Hi, I don't know whether this is the appropriate list to ask but since my install is on FreeBSD, I thought I'd try. I've got a FreeBSD server 5.4 running samba 3.x. I then have 3 Windows XP Pro Stand Alone PCs. I'd like to use the samba server as a simple file share/network drive server. I would not like to run it as a domain controllers. I'm therefore going to use a simple workgroup. The samba server would have multiple shares and, ideally, each share will have read and/or write access according to the PC/user accessing it. Is there any way of doing this in a simple manner? Ideally I'l like to avoid users having to explicitely authenticate each time they need to access a shared drive. I originally thought of assigning permissions according to IP address (since xp pcs have static ips...this would have worked fine for me, but i can't find out if its possible). Please note that I'm not looking for bullet proof security. I simply want a way to implicitely assign a given user permissions to a share, without complex authentication. thanks, Joe
