Thread: Need Guidance to Configure Samba

Without knowing your intentions, there is no way to help you. It could be a domain controller or simple samba share. Just make sure to enable your users with -e, or you won’t obtain any access. Let us know what you want to do.

There are lots of how-tos and tutorials out there for samba. I would suggest finding one at first, trying it out, and if you have issues; feel free to ask us how to fix it.

To give you a head start, here is a list of things to do with your setup:

in the smb.conf:

Domain Name
set "security" to USER
Preferred Master
Domain Master
Domain Logins

If you want home directories to be on the server:

set a netlogin share
set login drive
set login home

Also, be sure to use the command ‘testparm’ to check your config.
