Hi all,

I have a running install of Redhat 8 that is about to be upgraded. There is a complex Samba share with users set up my someone else and I am new to Samba. I have a couple of questions.

2. Does every user with acces to the Samba share have to have an account on the machine proper or can this be accomplished within Samba?

You can have a Samba account without a Linux account, but it takes extra work. You have to define the user/group to use with the share(s) you give access to that do not have a local account. (I believe you can also use network authorization, but I have never used it.)

You can also map one or more Samba users to a Linux user using the smbusers file.
