After saving the configuration file, we need to restart the service. Now, we can add the service to the systemctl startup configuration. One important note, earlier the service was called Samba, it was later renamed to smbd in ubuntu If you cannot start the smbd service, try the samba command. Now we can see our shared folder in a networked environment. We will locate our IP address by using the ifconfig command.
If you received an error message like the one above, we simply need to install an additional package called nettools. To connect to the share on Windows, we need to go to the network environment and enter our IP address. Here we will set the up a user locally on the file server and then save them to our previously created smbusers file.
The command flags we used are broken down here. This setting is a solid security measure. Now, we can go into the file system and try to log in. Once we can log in to the file server, we can create our folders and files as well as read other people's files and folders. Other users do not have the permissions needed to delete any of our files and folders.
This setting, however, can be changed in the configuration file using the ' create mask' and ' directory mask' parameters. As a bonus, we will analyze a problematic situation that may arise and how to solve it.
As an example, a lawyer works in an organization and want to see what documents are in the file system. As an unauthorized user, he can go into the shared folder and view the files, but he will not be able to change or edit them.
User1 and those who are in this group, will by default, be able to edit and delete files. So, let's include all the users in the same group. We can accomplish this by creating a new group. We then set the default group for both user1 and user2. Now, we can change the ownership settings for all the files and for the folder itself. Now, user2 will be able to edit files in the Buh folder, like user1.
You can also accomplish this with other users as well. Another essential aspect of these settings is that users can download and modify a file, then re-save it to the shared folder. But imagine a situation in which a user opened the file to see its contents but failed to close it. Another user wants to open this file from a different location.
The file will be locked from being edited because the first user has it open. If another user attempts to open the file, the file will be opened, but in a read-only mode. They will be able to view it, but they cannot edit it. In such situations, there exists a smbstatus utility that allows us to see who has the file open.
In the Service section, we can see that there is a file with the pid number In order to close the file and start working on it, we can forcibly close the file using the kill command with our pid number.
In this tutorial, we learned how to install Samba and customize it to meet our needs. We created users, set up user groups to work with and share files, and finally, solved some simple problems that may arise during file sharing.

Need to get 9. After this operation, 52,7 MB of additional disk space will be used. Do you want to continue? Samba provides this share to make it easy for users to share their Linux home directories with a Windows system. The following is an example:. These settings prevent users other than the owners from browsing home directories while allowing logged-in owners full access. The reload argument does not stop and start the smb service; it only reloads the configuration file. Use the systemctl command to configure the service to start at boot time.
To access a share on a Linux Samba server from Windows, open My Computer or Explorer and enter the host name of the Samba server and the share name in the following format:. You can also map a network drive to a share name by using the same syntax. For a Windows user to access a Samba share on a Linux system, the user must provide a Windows username and a Samba password. The Windows username must be the same as the Linux username or must map to a Linux username.
Users with the same username on Linux and Windows do not need an entry in this file, but they still need a Samba password. The first entry maps the Linux root user to the administrator and admin users in Windows. Is it a bug or as I tend to believe simply misconfiguration? Any hints in that direction? You most certainly have noticed it, but to point it out explicitly: All of the above is obfuscated sample data i.
Best regards, dP. Ideally, usernames should not contain spaces or special characters excluding. If your client workstation has a space in the username, just tell Windows to use alternative credentials when mapping the share. Joined May 29, Messages 6.
So what about the setups that enable active directory authentication and map windows users to UNIX users? This is the most common authentication setup beside the small home labs. Basically CLI configuration of This was an old thread from before I started working for iX.
We already generate a username map for "Microsoft Account" functionality. If you really need to do this, then in Last edited: Dec 20, This will persist across reboots, but not upgrades. I don't anticipate any changes to this particular file so you can just keep a backup copy on your data pool to replace it when you need to. I am on I don't think I will risk putting my data on that.
User mapping from windows to UNIX is critical. Thanks Anodos for a workaround. Click to expand What upgrades? Freenas We don't need winbind for that. All we need it to do is serve NAS shares with flexible user authentication. Belly button lint??
