What is Samba?
Samba is a software package that gives network administrators flexibility and freedom in terms of setup, configuration, and choice of systems and equipment. Because of all that it offers, Samba has grown in popularity, and continues to do so, every year since its release in 1992.
Most Linux systems are the part of networks that also run Windows systems. Using Linux Samba servers, your Linux and Windows systems can share directories and printers. This is most use full situation where your clients are window native and you want to use the linux security features.
Exam question There are mixed lots of System running on Linux and Windows OS. Some users are working on Windows Operating System. There is a /data directory on linux server should make available on windows to only vinita should have right to connect with samba server . Configure to make available.
per quest of samba server
We suggest you to review that article before start configuration of samba server. Once you have completed the necessary steps follow this guide.
samba rpm is required to configure samba server. check them if not found then install
Now check smb, portmap, xinetd service in system service it should be on
Now restart xinetd and portmap and smb service
To keep on these services after reboot on then via chkconfig command
After reboot verify their status. It must be in running condition
Create a normal user named vinita
now create /data directory and grant it full permission
open /etc/samba/smb.conf main samba configuration files
By default name of workgroup is MYGROUP in smb.conf file. you can change it with desire name
our task is to share data folder for vinita user so go in the end of file and do editing as shown here in this image
save file with :wq and exit
Now add vinita user to samba user
we have made necessary change now on smb service and check it status
if you already have on this service then restart it with service smb restart commands.
reboot system after changing workgroup name
After reboot open my network place here you can see samba server [ if not see then click on view workgroup computer in right pane, if still not see then use search button from tool bar and search computer samba server form ip ]
First try to login from user nikita she will not successes as nikita have not permission to login
Now login from user vinita [ give the password which you set with smbpasswd command ]
As you can see in image user vinita gets the /data folder which we share from samba server
Copy some window files in data folder
in output you see that one samba shared directory is used on window system

Example 1.1. A minimal smb.conf
[global] |
workgroup = WKG |
netbios name = MYNAME |
[share1] |
path = /tmp |
[share2] |
path = /my_shared_folder |
comment = Some random files |
Configure samba server
In this example we will configure a samba server and will transfer files from client side.For this example we are using two systems one linux server one window clients.per quest of samba server
- A linux server with ip address 192.168.0.254 and hostname Server
- A window client with ip address 192.168.0.2 and hostname Client2
- Updated /etc/hosts file on linux system
- Running portmap and xinetd services
- Firewall should be off on server

samba rpm is required to configure samba server. check them if not found then install
Now check smb, portmap, xinetd service in system service it should be on
#setup Select System service from list [*]portmap [*]xinetd [*]smb
To keep on these services after reboot on then via chkconfig command
After reboot verify their status. It must be in running condition
Create a normal user named vinita

Client configuration for samba server
Go on windows system and ping samba server, change computer name to client2 and workgroup name to MYGROUPreboot system after changing workgroup name
After reboot open my network place here you can see samba server [ if not see then click on view workgroup computer in right pane, if still not see then use search button from tool bar and search computer samba server form ip ]
First try to login from user nikita she will not successes as nikita have not permission to login
Now login from user vinita [ give the password which you set with smbpasswd command ]
As you can see in image user vinita gets the /data folder which we share from samba server
Copy some window files in data folder
Check status on samba server
on samba server you can check runtime status of samba server to check it run smbstatus commandin output you see that one samba shared directory is used on window system
