To restrict access to the IPC$ (interprocess communication) share in Samba, you will need to set the hosts allow and hosts deny parameters in the smb.conf configuration file.
The hosts allow and hosts deny parameters control which hosts are allowed or denied access to a Samba share. The hosts allow parameter specifies a list of hosts that are allowed access to the share, while the hosts deny parameter specifies a list of hosts that are denied access to the share.
To restrict access to the IPC$ share in Samba, you can use the hosts allow and hosts deny parameters to specify a list of hosts that are allowed or denied access to the share. For example, to allow access to the IPC$ share from host 192.168.1.100 and deny access from all other hosts, you can use the following configuration in the smb.conf file:
[global]
hosts allow = 192.168.1.100
hosts deny = ALL
Save the file and restart the Samba service for the changes to take effect.
By using the hosts allow and hosts deny parameters, you can restrict access to the IPC$ share in Samba. It's always a good idea to carefully review the documentation and use the appropriate options and settings when working with Samba. This will help ensure that your Samba configuration is set up correctly and that any problems are detected and addressed.
