Now create a backup of the default smb.conf[root@blackmod ~]# cp -p /etc/samba/smb.conf /root/smb.conf.backup
create a new samba configuration remove everything from /etc/samba/smb.conf and copy + paste the following lines in: [global]
workgroup = MYGROUP
server string = Samba Server Version %v
log file = /var/log/samba/log.%m
max log size = 50
security = user
passdb backend = tdbsam
load printers = yes
cups options = raw
[myshare]
path=/myshare
valid users=myuser read only=no
Replace "path=/myshare" with the folder you want to share and "valid users=myuser" with your Linux user. set a samba password Because Samba has its own password database, you have to set a password for your user (myuser): [root@blackmod ~]# smbpasswd -a myuser New SMB password:
Retype new SMB password:
Start SAMBA start samba with the following command: [root@blackmod ~]# service smb start
Starting SMB services: [ OK ]
And make sure it starts automatically after reboot: [root@blackmod ~]# chkconfig smb on
That's it.
