== Simple File Server ==

Install Samba:
yum install samba samba-client

Create a share folder:
mkdir /files

Samba configuration files:
/etc/samba/

Modify samba configuration and add our file share:
<pre>
[global]
# Computer name, workgroup and description:
workgroup = WORKGROUP
netbios name = DATA
server string = File Server

# Logs
# default: <empty>)
log file = /var/log/samba/%m.log
# (default: 5000)
max log size = 50

# User map (default: <empty>)
username map = /etc/samba/smbusers
# Encrypt passwords (default: yes)
encrypt passwords = yes
# Security scheme (default: user)
security = user
# Password backend (default: smbpasswd)
passdb backend = tdbsam

# 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
# (default: yes)
local master = no
# Preferred Master causes Samba to force a local browser
# election on startup
# and gives it a slightly higher chance of winning the election
# (default: auto)
preferred master = no

# Should Samba use the configured DNS server
# (default: yes)
dns proxy = no

# advertise this is a time server
time server = Yes

# Disable printers:
load printers = no
printing = bsd
printcap name = /dev/null
disable spoolss = yes
show add printer wizard = no

[files]
comment = File Share
path = /data/files
writeable = yes
browseable = yes
valid users = trogdor kenneth
create mask = 0660
directory mode = 0770
</pre>

Create linux user:
adduser <user>

Add the root user to the SAMBA password database.
smbpasswd -a <samba_user>

Map the Samba user to a local linux user
echo "<linux_user> = <samba_user>" >> /etc/samba/smbusers
echo "root = Administrator" >> /etc/samba/smbusers

Give user permission to folder:
chown <user> /files

Restart Samba:
service smb restart
