You can log in via telnet and just su, but this is not that great an idea since all telnetpw are sniffable on the wire.
Try deslogin as a telnet replacement.
ftp://ftp.uu.net/pub/security/des
you will need the cipher-3.0.tar.Z and the des-1.3.tar.gz
packages, but if you enjoy messing with the keys and putting up with the hassle of SSH forget i mentioned it.
basic smb.conf
[global]
workgroup = "workgroup name"
netbios name = "Chap rouge"
security = share
encrypt passwords = yes
[share]
path = "/home/smbuser/share"
comment = insecure open share
browseable = yes
writeable = yes
Create the user and directory and make it writeable
and readable.
Then write a small start script:
#!/bin/sh
if [ ! -z $(pidof smbd) -a ! -z $(pidof nmbd) ]
then
echo "Samba D is running at $(pidof smbd) and
net bios D is running at $(pidof nmbd)."
else
if [ "$UID" -eq 0 ]
then
nmbd && smbd > /dev/null 2>&1
else
echo " Must have root permissions to start
samba services."
exit 1 > /dev/null
fi
fi
name this smbstart ; chmod 700 smbstart
and run it manually, or use RH's built in run level editor
as ifincham mentions , to run the service.
you can also allow root logins via telnet, but this is
EXTREMELY bad practice. (man securetty.)
