restricting samba to internal ip addresses...

[fenris]

How do you restrict samba so that it will only look at requests comming from internal sources (192.168.0.0/24) via the nic that is directly connected to them?

Look at the variables available, you can put them into the configuration file, they are designated by a percent (%) sign and either uppercase or lowercase letters (%I, %a, etc..) you can use %I to designate the IP address for the share it's configuring, for example:

[pub]

path = /home/user/%a

The %a designates system architecture (Win95, MAC, WinNT, etc..)

The Samba manual Using Sambacan be downloaded from

it is in HTML and PDF format. Discussion of variables is in Chapter 4 of the PDF version.

Thanks Jon I appreciate it. On a side note I had just downloaded a copy of the book yesterday and hopefully I will be able to get around to reading it on the weekend.

Thanks.....
