Steps to configure SAMBA in LINUX (Redhat, CentOS, Fedora, etc)
Step1: Install samba(if not installed)[root@server ~#]yum install samba
Step2: Edit the samba(smb) configuration file /etc/samba/smb.conf
[root@server ~#]vi /etc/samba/smb.conf
#in the 101st line change to “user“
#In this example, i’m sharing a newly created folder “/home/new“, and is only accessible by the user james with samba service
#Here “Samba share” is just a sharing name of folder(can change to anything)
# add the following lines to bottom of the smb.conf
[Samba share]
path = /home/new
writable = yes
createmode = 0770
directory mode = 0770
sharemodes = yes
guest ok = no
valid users = @james
#to control access to samba server, use below method(add to bottom of smb.conf)(optional)
hosts allow = 127.0.0.1 192.168.10.0/24 192.168.50.0/32
#to deny a host, eg:192.168.10.5( use below method)(optional)
hosts deny = 192.168.10.5/32
#to listen samba to custum interfaces( to listen only from eth2)(optional)
interfaces = eth2 lo
# Save the smb.conf file
Note: The home folder of samba user is also shared with samba service
Step3: add the user james and set samba password
[root@server ~#]useradd james
[root@server ~#]smbpasswd -a james
#(now set smaba access password for james)
Step4:Set file permission and group permission to james to access /home/new
[root@server ~#]chgrp james /home/new
[root@server ~#]chmod 2770 /home/new
Step5: Start smaba daemon
[root@server ~#]service smb start
[root@server ~#]chkconfig smb on
Important: Samba server listens on ports 139/tcp and 445/tcp, so you must open these ports in firewall or click to Disable firewall
Step6: to access samba share, run \\<ipaddress> from windows OS
eg: if ip address of samba server is 192.168.10.50, then run this command \\192.168.10.50
You can also share printers with this samba service
