Debain 6.0.4: quick samba installation and configuration

Here is a quick description to how to install samba server and configure it in order to share folder on the network.

Giving 
apt-cache search samba
results:

[...]

libsmbclient-dev - development files for libsmbclient
libsmbclient - shared library for communication with SMB/CIFS servers
libwbclient0 - Samba winbind client library
samba-common-bin - common files used by both the Samba server and client
samba-common - common files used by both the Samba server and client
samba-dbg - Samba debugging symbols
samba-doc-pdf - Samba documentation in PDF format
samba-doc - Samba documentation
samba-tools - Samba testing utilities
samba - SMB/CIFS file, print, and login server for Unix
smbclient - command-line SMB/CIFS clients for Unix
swat - Samba Web Administration Tool
winbind - Samba nameservice integration server
smb2www - SMB/CIFS network client with a web interface

[...]

So run

apt-get install samba smbfs smbclient

to install these three packets....

during installation, it performs default configuration

after....

So next commands.....

adduser guest --home=/home/public --shell=/bin/false --disabled-password

to create a guest user to use only as samba default user....

chmod -R 0700 /home/public

chown -R guest.guest /home/public

These commands configure the sharing in way of every user can create a content(file or folder)

into the shared folder.

No one may edit the content created by something others.... 

If you want some of differently, change the permission mask.....

Now edit /etc/samba/smb.conf

adding after the row 

obey pam restrictions = yes

insert these others rows: 

guest account = guest
invalid users = root

and in the ****Authorization**** section,  these two rows.....: 

; security = user

security = share

In the sharing section add:

# SHARED DIR
[shared]
   comment = shared
   read only = no
   path = /home/public
   guest ok = yes
   guest only = yes
   create mask = 0600
   directory mask = 0700
 

Fine...... restart samba:

 /etc/init.d/samba restart

and all is done.....

 Bye....
