draksambashare
Einleitung
Samba is a protocol used in different Operating Systems to share some
resources like directories or printers. This tool allows you to configure
the machine as a Samba server using the protocol SMB/CIFS. This protocol is
also used by Windows(R) and workstations with this OS can access the
resources of the Samba server.
Vorbereitung
To be accessed from other workstations, the server has to have a fixed IP
address. This can be specified directly on the server, for example with
, or at the DHCP server which identifies
the station with its MAC-address and give it always the same address. The
firewall has also to allow the incoming requests to the Samba server.

In the next window the Standalone server configuration option is already

Then specify the name of the workgroup. This name should be the same for the
access to the shared resources.
The netbios name is the name which will be used to designate the server on
the network.

user: the client must be authorized to access the
resource

each share
You can specify which hosts are allowed to access the resources, with IP
address or host name.
Specify the server banner. The banner is the way this server will be
described in the Windows workstations.
The place where Samba can log information can be specified at the next step.
The wizard displays a list of the chosen parameters before you accept the
configuration. When accepted, the configuration will be written in
/etc/samba/smb.conf
.
Wizard - Primary domain controller
If the "Primary domain controller"
option is selected, the wizard asks for indication if Wins is to support or
not and to provide admin users names. The following steps are then the same
as for standalone server, except you can choose also the security mode:
