(i) you can access configuration examples on my GitHub: https://github.com/guihome-diaz/IT/tree/master/install_scripts/assets/samba

Installation

Core packages

apt-get install samba samba-common libkrb5-3 winbind smbclient
apt-get install cifs-utils

Samba protocol is built upon Windows File Share. All windows versions since XP implements it, including Windows Server. Latest version implements higher specifications and security.

The CIFS protocol is also required as this is one of the default Windows Server share protocol.


Printer share

apt-get install libcups2 cups cups-pdf


User Interface

apt-get install system-config-samba


Usage

Edit configuration

vim  /etc/samba/smb.conf


Service management

/etc/init.d/samba restart


Configuration check

testparm -s

The file content should appears, without any alerts.


Basic share (no authentication)

The following configuration will make all shares available for a specific set of IP @ |or| the whole world. 

vim /etc/samba/smb.conf

You have to duplicate the [webserver] section for each share.



Restricted share

This is just an effective summary of https://wiki.samba.org/index.php/Standalone_server


Create samba users

First of all you must create Linux users + grant them the samba access. 

## Create a new system user 'smbUser' and add it to the list of SAMBA users

# 1. New system user
useradd -c "Samba user" -s /sbin/nologin -m smbUser
passwd smbUser
# 2. Add system user to 'users'
useradd -G users smbUser
# 3. Add account to SAMBA                  
smbpasswd -a smbUser
# 4. Grant SAMBA access to account
smbpasswd -e smbUser


Share rights

Before setting up the configuration, ensure all your share have the 711 root permissions. 

## if you plan to share "/mnt/shareDrive/" content
chmod 711 /mnt/shareDrive


Global configuration (guest forbidden)

The configuration is almost the same. Adjust the following parameters:

  • map to guest = bad user
  • guest account = nobody
  • usershare allow guests = yes

   # log level in common Syslog (O.S log)

Share definition (private)

This will set a new share, with full rights. Compare to a public share, please note the following values:

  • guest ok = no
  • public = no
  • only guest = no
  • force user = linuxUser
  • force group = users
  • valid users = smbuser
