UNC Linux Users Group

[dsandif <dsandif AT email.unc.edu>]

Hi Brian,

I'm not sure but I think we have spoken before...

Anyway, this is what I trying to do:

I am setting up a new Samba file server for my department to give the following groups access to their own individual storage folders

Faculty-
Staff-
Students-

*I want to give each user under these groups at least 5 gigs of storage space to work with-

*Restrict access to all other areas of the server except personal storage space-

*I want them to use SSH to get to their folders, but once they ssh in, I want there to be a GUI\Window that they can work with that
   will allow them to see and use their files  just as if they were looking at their files in a mswindows environment-

*I would like one area for each group to have in their own confines to use as a share space. Likewise, I would like to create
  one main share space folder for all groups to use as well-

*I want to restrict the heck out of this Samba file server to only those people\computers\groups within this department-

*And some how, I want to use Samba or some other  app. to do voluntary and involuntary (scheduled) backups of data-

Is this possible with Samba?, I'm doing lots of reading here but I could use a hand. Let me know what you think & Thxs.

I think we're all just quietly running our servers.

I've used Samba a fair amount and currently have a server running. What
so you need help with?
