So when you say, create a new share that is a new username and a password is that correct?And I will have to put this new username as the "force user". Also is there anything that I need to do on my Windows machine?
Thanks again!
You don't want a new username and password. It has to be your local login username. The username you use to login to the box that has the external drive attached to it.
Again following the original tutorial, you should have two shares in smb.conf. The original one:
Code:
[MyFiles]
path = /media/samba/
browseable = yes
read only = no
guest ok = no
create mask = 0644
directory mask = 0755
force user = YOUR_USERNAME
force group = YOUR_USERGROUP
And the new one:
Code:
[MyFiles2]
path = /media/MyBook/
browseable = yes
read only = no
guest ok = no
create mask = 0644
directory mask = 0755
force user = YOUR_USERNAME
force group = YOUR_USERGROUP
