Samba deny host not blocking that host

  • 772

I want to block access to some Samba shares from a certain machine, but somehow I can't get it to work: the machine can still access the shares, and I did restart and reload the samba daemon.

Here is a part of my configuration:

    security = share
    hosts allow = 127.0.0.1 192.168.1.0/24
    interfaces = 127.0.0.1 eth1 192.168.1.2
    bind interfaces only = yes
    hosts deny = 192.168.1.251
    encrypt passwords = yes
    guest ok = yes

The shares themselves look like this:

[examples]
    comment = Example
    path = /foo/bar
    read only = No
    guest ok = yes

What am I doing wrong here?

  1. Found the answer, at least a working solution:

    I removed the hosts deny line, and changed that hosts allow as follows:

        hosts allow = 127.0.0.1 192.168.1. EXCEPT 192.168.1.251

  2. Correction: For the machines you want to block access to set the "browseable= no". This field may vary depending on the version of Samba your using
