Using PySDM To Change Permissions

  • 772

So I'm trying to understand how to change permissions on an external drive. It seems like only 1 user can connect via the Samba share.

I've read some things about installing PySDM, so beginners (like myself) don't have to edit the /etc/fstab.

Would this be something I need to change the permissions to allow other users to access the external drive?

permissions 11.10 external-hdd pysdm

    You can add samba users with the smbpasswd command:

    sudo smbpasswd samba_username

    That should ask you for your admin password, and then for the samba_user password.

    You can also install and use gadmin-samba, check out the howto.
