clearos5.1 migration, cont

problem: continuing migration

what im not doing: worrying

although the web interface allows the sharing of users homes, it doesnt allow for a public shared folder as clarkconnect4.2 did... as i was used to this i copied the relevant section of the old smb.conf (/etc/samba/smb.conf) and appended it to the new servers config file. this also features a wee addendum for sharing the servers dvd drive as the small form factor client machines in the office are cd-rom only.

[shared]

comment = Public shared folder

path = /home/shared

browseable = yes

guest only = yes

writeable = yes

public = yes

[dvd]

comment = DVD

path = /mnt/hdd

writeable = no

locking = no

then the usual

service smb restart

at the moment im still having to manually mount dvds after insertion, but will get around to autofs or similar.
