Samba Shares

Quick setup guide

This is mainly a guide so that I can remember how to setup samba shares for access from Windows to Linux.

• Working smb.conf:

  [global]
          workgroup = WORKGROUP
          netbios name = HOSTNAME
          localmaster = yes
          preferred master = yes
          wins support = yes
          security = share
          browseable = yes
          server string = Samba Server
  
  [printers]
          printcap name = /etc/printcap
          load printers = yes
          printing = cups
          printable = yes
          public = yes
          cups options = raw
  
  [Z]
          comment = DATA
          path = /media/ext3
          browseable = yes
          guest ok = yes
