1.
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Prepare your Enviroment:
- samba-common-3.0.14a-2.i386.rpm
- samba-3.0.14a-2.i386.rpm
- samba-client-3.0.14a-2.i386.rpm
- samba-swat-3.0.14a-2.i386.rpm (install only if you want have samba-webinterface)
2.
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Now its time to configure SAMBA:
rpm -i samba-common-3.0.14a-2.i386.rpm
rpm -i samba-3.0.14a-2.i386.rpm
rpm -i samba-client-3.0.14a-2.i386.rpm
rpm -i samba-swat-3.0.14a-2.i386.rpm
3.
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Everything should be installed now, its time to configure Samba:
- cd /etc/samba/
- vi smb.conf
You can safely edit this file (in fact you must) necessary is :
workgroup = < your windows network workgroup > e.g.: WORKGROUP
server string = < Information about your Samba Server >
netbios name = < Hostname of Sambaserver > e.g.: SMBSERV01
You dont need to touch the shares so far, if you want to share
other directorys keep and eye on the examples in the smb.conf
4.
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Now everything is done and you can start:
[root@test] smbd -D
[root@test] nmbd -D
Now you should be able to access your Sambaserver from your
Windowsmachine via \\< smb machine ip >

For those who want to use swat with samba :
- cd /etc/xinetd.d/
- vi swat
change disable = yes to => disable = no

make sure the following line is in it : swat 901/tcp # Samba Web Administration Tool
to test do 'grep 901 /etc/services' , if not in insert it
now do : service xinetd restart
Swat should be running now !
(6.)
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
To access Swat Webinterface from Lan :
- cd /etc/xinetd.d/
- vi swat
change 'only_from = 127.0.0.1' to 'only_from = 'your.netmask.0.0' e.g.: '192.168.0.0'
the 0 stands for wildcards (e.g. 192.168.0.0 to 192.168.255.255)
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

You might want to mention security-related things, such as making sure that you are using user security by doing the following:
Code:
[global]
...
security = user
...And with that security in place, you would also want to mention adding a user by issuing smbpassword -a as root, like this:
Code:
su
{enter password}
smbpasswd -a {user name}This is a security measure that quite a few Windows computers lack, so by adding this security, we'll be one step ahead of Windows users! :)
