questions regarding setting up a samba server

Question

I want to setup a samba for file sharing in my intranet, but I want to know if there is any way to prohibit some kind of files (e.g *.exe) uploaded to the share folder? And I want to know if there is any way to force the user to change the password for the first time login?

Answer 1

You can use the veto files statement to prevent the upload of exe files. Forcing users to modify passwords is also possible in some circumstances, but I believe this requires running Samba at least as a Domain Controller and your users logging into the domain.

Answer 2

Yes it is possible. I do not have full answer but hint is use to veto files option in your configuration file for your first query. Hint for second query is to use pdedit utility.
