Login on Samaba server
Check samba rpm installed or not, if not installed please install it,
[root@localhost ~]# rpm -qa | grep samba
[root@localhost ~]# yum install samba*
Create a directory in root file system which is shared with client.
[root@localhost ~]#mkdir -p /home/testuser/test
Add a new group or can use existing group
To provide access on shared directory,Here we are adding new group called samba
[root@localhost ~]#groupadd samba
Change the group and permission of sharing folder
[root@localhost ~]#chgrp -R samba /home/testuser/test
[root@localhost ~]#chmod -R 777 /home/testuser/test
create user, add into group and set samba password
[root@localhost ~]#useradd testuser
[root@localhost ~]#usermod -G samba testuser
[root@localhost ~]#smbpasswd -a testuser
Now Edit /etc/samba/smb.conf file
Note: Please take a backup of origianl file.
[root@localhost ~]#cd /etc/samba/
[root@localhost ~]#cp -p smb.conf smb.conf.orig
And add the below given contents in last line of /etc/samba/smb.conf file.
vi /etc/samba/smb.conf
[test]
comment = shared-directory
path = /home/testuser/test
public = no
valid users = testuser, @samba
writable = yes
browseable = yes
create mask = 0774
directory mask = 4774
##Edit these lines in /etc/samba/smb.conf . To allow network to reach samba server
interfaces = lo ens32 192.168.1.0/24
hosts allow = 127. 192.168.1.
security = user
passdb backend = tdbsam
netbios name = localhost
server string = Samba Server localhost
workgroup = MYGROUP
log file = /var/log/samba/samba.log
max log size = 50
security = server
Add services in /etc/services files
vi /etc/services
netbios-ns 137/tcp # netbios name service
netbios-ns 137/udp # netbios name service
netbios-dgm 138/tcp # netbios datagram service
netbios-dgm 138/udp # netbios datagram service
netbios-ssn 139/tcp # netbios session service
netbios-ssn 139/udp # netbios session service
Note: Please check these above ports are open from this samba server to client machine
Now start the smb and nmb services.
systemctl start smb.service
systemctl start nmb.service
Enable smb and nmb service at booting of system
systemctl enable smb.service
systemctl enable nmb.service
Note 1: firewalld service not enable on this server so no need to add any rule.
Note 2: selinux is in permissive state so no need to change the selinux security context.
Now login on window machine
and mount this samba share on the server.
