[edit] Configuring a Samba server

Below is a simple configuration file.

  • It will provide anonymouse access for everyone to the /home/shared directory.
  • It will also provide authenticated access for users to their home directory.
  • Don't forget to use sudo smbpasswd -a <username> to give the users a samba account!
  • You will need to do this as well:
mkdir /home/shared
chown nobody:nogroup /home/shared
chmod 775 /home/shared

Contents of /etc/samba/smb.conf

[edit] Mounting Samba shares under Linux

Install the following packages:

samba
samba-client
samba4


Setup a credentials file, and secure it:

username=xxx
password=xxx


And insert the following lines to /etc/fstab (will need to be root or use sudo to mount/unmount):

<share>     <mount_point>     cifs     user,noauto,noexec,uid=<UID>,gid=<GID>,credentials=<credentials_path>,iocharset=utf8,file_mode=0600,dir_mode=0700     0 0

Eg:

//baloo/l$     /home/attie/baloo-l     cifs     user,noauto,noexec,uid=attie,gid=attie,credentials=/home/attie/.smbcreds,iocharset=utf8,file_mode=0600,dir_mode=0700     0 0
