I am trying to understand how samba works. I found out there are two types of sharing, single-user and multi-user. I am confused about what is the specific difference between the two? Does single-user sharing mean that whenever the share is mounted by a single user, any other user cannot mount that same share? And is it the opposite in multi-user samba?Also why do we need a credentials file? What is its use? And why do we use this file only for multi-user sharing?I am having a hard time understanding these concepts. Any lead is appreciated.Also I do not have much experience asking questions here on stack exchange, please excuse the formatting of this question.Many thanks.
What is the use of credentials file in multi-user samba?
