pch3 · Read-only and read-write Samba user possible ? pch3 January 7, 2018 at 5:11 PM

I am not active forum user, I registered only to answer you. Sorry so late

My setup is:

guest access read only - no authentication required

auth access with write privileges - authentication required. Additionally shares are hidden, so you have to know what you are looking for.

I set it up in this way, so in case anyone from my family catches ransomware, then files shared via LE are safe.

.config/samba.conf

Code

nobody = root
root = admin

to have write access you have to auth as admin (default username - libreelec)
