| - | |||
| - | |||
| - | Suppose you are living in a household with Windows and Linux computers scattered all over. How are you going to share all the data across those Operating Systems? Running up the stairs with USB sticks is only so much fun.\\ | ||
| - | Here is where Linux shines (yeah I know you can setup a Windows server, but you'll have to pay the price for that). In this article, I will try to explain how to setup a file- and print server where Windows and Linux clients (yeah... and Mac OSX too!) can connect and store their valuable stuff. | ||
| - | |||
| - | |||
| - | ==== Setting up Samba on Slackware ==== | ||
| - | ----------------------------------------- | ||
| - | |||
| - | * Install Samba and CUPS packages | ||
| - | |||
| - | * Make sure you have configured printers in CUPS if you want to use printing in Samba. For Linux, you will use a CUPS printer that is using the printer-specific PPD file, but for Windows clients, you will have to setup additional printer queues that use RAW printing (i.e. CUPS does not mess with the incoming printer data and passes the data on to the printer unaltered) | ||
| - | |||
| - | * Create samba directories (as root) that don't yet exist (but we need them) < | ||
| - | mkdir -p / | ||
| - | mkdir -p / | ||
| - | mkdir -p / | ||
| - | mkdir -p / | ||
| - | mkdir -p / | ||
| - | mkdir -p / | ||
| - | chmod 1777 / | ||
| - | chgrp -R wheel / | ||
| - | chmod -R g+w / | ||
| - | </ | ||
| - | |||
| - | * Create samba guest user account (for anonymous aka public shares) < | ||
| - | groupadd smbguest | ||
| - | useradd -g smbguest -m -d / | ||
| - | smbpasswd -a smbguest -d | ||
| - | passwd smbguest -l | ||
| - | </ | ||
| - | |||
| - | * Make sure this is in "/ | ||
| - | guest account = smbguest | ||
| - | map to guest = bad user | ||
| - | </ | ||
| - | |||
| - | * No LDAP for the moment (otherwise, choose ldapsam instead of tdbsam).\\ This should be in " | ||
| - | passdb backend = tdbsam guest | ||
| - | </ | ||
| - | smbpasswd -a smbguest -d | ||
| - | </ | ||
| - | |||
| - | |||
| - | === A sample smb.conf === | ||
| - | |||
| - | < | ||
| - | # This is the main Samba configuration file. You should read the | ||
| - | # smb.conf(5) manual page in order to understand the options listed | ||
| - | # here. Samba has a huge number of configurable options (perhaps too | ||
| - | # many!) most of which are not shown in this example | ||
| - | # | ||
| - | # For a step to step guide on installing, configuring and using samba, | ||
| - | # read the Samba HOWTO Collection. | ||
| - | # | ||
| - | # Any line which starts with a ; (semi-colon) or a # (hash) | ||
| - | # is a comment and is ignored. In this example we will use a # | ||
| - | # 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 " | ||
| - | # to check that you have not made any basic syntactic errors. | ||
| - | # | ||
| - | # | ||
| - | [global] | ||
| - | |||
| - | # workgroup = NT-Domain-Name or Workgroup-Name, | ||
| - | | ||
| - | |||
| - | # The server' | ||
| - | | ||
| - | |||
| - | # server string is the equivalent of the NT Description field | ||
| - | | ||
| - | |||
| - | # Security mode. Defines in which mode Samba will operate. Possible | ||
| - | # values are share, user, server, domain and ads. Most people will want | ||
| - | # user level security. See the HOWTO Collection for details. | ||
| - | | ||
| - | |||
| - | # Specify the debug level for multiple debug classes. | ||
| - | # The default will be the log level specified on the command line, | ||
| - | # or level zero if none was specified. | ||
| - | #log level = 2 passdb:5 auth:3 winbind:2 | ||
| - | log level = 1 | ||
| - | |||
| - | # Don't log anything at all in the syslog. | ||
| - | | ||
| - | |||
| - | # This option is important for security. It allows you to restrict | ||
| - | # connections to machines which are on your local network. The | ||
| - | # following example restricts access to two C class networks and | ||
| - | # the " | ||
| - | # the smb.conf man page | ||
| - | hosts allow = 192.168. 127. | ||
| - | |||
| - | # If you want to automatically load your printer list rather | ||
| - | # than setting them up individually then you'll need this | ||
| - | load printers = yes | ||
| - | |||
| - | # you may wish to override the location of the printcap file | ||
| - | | ||
| - | |||
| - | # It should not be necessary to specify the print system type unless | ||
| - | # it is non-standard. Currently supported print systems include: | ||
| - | # bsd, cups, sysv, plp, lprng, aix, hpux, qnx | ||
| - | | ||
| - | |||
| - | # Commands with which to control the printer queues | ||
| - | print command = lpr -oraw -r -P' | ||
| - | lpq command = / | ||
| - | |||
| - | # Members of the wheel group should be able | ||
| - | # to add drivers and set printer properties | ||
| - | # root is implicitly a ' | ||
| - | | ||
| - | |||
| - | # Uncomment this if you want a guest account, you must add this to /etc/passwd | ||
| - | # otherwise the user " | ||
| - | guest account = smbguest | ||
| - | |||
| - | # Bad User - Means user logins with an invalid password are rejected, | ||
| - | # unless the username does not exist, in which case it is treated as a guest | ||
| - | # login and mapped into the guest account. | ||
| - | map to guest = bad user | ||
| - | |||
| - | # User name remapping | ||
| - | ; username map = / | ||
| - | |||
| - | # this tells Samba to use a separate log file for each machine | ||
| - | # that connects | ||
| - | log file = / | ||
| - | |||
| - | # Put a capping on the size of the log files (in Kb). | ||
| - | max log size = 50 | ||
| - | |||
| - | # Backend to store user information in. New installations should | ||
| - | # use either tdbsam or ldapsam. smbpasswd is available for backwards | ||
| - | # compatibility. tdbsam requires no further configuration. | ||
| - | | ||
| - | |||
| - | # Synchronize Samba and Unix passwords | ||
| - | | ||
| - | | ||
| - | unix password sync = Yes | ||
| - | |||
| - | # Most people will find that this option gives better performance. | ||
| - | # See the chapter 'Samba performance issues' | ||
| - | # and the manual pages for details. | ||
| - | # You may want to add the following on a Linux system: | ||
| - | # | ||
| - | | ||
| - | |||
| - | # Configure Samba to use multiple interfaces | ||
| - | # If you have multiple network interfaces then you must list them | ||
| - | # here. See the man page for details. | ||
| - | ; | ||
| - | | ||
| - | bind interfaces only = yes | ||
| - | |||
| - | # Browser Control Options: | ||
| - | # set local master to no if you don't want Samba to become a master | ||
| - | # browser on your network. Otherwise the normal election rules apply | ||
| - | ; local master = no | ||
| - | |||
| - | # OS Level determines the precedence of this server in master browser | ||
| - | # elections. The default value should be reasonable | ||
| - | ; os level = 33 | ||
| - | |||
| - | # Domain Master specifies Samba to be the Domain Master Browser. This | ||
| - | # allows Samba to collate browse lists between subnets. Don't use this | ||
| - | # if you already have a Windows NT domain controller doing this job | ||
| - | | ||
| - | |||
| - | # Preferred Master causes Samba to force a local browser election on startup | ||
| - | # and gives it a slightly higher chance of winning the election | ||
| - | | ||
| - | |||
| - | # if you enable domain logons then you may want a per-machine or | ||
| - | # per user logon script | ||
| - | # run a specific logon batch file per workstation (machine) | ||
