→‎Configuring an SMB Server on Linux

yum install samba

*Create a backup of the file /etc/samba/smb.conf, and create a new one that includes the following:

[global] workgroup = OPS335 server string = "put your real name here without the quotes" encrypt passwords = yes smb passwd file = /etc/samba/smbpasswd hosts allow = 142.204.141. ; note: the above line will allow access from the Seneca domain in lab T2107

[home] comment = "put your real name here without the quotes" path = /home/<learnid> valid users = <learnid> ; remember <learnid> is your learnid account name public = no writable = yes printable = no create mask = 0765

*Create a Samba password for user <learnid> with the command

smbpasswd -a <learnid>

*Test your configuration with the command

testparm

*You can now start your Samba server

systemctl start smb.service

*Test if you have a connection with the command

smbclient -L 142.204.141.yyy -Uxxxxxxx%ppppppp

*where 142.204.141.yyy is your Fedora Linux IP address and xxxxxxx is your Matrix account name and ppppppp is your SAMBA password

*If the previous command worked, use another PC (Fedora then Windows) to establish a connection with the SMB server on your Fedora Linux machine. This step is important to ensure your SMB server on Linux is working.
