I run Debian unstable on my desktop at work. The file and print services are Windows-based, as are most of the other desktops.
I am able to get either rw or ro access to the network share. I am also able to print to the Windows network printer. Security is not a big issue, it seems, since I am able to read and write anywhere on the entire share. I would like to create two mountpoints. One that has the entire share mounted with ro and one that gives rw access to my personal directory which is a subdirectory somewhere on that share. I am only able to mount the share and then "cd" along to my desired destination. Is it possible to mount a subdirectory? If not, is it possible to get some protection by configuring my Samba client to enforce access based on where I am in the directory tree of the share? Currently I am not looking for a better or more secure solution for the company network. I just want to make sure that the power of the *nix-shell will not result in a disaster. I have never had an oops with rm, but I'd like to make sure that a small typo does not wipe out the entire shared drive.
