Computer Accounts

40.

Computer Accounts are used in Directory Services to uniquely identify computer systems participating in a network, and are even treated in the same manner as users in terms of security. Computer accounts may have passwords just as user accounts do, and are subject to authorization to network resources in the same manner as user accounts. For example, if a network user, with a valid account for a particular network attempts to authenticate with a network resource from a computer which does not have a valid computer account, depending upon policies enforced on the network, the user may be denied access to the resource if the computer the user is attempting authentication from is considered to be an unauthorized computer.

41.

A computer account may be added to the SAMBA password file, provided the name of the computer being added exists as a valid user account in the local password database first. The syntax for adding a computer or machine account to the SAMBA password file is to use the <application>smbpasswd</application> command from a terminal prompt as follows:

42.

sudo smbpasswd -a -m COMPUTER_NAME

43.

Be sure to replace the token COMPUTER_NAME in the example above with the actual name of the specific computer you wish to add a machine account for.

File Permissions define the explicit rights a computer or user has to a particular directory, file, or set of files. Such permissions may be defined by editing the <filename>/etc/samba/smb.conf</filename> file and specifying the explicit permissions of a defined file share. For example, if you have defined a SAMBA share called <emphasis role="italic">sourcedocs</emphasis> and wish to give <emphasis role="italic">read-only</emphasis> permissions to the group of users known as <emphasis role="italic">planning</emphasis>, but wanted to allow writing to the share by the group called <emphasis role="italic">authors</emphasis> and the user named <emphasis role="italic">richard</emphasis>, then you could edit the <filename>/etc/samba/smb.conf</filename> file, and add the following entries under the <emphasis role="italic">[sourcedocs]</emphasis> entry:
