14:37 Verifying Shares and Access

Below is my Samba CheatSheet I created

Install Samba:
sudo apt install samba y

Stop Samba Service:
sudo systemctl stop smbd

Create new directory to share:
mkdir linuxshare

Create New /etc/samba/smb.conf

In [global] tag add or change the folowing lines:
server role = standalone server
map to guest = bad user
usershare allow guests = yes
hosts allow = 192.168.0.0/16
hosts deny = 0.0.0.0/0


Add new tag at the end:
[linuxsharename]
comment = Open Linux Share
path = /home/titus/linuxshare
read only = no
guest ok = yes
force create mode = 0755
force user = titus
force group = titus

TEST SETTINGS Type: testparm

Restart Samba Service
sudo systemctl enable smbd
sudo systemctl start smbd

OPTIONAL: Allow samba through firewall
RHEL/Centos/Fedora
sudo firewallcmd addservice=samba

Debian/Ubuntu/Mint
sudo ufw allow Samba

Now on any Windows Machines enable windows feature "SMB 1.0" .
