Samba este un soft open source, care permite sistemelor de operare unix-based sa “se vada” in retea cu Pc-urile cu Windows. Samba este de fapt implementarea mai multor protocoale intr-un singur soft capabil sa comunice simultan cu aceste protocoale: SMB, TCP/IP, NetBIOS (protocolul implementat in Network Neighborhood din Windows), WINS si Active Directory (pt asta trebuie setat kerberos).

In primul rand, pentru a seta cu succes Samba, trebuie ca masina pe care ruleaza linux sa aibe IP static. In caz contrar, nu vei putea folosi WINS…

Se instaleaza Samba:

#sudo apt-get install samba

Dupa instalare, trebuie sa ne asiguram ca Samba nu ruleaza:

#sudo /etc/init.d/samba stop

smb.conf este fisierul de configurare al Samba. Vom redenumi acest fisier in cele ce urmeaza:

#sudo mv /etc/samba/smb.conf /etc/samba/smb.conf.template

Cu urmatoarea comanda vom crea un fisier nou:

#sudo touch /etc/samba/smb.conf

Dupa care vom edita noul fisier in editorul preferat:

#sudo gedit /etc/samba/smb.conf

Cam asta ar trebui pus in noul fisier:

Sigur ca trebuiesc facute cateva mici modificari:

netbios name = YOUR_HOSTNAME trebuie inlocuit cu HOSTNAME-ul tau
workgroup = YOUR_WORKGROUP trebuie inlocuit cu WORKGROUP-ul tau (cel care e setat si pe Windows). In general, pe o masina Windows, numele workgrupului este: WORKGROUP sau MSHOME.

wins support = yes

Daca nu ai IP static, sau din diferite motive folosesti un IP dimanic, optiunea de mai sus trebuie setata cu “no” in loc de “yes”.

[MyFiles] este numele share-ului.Poate fi redenumit oricum, insa ar trebui evitate spatiile ( ca de altfel si la celelalte denumiri).

path = /media/samba/ presupunem ca acest path e un HDD mounted sau o alta partitie, si e locul unde vor fi salvate fisierele share-uite.

In cazul in care nu si un alt harddisk la dispozitie, sau o alta partitie, se poate crea un folder pe Home de exemplu, in care se pot tine fisierele share-uite:

#sudo mkdir /home/samba

In acest caz, path-ul va fi:

#path = /home/samba/

Deoarece /home/samba va fi un folder in care va trebui sa scrie mai multe lume, ii vom acorda permisiunile corecte:

#sudo chmod 0777 /home/samba

Cam astea ar fi setarile, trebuie sa pormin serviciul acum:

#sudo /etc/init.d/samba start
