Now I know I can setup users and give them rights to only certain shares but they can still go thru the individual disks and get to the data, is there anyway to block rights that way as well??

 

Thanks,

One simple solution, do not export the "disk" shares at all on the LAN.  Everyone is then blocked.

 

A lot more complicated, but very possible: Edit the /etc/samba/smb.shares configuration file to define any security, adding "valid users = xxxx" "invalid users = yyyy" as you wish on the disk shares. It is, after all, samba doing the security.

Then issue the command to ask samba to re-read the config file:

smbcontrol smbd reload-config

 

Of course, every time you reboot, or change the share security via the unraid web-interface you will need to re-do the editing

A script can do that on reboot if appended to the "config/go" command script,  but there is no "trigger" when the file is changed via the management interface, so you will need to do that by hand.

 

You might want to add a feature request to the "Feature Request" forum to request "security" settings on disk shares in the unraid management utility when "user-security" is enabled.

You know what...it really makes me mad when something is SO OBVIOUS but I don't see it 

 

 

Thanks Joe!!!!

Ok sorry but one more question. I know you can have it prompt for a password at the web console to block access...but for the life of me I can not find how.

 

 

Can you help??

Add a password for the user "root"

Once again......DUHHHHH.

 

 

Thanks!!!
