kernel.
Once the smb service has started successfully, we can confirm that it is correctly listening on TCP ports and The connection should fail as the IP address of the client is no longer allowed in, confirming that our configuration is only allowing specific clients in.
This option is deprecated now that real oplocks are available on Samba.
Plus, no want to narrow it down: This is typically not needed if a client adheres to all the locking mechanisms in place. Large organizations need to think ahead when creating a new user.
If this option was enabled, all clients were told that the file is available for opportunistic locking, and never warned of simultaneous access.
The option is set to yes by default; however, you can turn this option off if you have read-only media. This section provides an overview of status codes that can be returned by the SMB commands listed in this document, including mappings between the NTSTATUS codes used in the NT LAN Manager dialect, the SMBSTATUS class/code pairs used in earlier SMB.
Yes sorry, I guess I am a bit confused about the difference between the two. According to my Samba book - "Share (deny) modes are used by clients to gain exclusive read or write access to a file", which sounds very similar to the idea of a lock and seems the right mechanism to achieve my desired result.
What I don't understand is why the SMBFS and CIFS kernel modules create a deny mode DENY. $ smbstatus -L Registered MSG_REQ_POOL_USAGE Registered MSG_REQ_DMALLOC_MARK and LOG_CHANGED Locked files: Pid Uid DenyMode Access R/W Oplock SharePath Name Time DENY_NONE 0x RDONLY NONE /respaldo/segeco_local.

I don’t mean to sound rude Martin, but it’s all explained in the blog post. When a user authenticates to the Samba server, a Samba user account is used, but the Samba user account is mapped to a Linux user account, and that user account needs access permissions.
Your dev2 user needs access permissions.
