Samba setup on a Synapse Insite for Brisque system allows full control to Windows users on the network


Product		Synapse^® Insite 3.5x for Brisque^®
Platform		All Dell platforms
Operating system		Microsoft^®Windows^® 2000 Server running VMWare^® and Linux^®

Symptoms		All Windows users on the client network have full control of the Samba share.

Cause		By default, Synapse InSite for Brisque shares the Brisque jobs volume with full control on the Windows network.

Solution		Using the VI text editing utility, edit the smb.conf file to allow only the address of the InSite server, as follows: `Host allow = 10.1.115.10`. You can also use the same smb.conf file to allow an entire subnet by changing the text as follows: `Host allow = 10.1.115`.
