Sudo chown smbadmin:sambashare /home/share/smbadmin sudo useradd -M -d /home/share/smbadmin -s /usr/sbin/nologin -G sambashare smbadmin We created a user’s home directory inside Samba share parent directory and set ownership to the samba share group.
#SAMBA SERVER PASSWORD#
$ sudo smbpasswd -a user1Įnable samba account after setting the password using the command: $ sudo smbpasswd -e user1 Sudo chown user1:sambashare /home/share/user1 sudo useradd -M -d /home/share/user1 -s /usr/sbin/nologin -G sambashare user1 Replace user1 with samba share user to create. sudo chgrp sambashare /home/shareĬreate samba share users. Set group ownership of Samba share directory to sambashare group.
writable = yes – Set share directory as writable.
guest only = yes – All protected as guests.path = /home/share – Directory to share.# Change this to the workgroup/NT-domain name your Samba server will be part of sudo chmod 777 /home/shareĬonfigure Samba share on /etc/samba/smb.conf file. The directory should be readable and writable for all users. sudo mkdir -p /home/share Access to All without Authentication (Not recommended) The directory must exist before it can be configured in smb.conf. Let’s start by creating a directory to share via Samba. If you change this configuration file, the changes do not take effect until you restart the Samba daemon. Samba uses configuration file in /etc/samba/smb.conf. Once the package is installed, proceed to step 2 where we will do the configuration and manage Samba service.
