Backup the smb.conf file
------------------------------
Locating the Correct Samba configuration File:
[root@rhel samba]# smbd -b | grep smb.conf
CONFIGFILE: /etc/samba/smb.conf
[root@rhel samba]#
[root@rhel ~]# cd /etc/samba/
[root@rhel samba]# cp smb.conf smb.conf.orig
[root@rhel samba]# > smb.conf
[root@rhel samba]# vi smb.conf
Add a simple Homes Share in smb.conf
------------------------------
[root@rhel samba]# cat smb.conf
[global]
workgroup = MIDEARTH
[homes]
guest ok = no
read only = no
[root@rhel samba]#
[root@rhel samba]# service smb restart
Shutting down SMB services: [FAILED]
Shutting down NMB services: [FAILED]
Starting SMB services: [ OK ]
Starting NMB services: [ OK ]
[root@rhel samba]#
Add a user called Jen
-----------------------------
[root@rhel samba]# useradd jen
[root@rhel samba]# passwd jen
Changing password for user jen.
New UNIX password:
BAD PASSWORD: it is WAY too short
Retype new UNIX password:
passwd: all authentication tokens updated successfully.
Provide him with smb credentials(this is different from normal user/pass credentials)
[root@rhel samba]# smbpasswd -a jen
New SMB password:
Retype new SMB password:
Added user jen.
[root@rhel samba]#
Go to Start > Run > \\MachineIP
Login in through user/pass
Successfull !!!
You can see home directory [homes] and jen own home directory
Testing Your Samba Share
-------------------------
[root@rhel samba]# testparm /etc/samba/smb.conf
Load smb config files from /etc/samba/smb.conf
Processing section "[homes]"
Loaded services file OK.
Server role: ROLE_STANDALONE
Press enter to see a dump of your service definitions
[global]
workgroup = MIDEARTH
[homes]
read only = No
[root@rhel samba]#
List Shares Available on the Server
------------------------------
[root@rhel samba]# smbclient -L rhel -U jen
Password:

We learnt in our Last lecture about the Samba shares.In this tutorial we will try with these further:
Connnect to Your Own Samba Server through Own Client Software on the same machine
[root@rhel samba]# smbclient //localhost/ -U jen
Password:
Domain=[rhel] OS=[Unix] Server=[Samba 3.0.25b-0.4E.6]
[root@rhel samba]# smbclient //localhost/jen -U jen
Password:
Domain=[rhel] OS=[Unix] Server=[Samba 3.0.25b-0.4E.6]
You will see lots of commands here:
smb: \> ?
? altname archive blocksize cancel
case_sensitive cd chmod chown close
del dir du exit get
getfacl hardlink help history lcd
link lock lowercase ls mask
md mget mkdir more mput
newer open posix posix_open posix_mkdir
posix_rmdir posix_unlink print prompt put
pwd q queue quit rd
recurse reget rename reput rm
rmdir showacls setmode stat symlink
tar tarmode translate unlock volume
vuid wdel logon listconnect showconnect
!
smb: \>
Example:
Lets Put A file called text1 from the share to a directory /tmp
Here it goes:
[root@rhel samba]# cd /home/jen/
[root@rhel jen]# ls
[root@rhel jen]# touch text <<----- Lets Create a file called text1
[root@rhel jen]# vi text
[root@rhel jen]# smbclient //localhost/jen -U jen

smb: \> get text
getting file \text of size 6 as text (60000.0 kb/s) (average inf kb/s)
smb: \>
Now, When I browse /tmp directory i can see:
[root@rhel tmp]# ls
mapping-root text
[root@rhel tmp]#
Seting up a Samba Server which avials documents and printer to only the system regular users and not to anyone outside.
WorkOut:
1. Share Point ==> /export
2. All files owned by user called Ajeet Raina
Lets create a user :
[root@rhel tmp]# useradd -c "Ajeet Raina" -m -g users -p Oracle9ias ajeetr
[root@rhel tmp]# mkdir /export
[root@rhel tmp]# chmod u+rw,g+rw,o+rw /export
[root@rhel tmp]# chown ajeetr.users /export
[root@rhel tmp]#
Copy the files that should be shared to the /export directory.
..to be updated..
