Configuring and Managing MPE/iX Internet Services (MPE/iX 6.0)

98 Chapter 7
Samba/iX Services
Samba/iX Configuration File Options
Example: allow hosts = 192.1.2.3
Default: none
valid users Default: none
invalid users If neither of these parameters are set, then any
authenticated user will be granted access to the service.
The valid users parameter may contain a
comma-delimited list of users who will be allowed to
access the service. The invalid users parameter may
contain a similar comma-delimited list of users who
will never be granted access to the service. These
parameters use MPE style user syntax (for example,
user.acct) to specify users. The password format
used when you log on from a PC client should be
userpassword, acctpassword.
Example: valid users = mgr.samba
Default: none
guest account The shares can be configured to accept connections
without a validated user ID and password, then you
can use the “guest account” parameter to assume the
guest logon identify for accessing files and printers.
Example: guest account = mgr.samba
Default: none
revalidate Forces the revalidation of password. When Samba/iX
successfully validates a clients password, it passes a
token back to client. This is used by the client to
connect to other shares. If revalidate=true, then
Samba/iX expects a valid username and password pair
again without just relying on the token. For example,
after connecting to “temp”, if the client tries to connect
to another share, Samba/iX revalidates the password.
Example: revalidate = yes
Default: no
Share Configuration Options

configuration file.
Setting the Shared Directory

shared directory.
