An organization wants to share a directory with a group of Windows users. The directory must be writable only by members of the 'staff' group, and read-only for everyone else. The Samba server uses user-level security. Which configuration best achieves this?

Set 'browseable = no' and 'read only = no' in the share definition.

Set 'read only = yes' and 'write list = @staff' in the share definition.

Set 'valid users = @staff' and 'read only = no' in the share definition.

Set 'guest ok = yes' and 'read only = no' in the share definition.

A Samba server is experiencing intermittent issues where Windows clients cannot browse the network. The administrator notices that the nmbd daemon is running but the server is not winning master browser elections. Which configuration change would most likely improve the server's chances of becoming the master browser?

Set 'domain master = no' in the [global] section.

Set 'preferred master = no' in the [global] section.

Set 'os level = 65' in the [global] section.

Set 'wins server = 192.168.1.1' in the [global] section.
