Thread: Sharing Automounted Windows Drive - Is this method OK??


i automounted windows drive in ubuntu 12.04. works good. have go mnt find windows directory. little inconvenient find folder but... it. glad have automounted!

when went sharing options getting:
add: cannot share path /media/disk/disk restricted sharing directories own.
ask administrator add line "usershare owner = false"
[global] section of smb.conf allow this.
so... hit alt-f2 , added line global section of smb.conf file.

can share whatever want. safe? i'd make sure keep windows happy incase need it.




from thread, guy had way... didn't work me reason did. here's way:
smb.conf located in /etc/samba. easy way alt-f2 , type
gksu gedit /etc/samba/smb.conf
the method used ("usershare owner = false" ) worked great, want make sure it's safe.

i think allow others share your home directory , (probably) see it's contents.

suggest change owner
