Today I have configured samba server on my linux machine .I thought it would be better if i share it here and get feedback from an experienced users.
This configuration is based on Redhat release 5.
First check to see if samba server is installed or not.
However you can find samba client installed on most of Linux Distributions.
To get the samba server package the best place to for is your Distribution disk.
I have searched my OS disk and found following package for samba.
samba-3.0.28-0.el5.8.i386.rpm
install the above package on the system using.
After successful installation just run “rpm -q samba “ To check if samba is installed or not.
Samba configuration file is stored at following location.
Samba service name.
To start samba service at system starup use chkconfig command.
To check the current runlevel of smb service.
To start the service at system startup use.
reconfirm with below command.
restart the machine and check the smb service status.
create samba users.
First, lets create the smbpasswd file that we defined in the smb.conf file. The best way to go about this is to create it based on your existing /etc/passwd file. In other words, samba users are created based on existing linux users:
after execution a new file will be created under /etc/samba directory.
the password for samba user is not similar to existing system users.
We need to manually set the samba user.
Now its time to edit samba configuration file .
Take a backup of original file using.
Delete all entries.Add following values inside the configuration file .
Description:
This line will allow samba server accessible from 10.180.18 series and localhost .
This will tell samba to use smbpasswd file from mentioned location
Path that should be made available for all.
Restart the smb service and access the files through windows login.
