How to setup Samba with two workgroups? How to setup Samba to follow symbolic links?
Problem: we have shares for each users. if I want to access it from Windows, I have to enter password. if I don't this on first access, windows won't ask my anymore to enter password and just denies access. How can I force windows, to reenter password for share ???
If your samba password doesn't work then run this on core to update your samba password:
sudo smbpasswd pluto_USER
where USER is your username. For instance to change john's password run sudo smbpasswd pluto_john
Adding fileserver on the external network
The external network does not get scanned for Samba servers. You can easily add a new server by going into the web admin
- Click Show Device Tree
- Click CORE
- On the right hand side, click Create Child Device
- Click Pick Device Template
- In the popup select File Server from the drop down box, it should be ID 1837
- Now, it is important to fill out 2 fields
