SAMBA SERVER
The samba server will provide user authentication via passwords and optionally domains. Samba can also try AFS(andrew file system) authentication, granting AFS rights if successfull or falling back to native password checking otherwise.
Samba also has the ability through the winbindd daemon, to attach to a microsoft daemon password server.
When a redhat linux is running the winbindd service user accounts defined in the microsoft domain can be used to authenticate to the redhat linux machine.
Additionally in samba version 3.0 and later the samba services can use some microsoft active directory resources.
SAMBA SERVICES:
Four main services of samba
1)Authentication and authorization of users
2)File and printer sharing
3)Name resolution
4)Browsing(service announcements)
Related:
smbclient command line access
linux can mount a samba share using cifs and smbfs filesystem
File and printer sharing is probably the most attractive samba feature for most users. With this functions users can easily retrive files or print to any printer over the network.
SERVICE PROFILE:
Type: System V-managed service
Packages: Samba,samba-common,samba-client
Daemons: /usr/sbin/nmbd,/usr/sbin/smbd
Script: /etc/init.d/smb
Ports: <netbios> 137(-ns),138(-dgm),139(-ssh),<smb over tcp> 445(-ds)
Configuration file: /etc/samba/smb.conf
Related: system-config-samba,testparm
Steps to configure samba server:
#yum install samba-* -y
#service smb start
#chkconfig smb on
#vi /etc/samba/smb.conf
copy last 8 lines and paste under change as follows
[linux]
comment=<any data>
path=/exam(directory to be shared)
valid users=sam john
writable= yes
printable= no
hosts allow= 192.168.0.(allowable network)
here we are sharing /exam directory to sam and john they can read write /exam from any of 192.168.0. network system by using a share name linux
Note: we have to provide samba password for both users
#smbpasswd -a <username>
samba passwords will store under /etc/samba/smbpasswd
To check syntax of configuration file:
#testparm
#service smb restart
#mkdir /exam
#chmod 777 /exam
(here we have to set selinux context )
#chcon -t samba_share_t /exam
#setsebool -P allow_smbd_anon_write=1
FROM LINUX CLIENT:
Note: Client must have samba-client package
#yum install samba-* -y
#service smb start
#service smb restart
#smbclient //<server IP>/<share name> -U <username>
try to get and put
to disconnect
smb> (type exit)
from windows client
Ist method :
right click on mynetwork places--- select mapnetwork drive--- choose a drive
in folderbox type \\<serverip>\sharename
select finish
type username and password
try to create some files and folders
to disconnect
rightclick on mynetwork places disconnect network drive
select drive click ok
IInd Method
start---run ----
\\<serverip>\<sharedirectory>
provide username and password
to access user homedirectory
#setsebool -P samba_enable_home_dirs 1
from linux client
#smbclient //<serverip>/<myhomes> -U <username>
from windows client
start--run--\\<serverip>\<myhomes>
provide username & password
to give directory for a specific group
vi /etc/samba/smb.conf
[<sharename>]
path=<exported directory>
write list=@<group name>
ex:
[linux]
path=/exam
write list=@sales
