Samba ora 7 Samba sharing

Add Samba users:
Run smbpasswd-a username with root permission
Here, username is an existing user name in the/etc/passwd file.

Set the password to username for logging on to the system (other passwords can also be used)

Finally, run
Service SMB start
Service nmb start (host name supported)
Start sharing service

Configuration file:

######################################## ####################
# This is the main Samba configuration file. You shoshould read
# Smb. conf (5) manual page in order to understand the options listed
# Here. Samba has a huge number of retriable options (perhaps too
# Success !) Most of which are not shown in this example
#
#/Etc/samba
# For a step to Step Guide on installing, logging ing and using Samba,
# Read the samba-howto-collection. This may be obtained from:
# Http://www.samba.org/samba/docs/Samba-HOWTO-Collection.pdf
#
# Define working examples of smb. conf files can be found in
# Samba-guide which is generated daily and can be downloaded from:
# Http://www.samba.org/samba/docs/Samba-Guide.pdf
#
# Any line which starts with a; (semi-colon) or a # (hash)
# Is a comment and is ignored. In this example we will use #
# For commentry and a; for parts of the config file that you
# May wish to enable
#
# Note: Whenever you modify this file you should run the command "testparm"
# To check that you have not made any basic syntactic errors.
#
#---------------
# SELinux notes:
#
# If you want to use the useradd/groupadd family of binaries please run:
# Setsebool-P samba_domain_controller on
#
# If you want to share home directories via Samba please run:
# Setsebool-P samba_enable_home_dirs on
#
# If you create a new directory you want to share you shoshould mark it
# "Samba-share_t" so that SELinux will let you write into it.
# Make sure not to do that on System directories as they may already have
# Been marked with othe SELinux labels.
#
# Use LS-LDz/path to see which context a directory has
#
# Set labels only on directories you created!
# To set a label use the following: chcon-T samba_t _t/path
#
# If you need to share a system Created directory you can use one of
# Following (read-only/read-write ):
# Setsebool-P samba_export_all_ro on
# Or
# Setsebool-P samba_export_all_rw on
#
# If you want to run scripts (preexec/root prexec/print command/...) Please
# Put them into the/var/lib/samba/scripts directory so that smbd will be
# Allowed to run them.
# Make sure you copy them and not move them so that the right SELinux Context
# Is applied, to check all is OK use restorecon-r-V/var/lib/samba/scripts

#
# Scurity can be set to user, share (Deprecated) or server (Deprecated)

# Browser on your network. Otherwise the normal election rules apply

# ----------------------------- Name resolution -------------------------------
# Windows Internet name serving Support Section:
# Note: Samba can be either a WINS server, or a WINS client, but not both

#
#-WINS server: tells the nmbd components of Samba to be a wins Client
#

# Behalf Of a non wins capable client, for this to work there must be

# User_xattr). thess options will let the admin store the DOS attributes

FAQs:

Q: Why can my VM access the host, but cannot access the VM?

A: Check whether the related services (such as computer browser) on the host are started. If not, enable the services.
