LinuxQuestions.org - SAMBA Sample

Hi, I saw a couple of people with some standard Samba problems.
I hope that this example might clear some things up:
Code:
# smb.conf is the main Samba configuration file. You find a full commented

# version at /usr/share/doc/packages/samba/examples/smb.conf.SUSE if the

# samba-doc package is installed.

# Date: 2005-03-22



#

# Notes from Last-Attacker

#

# When setting up in SuSE, make sure you do the following:

# * Replace the existing smb.conf with this one (make a copy

#  first if you desire)

# * 'Copy' the unix account passwords over the smbpasswd file

#  cat /etc/passwd | mksmbpasswd.sh > /etc/samba/smbpasswd

# * Create users individually with 'smbpasswd <user>'

# * Open the following ports in firewall : 

#  (TCP) 137, 138

#  (UDP) 139, 445

# * Start/Restart the smb service

#

# What this SAMBA Config does:

# * Shares the /var/shares folder for guest full access

#  (for people to copy stuff to you and for you to share

#  with others without giving your account details, just

#  make sure make that directory is created and with the

#  nobody as user & group with full access)

# * Users that has accounts on this machine can log in

#  from Windows or Linux because they have to give their

#  username and password through the profiles folder.

# * Once they have logged in, a folder in the server's 

#  main view appears with the user's name on it sothat

#  the user don't have to log in again but when that

#  browser program is closed, it SHOULD 'log off'

#  (standard with all SAMBAS).
