At home I have a 2003 domain. I wanted a NAS to store files on the network but decided with the amount of spare drives I have it would be better to juts build a network server…
So now I have a Ubuntu system that I want to access from my PC’s.
Here is the information that I think is important. If you need more info please ask
-
The user accounts on the Linux system use the same names and passwords and the domain
-
uname -a shows

Ok now for my smb.conf file which I’m sure has errors because I have no clue what I’m doing
Sample configuration file for the Samba suite for Debian GNU/Linux.
This is the main Samba configuration file. You should read the
smb.conf(5) manual page in order to understand the options listed
here. Samba has a huge number of configurable options most of which
are not shown in this example
Any line which starts with a ; (semi-colon) or a # (hash)
is a comment and is ignored. In this example we will use a
for commentary and a ; for parts of the config file that you
may wish to enable
NOTE: Whenever you modify this file you should run the command
“testparm” to check that you have not made any basic syntactic
errors.
#======================= Global Settings =======================

Winbind settings
For testing
workgroup = levy.home
Browsing/Identification
Change this to the workgroup/NT-domain name your Samba server will part of
server string is the equivalent of the NT Description field
Windows Internet Name Serving Support Section:
WINS Support - Tells the NMBD component of Samba to enable its WINS Server
; wins support = no
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 = w.x.y.z
This will prevent nmbd to search for NetBIOS names through DNS.
What naming service and in what order should we use to resolve host names
to IP addresses
; name resolve order = lmhosts host wins bcast
Networking
The specific set of interfaces / networks to bind to
This can be either the interface name or an IP address/netmask;
interface names are normally preferred
; interfaces = 127.0.0.0/8 eth0
Only bind to the named interfaces and/or networks; you must use the
‘interfaces’ option above to use this.
It is recommended that you enable this feature if your Samba machine is
not protected by a firewall or is a firewall itself. However, this
option cannot handle dynamic or non-broadcast interfaces correctly.
; bind interfaces only = true
Debugging/Accounting
This tells Samba to use a separate log file for each machine
that connects
Cap the size of the individual log files (in KiB).
If you want Samba to only log through syslog then set the following
parameter to ‘yes’.
; syslog only = no
We want Samba to log a minimum amount of information to syslog. Everything
should go to /var/log/samba/log.{smbd,nmbd} instead. If you want to log
through syslog you should set the following parameter to something higher.
Do something sensible when Samba crashes: mail the admin a backtrace
####### Authentication #######
“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
You may wish to use password encryption. See the section on
‘encrypt passwords’ in the smb.conf(5) manpage before enabling.
If you are using encrypted passwords, Samba will need to know what
password database type you are using.
guest account = nobody
This boolean parameter controls whether Samba attempts to sync the Unix
password with the SMB password when the encrypted SMB password in the
passdb is changed.
For Unix password sync to work on a Debian GNU/Linux system, the following
parameters must be set (thanks to Ian Kahan <<kahan@informatik.tu-muenchen.de> for
sending the correct chat script for the passwd program in Debian Sarge).
This boolean controls whether PAM will be used for password changes
when requested by an SMB client instead of the program listed in
‘passwd program’. The default is ‘no’.
This option controls how nsuccessful authentication attempts are mapped
to anonymous connections
########## Domains ###########
Is this machine able to authenticate users. Both PDC and BDC
must have this setting enabled. If you are the BDC you must
change the ‘domain master’ setting to no
domain logons = yes
The following setting only takes effect if ‘domain logons’ is set
It specifies the location of the user’s profile directory
from the client point of view)
The following required a [profiles] share to be setup on the
samba server (see below)
; logon path = \%N\profiles%U
Another common choice is storing the profile in the user’s home directory
; logon path = \%N%U\profile
The following setting only takes effect if ‘domain logons’ is set
It specifies the location of a user’s home directory (from the client
point of view)
; logon drive = H:
; logon home = \%N%U
The following setting only takes effect if ‘domain logons’ is set
It specifies the script to run during logon. The script must be stored
in the [netlogon] share
NOTE: Must be store in ‘DOS’ file format convention
; logon script = logon.cmd
This allows Unix users to be created on the domain controller via the SAMR
RPC pipe. The example command creates a user account with a disabled Unix
password; please adapt to your needs
; add user script = /usr/sbin/adduser --quiet --disabled-password --gecos “” %u
########## Printing ##########
If you want to automatically load your printer list rather
than setting them up individually then you’ll need this
; load printers = yes
lpr(ng) printing. You may wish to override the location of the
printcap file
; printing = bsd
; printcap name = /etc/printcap
CUPS printing. See also the cupsaddsmb(8) manpage in the
cupsys-client package.
; printing = cups
; printcap name = cups
############ Misc ############
Using the following line enables you to customise your configuration
on a per machine basis. The %m gets replaced with the netbios name
of the machine that is connecting
; include = /home/samba/etc/smb.conf.%m
Most people will find that this option gives better performance.
See smb.conf(5) and /usr/share/doc/samba-doc/htmldocs/Samba3-HOWTO/speed.html
for details
You may want to add the following on a Linux system:
SO_RCVBUF=8192 SO_SNDBUF=8192
The following parameter is useful only if you have the linpopup package
installed. The samba maintainer and the linpopup maintainer are
working to ease installation and configuration of linpopup and samba.
; message command = /bin/sh -c ‘/usr/bin/linpopup “%f” “%m” %s; rm %s’ &
Domain Master specifies Samba to be the Domain Master Browser. If this
machine will be configured as a BDC (a secondary logon server), you
must set this to ‘no’; otherwise, the default behavior is recommended.
; domain master = auto
Some defaults for winbind (make sure you’re not using the ranges
for something else.)
; idmap uid = 10000-20000
; idmap gid = 10000-20000
; template shell = /bin/bash
The following was the default behaviour in sarge,
but samba upstream reverted the default because it might induce
performance issues in large organizations.
See Debian bug #368251 for some of the consequences of not
having this setting and smb.conf(5) for details.
; winbind enum groups = yes
; winbind enum users = yes
Setup usershare options to enable non-root users to share folders
with the net usershare command.
Maximum number of usershare. 0 (default) means that usershare is disabled.
usershare max shares = 998
Allow users who’ve been granted usershare privileges to create
public shares, not just authenticated ones
#======================= Share Definitions =======================
Un-comment the following (and tweak the other settings below to suit)
to enable the default home directory shares. This will share each
user’s home directory as \server\username
;[homes]
; comment = Home Directories
; browseable = no
By default, the home directories are exported read-only. Change the
next parameter to ‘no’ if you want to be able to write to them.
; read only = yes
File creation mask is set to 0700 for security reasons. If you want to
create files with group=rw permissions, set next parameter to 0775.
create mask = 0777
Directory creation mask is set to 0700 for security reasons. If you want to
create dirs. with group=rw permissions, set next parameter to 0775.
; directory mask = 0777
By default, \server\username shares can be connected to by anyone
with access to the samba server. Un-comment the following parameter
to make sure that only “username” can connect to \server\username
This might need tweaking when using external authentication schemes
; valid users = %S
Un-comment the following and create the netlogon directory for Domain Logons
(you need to configure Samba to act as a domain controller too.)
;[netlogon]
; comment = Network Logon Service
; path = /home/samba/netlogon
; guest ok = yes
; read only = yes
; share modes = no
Un-comment the following and create the profiles directory to store
users profiles (see the “logon path” option above)
(you need to configure Samba to act as a domain controller too.)
The path below should be writable by all users so that their
profile directory may be created the first time they log on
;[profiles]
; comment = Users profiles
; path = /home/samba/profiles
; guest ok = no
; browseable = no
; create mask = 0600
; directory mask = 0700
[Music]
comment = Music
writable = yes
public = yes
path = /var/shared/Music
available = yes
browseable = yes
guest ok = yes
guest account = nobody
[Video]
comment = Video Files
writable = yes
public = yes
path = /var/shared/Video
available = yes
browseable = yes
guest ok = yes
guest account = nobody
[Books]
comment = E-Books and Documentation
writable = yes
public = yes
path = /var/shared/Books
available = yes
browseable = yes
guest ok = yes
guest account = nobody
[Common]
comment = Common Files
writable = yes
public = yes
path = /var/shared/common
available = yes
browseable = yes
guest ok = yes
guest account = nobody
[Applications]
comment = Applications
writable = yes
public = yes
path = /var/shared/Applications
available = yes
guest account = nobody
[Karaoke]
comment = Karaokes
writable = yes
public = yes
path = /var/shared/Karaoke
available = yes
guest ok = yes
browseable = yes
guest account = nobody
What I want to happen is have any user on my local network be able to access any shared folder on the Ubuntu system.
