Samba

This will go through installing and configuring Samba

Configuring Samba

Install Samba

sudo apt-get install samba samba-tools

Configure smb.conf

sudo vi /etc/samba/smb.conf
...
# Change this to the workgroup/NT-domain name your Samba server will part of
workgroup = INTERNAL
...
# WINS Support - Tells the NMBD component of Samba to enable its WINS Server
wins support = yes
# WINS Server - Tells the NMBD components of Samba to be a WINS Client
# Note: Samba can be either a WINS Server, or a WINS Client, but NOT both
wins server = 10.0.0.7
...
# "security = user" is always a good idea. This will require a Unix account
# in this server for every user accessing the server. See
# /usr/share/doc/samba-doc/htmldocs/Samba3-HOWTO/ServerType.html
# in the samba-doc package for details.
security = user
