In this tutorial we will learn, how to install and setup samba server ( file sharing server ) on CentOS 7 and RHEL 7 (Red Hat Enterprise Linux 7) . Samba server is popularly use for file and printer server and now a days it is also used as domain controller in network (like Windows Active Directory).<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Project URL :<\/strong> http:\/\/www.samba.org\/<\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\n With arrival of Samba version 3, the definition of Samba server is changed. Now we call samba is a free software suite licensed under GNU General Public License<\/a> version 3. It is populalry used for file and print services for all clients using the SMB\/CIFS protocol.From Samba version 3, we can integrate with a Windows Server domain, either as a Primary Domain Controller (PDC) or as a domain member. It can also be part of an Active Directory domain.<\/p>\n\n\n\n We will follow almost same steps as we did in our previous post on \u201cHow to install and configure samba server in CentOS 6.3<\/a>\u201c. In CentOS 7 \/ RHEL 7 , a few steps are changed because of some introuction of new commands and unavailabilty of packages in minimal installed Operating System but logically everything is same.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Scenario:<\/strong> We will shared a directory called sharedrepo where we will permit user called test and group called staff, can access the shared directory from Samba server and can read write the files or directory.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Operating System :<\/strong> CentOS 7 NOTE:<\/strong> CentOS 7 is installed with minimal packages (minimal installed)<\/p>\n\n\n\n 137\/tcp Samba services are implemented as two daemons: Step 1 : Use yum command to install samba packages<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n (a) policycoreutils-python = For semanage command (Read semanage command not found<\/a>) (c) cups-libs : For printer service<\/p>\n\n\n\n (d) samba and samba-commons : For Samba server<\/p>\n\n\n\n Step 2: create a directory<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n Create a directory called sharedrepo in \/ (main root) . This directory will be shared with clients.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Step 3: Add a new group or can use existing group<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n To provide access on shared directory,Here we are adding new group called staff.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Step 4: Change the group and permission of sharing folder<\/strong> Step 5: Change the selinux security context<\/strong> Step 6: create user, add into group and set samba password<\/strong> Step 7: Edit \/etc\/samba\/smb.conf file<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n First take backup of \/etc\/samba\/smb.conf file then edit the smb.conf file.<\/p>\n\n\n\n And add the below given contents in last line of \/etc\/samba\/smb.conf file.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Step 8: Allow network to connect with Samba Server<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n Edit these lines in \/etc\/samba\/smb.conf . To allow network to reach samba server.<\/p>\n\n\n\n 1.interfaces = Change the value of 192.168.56.0\/24 with your subnet. And change the ethernet value which is in used by your system and which you want to allow for traffic. Note:<\/strong> For windows users,if your all PC in your network are using different WORKGROUP name edit the given below line in smb.conf with your workgroup name. Windows system bydefault uses the WORKGROUP as WORKGROUP. Try first without changing the WORKGROUP name,if required do the changes.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Step 9 : Add services in \/etc\/services files<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n Step 11: Now start the smb and nmb services.<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n Step 11 : Enable smb and nmb service at booting of system<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n Below given section is referece:<\/p>\n\n\n\n Step 12 : Add firewalld rule to allow samba<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n In RHEL 7\/ CentOS 7, firewalld is shipped by default. Now onwards we recommend you to use firewalld instead of iptables.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Here, we are allowing source network 192.168.56.0\/24 to connect to samba service, whereas in logging samba prefix is used.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Adding permanent firewalld rule<\/p>\n\n\n\n Now reload firewalld<\/p>\n\n\n\n Note:<\/strong> firewalld service must be runnig for above procedure. To start firewalld use systemd command i.e 1. Windows :<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n In Windows Operatig System, open the run by pressing in combination of Give username and password when it will ask.<\/p>\n\n\n\n 2. Linux :<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n smbclient must be installed on system .<\/p>\n\n\n\n (A) List the shared files or directory available in samba server<\/p>\n\n\n\n In above command, Below given is sample output<\/p>\n\n\n\n (B) Access using smb console<\/p>\n\n\n\n After login, you will get smb console. You can use get and put command for getting\/putting the file. There are other commands you can use also.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Sample output<\/p>\n\n\n\n (C) Mount the samba shared directory QUELLE\/SOURCE: http:\/\/sharadchhetri.com\/2014\/10\/09\/centos-7-rhel-7-install-and-setup-samba-server-file-sharing\/<\/a> by sharad chhetri<\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" In this tutorial we will learn, how to install and setup samba server ( file sharing server ) on CentOS<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"colormag_page_container_layout":"default_layout","colormag_page_sidebar_layout":"default_layout","footnotes":""},"categories":[3],"tags":[15,110,111,117,170,171],"class_list":["post-127","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","hentry","category-kb","tag-centos","tag-install-samba","tag-install-samba-on-centos-7","tag-linux","tag-samba-installation-centos","tag-samba-server"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.winni.at\/wordpress\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/127","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.winni.at\/wordpress\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.winni.at\/wordpress\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.winni.at\/wordpress\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/users\/1"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.winni.at\/wordpress\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fcomments&post=127"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.winni.at\/wordpress\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/127\/revisions"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.winni.at\/wordpress\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fmedia&parent=127"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.winni.at\/wordpress\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fcategories&post=127"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.winni.at\/wordpress\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Ftags&post=127"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}Introduction of Samba<\/h3>\n\n\n\n
