Configuration of Samba
1. First, we need to create a Samba directory, where all the shared data will be stored.
[root@node1 ~]# mkdir /sambadir
[root@node1 ~]# ls -ldZ /sambadir/
drwxr-xr-x. root root unconfined_u:object_r:default_t:s0
/sambadir/
[root@node1 ~]# semanage fcontext -a -t samba_share_t
"/sambadir(/.*)?"
[root@node1 ~]# restorecon -Rv /sambadir/
[root@node1 ~]# ls -ldZ /sambadir/
drwxr-xr-x. root root unconfined_u:object_r:samba_share_t:s0
/sambadir/
[root@node1 ~]#
2. Make a backup of the configuration file by copying it in
the same or another directory.
[root@node1 ~]# cp /etc/samba/
lmhosts
smb.conf smb.conf.example
[root@node1 ~]# cp /etc/samba/smb.conf
/etc/samba/smb.conf.back
Setting up Samba User Account
[root@node1 /]# useradd node2
[root@node1 /]# smbpasswd -a node2
New SMB password:
Retype new SMB password:
Added user node2.
Configuring Samba Shares
Now we will configure the directory samba as a share that we have created. For this, we will have to add the following lines in the Samba configuration file.
Add the following line to the bottom of the smb.conf file.
[root@node1 ~]#vi /etc/samba/smb.conf
[samba_share_t]
comment = Sambadir share
path = /sambadir
read only = no
browsable = yes
Restart Samba Service
[root@node1 ~]# systemctl restart smb
Connecting Samba Share
Connecting from Linux
There are two
ways to connect Samba share from Linux client.
1. Using
Command Line
2. Using GUI
1. Using the command line
To connect Samba share through the Linux command line, we need a smbclient tool. We
need to install smbclient tool to the server
[root@node1 ~]# yum install samba-client
Once the installation is completed, run the command by using
the following syntax to access Samba share
[root@node2 ~]# smbclient //node1/samba_share_t -U node2
Enter SAMBA\node2's password:
Try "help" to get a list of possible commands.
smb: \>
2. Using GUI
To access Samba share via GUI, open Linux File Manager. Click on Connect
to Server and write down the below command.
smbclient //node1/samba_share_t
