Security Setup and File Permissions in Amahi
Posted: Tue Jun 09, 2009 10:08 am
Amahi is finally installed (wa-hoo, but installing Fedora was a major problem that took over two weeks and a new computer to solve. Ah well, onward).
I can access the shares from my Vista client, create new shares, and map drives -- so far so good. However I want a private directory that the rest of the house can't access. I might also want to create sub-directories with read only access. There doesn't appear to be a way to control access to the setup panel, so it looks like anyone in the house could change permissions there.
I tried using the permissions on the Amahi share with Vista and that seemed to lock the share down. However, it appears possible to override the permissions on the setup panel. I also discovered that a random user was able to access setup and delete my share. YIKES!
I couldn't find any docs on how to control file access and setup looks wide open. How do I set up file permissions and/or lock down the setup panel?
