We have user 'kolo' on linux machine 'someserver' and we want access it's home
directory contents from windwows machines.
=== Installation ===
{{{
poldek:/all-avail> install samba-3.5.1-2.i686
}}}
=== Access configuration ===
Edit '/etc/samba/smb.conf'
Set workgroup:
{{{
workgroup = SOMEWORKGROUP
}}}
Set descriptive workgroup:
{{{
# server string is the equivalent of the NT Description field
server string = Someserver Samba Server
}}}
Set which IP# can conect (localhost and 192.168.1.0/24 in example):
{{{
hosts allow = 192.168.1. 127.
}}}
Set security mode to 'user'
{{{
# Security mode. Most people will want user level security. See
# /usr/share/doc/samba-doc-html-*/Samba3-HOWTO/ServerType.html for details.
security = user
}}}
Select on which interfaces samba will listen:
{{{
interfaces = 192.168.1.1/24 127.0.0.1/8
}}}
Add share definiotions for home directories:
{{{
[homes]
comment = Home Directories
browseable = no

}}}
=== Start smb and verify if it runs ===
{{{
[mat...@someserver ~]$ smbclient -L localhost -U%
Domain=[SOMEWORKGROUP] OS=[Unix] Server=[Samba 3.5.1]
