This article is just a personal experience, please correct if there is a mistake. This article does not discuss what is Samba.
Fedora
1. First look for the Samba RPM package in Fedora (optional)
RPM -QA | GREP "Samba"
Note: If you want to uninstall an existing RPM package, you can do the following instructions:
RPM-E RPM_NAME
2. Go http://download.Fedora.Redhat.com/pub/Fedora/i386/Fedora/rpms/ Download Samba-3.0.3-5.i386.rpm, Samba-Client-3.0. 3-5.I386.RPM, and Samba-Common-3.0.3-5.i386.rpm three RPM packages.
3. Upgrade Samba-Common RPM to 3.0.3-5
RPM -UVH Samba-Common-3.0.3-5.i386.rpm
4. Install SAMBA 3.0.3-5 and Samba-Client
Rpm -i samba-3.0.3-5.i385.rpm
RPM -I Samba-Client-3.0.3-5.i386.rpm
Note: If you have successfully installed Samba, there will be a "SMB" shell script file in the "/etc/rc.d/init.d" directory.
5. Execute the "ChkConfig --List" instruction to detect if the SMB Service is already in the Fedora's service list.
6. If not, add the SMB Service with "ChkConfig --Add SMB".
7. Use the "ChkConfig --level 35 SMB On" instruction to open the Samba Service at the third and fifth run levels (do not know if the specific details are not related). This way, each Fedora restart will automatically open the Samba Service.
8. Form a /etc/samba/smb.conf file. Here is my SMB.conf example:
[global]
Workgroup = Workgroup
Server string = my-serv
Netbios name = my-serv
Log file = /var/log/samba/%m.log
Max log size = 50
Security = user
Encrypt passwords = yes
SMB Passwd File = / etc / samba / smbpasswd
Unix Password Sync = YES
Passwd program = / usr / bin / passwd% u
Passwd chat = * new * password *% N / N * Retype * new * password *% n / n * passwd: * all * authentication * tokens * updated * successful all *
Pam Password Change = YES
Obey Pam Restrictions = YES
Socket Options = TCP_NODELAY SO_RCVBUF = 8192 SO_SNDBUF = 8192
Wins Support = YES
DNS Proxy = NO
# ======================== s d definitions ========================= ==== [homes]
Comment = Home Directories
Browseable = no
Writable = yes
Valid users =% s
Create Mode = 0664
Directory mode = 0775
[public]
PATH = / public
Public = yes
ONLY GUEST = YES
Writable = yes
Printable = NO
9. Run "TestParm" to detect if the SMB.conf file is wrong.
10. Execute "Service SMB Restart to restart Samba.
11. Confirm that FireWall of Fedora does not disable Samba's file sharing.
Windows
1. Your PC must be in "Workgroup" this group, which is determined by Workgroup = Workgroup in smb.conf.
2. Open My Network Places under My Computer. Under "Workgroup", you should find MY-Serv.
3. Map "L:" Drive to // my-serv / homes, "l:" Drive puts your personal information, others have no passwords that cannot be accessed.
4. Map "P:" to // my-serv / public, "p:" Drive stores a public file.
Since then, you will be able to share files between Fedora and Windows.
