Not unless you 've been mucking around in the /etc/samba/smb.conf it
won 't.
If you are using Red Hat 's samba packages and want simple peer-peer
Samba Shares, set the following:
workgroup = (your workgroup name)
netbios name = (your short hostname)
That last one is not in the default config file, just put it under
workgoup.
securuty = user (should be the default)
Uncomment the line:
username map = /etc/samba/smbusers
And create some Share definitions. By default, user home directories are
shared, but now browsable to other users.
'service smb restart ', then learn to love the smbadduser command:
]# smbadduser

1) Updates /etc/samba/smbpasswd
2) Updates /etc/samba/smbusers
3) Executes smbpasswd for each new user
smbadduser unixid:ntid unixid:ntid ...
Example: smbadduser zak:zakharoffm johns:smithj
-- ---- ---- ---- ---- ---- ---- ---- ---- ---- ---- -----
To add myself, for instance, I am 'ckloiber ' in Linux, and 'Chris ' on a
windows system, I would run:
# smbadduser ckloiber:Chris
Adding: ckloiber to /etc/samba/smbpasswd
Added user ckloiber.
Adding: {ckloiber = Chris} to /etc/samba/smbusers
-- ---- ---- ---- ---- ---- ---- ---- ---- ---- ---- -----
ENTER password for ckloiber
New SMB password: **********
Retype new SMB password: **********
Password changed for user ckloiber.
If you muck up the password, love the smbpasswd command.
When this is done, I would be able to connect to the Samba server as the
Windows user named Chris, using the password I created
