*On your host F16 system VM 2 install Samba yum dnf install samba samba-client*Create a backup of the file /etc/samba/smb.conf, and create a new one that includes only the following:

workgroup = OPS335 <yourlearnid>.org

*You can change a user's password by using the command smbpasswd <learnid/username>*Test and review your configuration with the command

*You can now start your Samba server systemctl start (smb.service*Ensure your server starts ) and ensure it will start at boot. *You will need to determine which ports you need to open Modify the firewall on VM2 to allow connections to your serversamba traffic.

smbclient -U <learnid> -L f16vm2*If the previous command worked, try the connection from one It will show you a list of your VM's. You can view all available shares with the follow command: smbtree -N.

== Using smbclient ==*In a full installation you should not need to install samba-client on your host, but if it is not present then do so.*You will also need to install the cifs-utils package to be able to mount the filesystem.*From vm01 the host use the "smbclient" command in a terminal window. smbclient '\\f16vm2\home' -U <learnid>

*SE Linux should be in Enforcing and will need to be adjusted (on the samba server) for this to work. Check the available booleans or your logs. setsebool -P samba_enable_home_dirs 1*Use Once you have access to the directory use the get and put commands (similar to ftp) to move files.*When done enter you are finished close the quit commandconnection. == Using 'mount -t cifs ' ==

*Use the mount command on vm01 the host to mount your home directory mkdir /tmp/f16vm2-home mount -t cifs //f16vm2/home /tmp/f16vm2-home -o username=<learnid>#*If the previous step worked, browse your ls /tmp/mnt directory using cd and ls commands and when done use the umount command to unmount your Matrix vm2-home directory.#The first way is == Using Nautilus to use browse Samba shares ==*Use the "Places" menu from a Gnome the desktop:and open 'Browse Network'.#*As rootFrom the menu in the side-bar of the files tool, ensure Samba is installedchoose 'Connect to Server'. Use these two commands: "yum install samba" and "yum install samba-client"#*Fedora encrypts passwords when authenticating SMB connections. Unfortunately Windows clients (here at Seneca) insist on passwords being sent in plain text. For this reason Matrix SMB is set to use plain text passwords. To change Fedora to use plain text passwords switch to root and edit the Enter 'smb:/etc/sambavm2/smb.conf file home' as the location, and immediately after enter your samba password in the [global] section header insert these two lines:prompt.#**client plaintext auth = yes#**client lanman auth = yes#*Create a new account on Fedora with Where vm2 is the same name as your LEARN acount. Set of the password to 'seneca99'.#*Logout of joker server, and login to Fedora using your LEARN home is the nameof the directory it is sharing.#*Now try the following:#*From the "Places" menu at the top of After you have checked that you can access your screenfiles, select "Network" and wait until unmount the network scan completes. Then click on share by right-clicking its icon in the "Windows Network" side-bar and then click the "File" menu and select "Connect to Server", change the service type to "Windows Share" and input matrix.senecac.on.ca for the server, your username for the ShareName and UserName fields. Then click the Connect buttonclicking 'Unmount'.  == Using a browser ==*You should now be able to browse your Matrix files.#The second way is to can also use a web browser with support for the SMB protocol such as Konqueror. #**Note that firefox does not have such support. *If Konqueror is not installed then install it with the command: ' yum install kdebase'. #*Start Konqueror, the web/file browser, and in the Location edit box address bar enter the following: ' smb://matrixvm2/xxxxxx'. Where xxxxxx is home*Enter your Matrix usernameand password when prompted. #*Login to your Matrix account. Konqueror should open Double click on a window of your Matrix home directoryfile you have some text in. #*Use the mouse to drag *Open it with gedit, make some changes, and drop files save it.**When prompted, choose to and from your Matrix account and your Fedora Linux machineupload the file.*Close Konqueror.*cat the file on your VM2 to ensure the changes were properly uploaded.
