Hello friends!
Here we are going to see how we share files on LAN with Samba.
1. Goto System > Administration > Server Settings > Samba
2. Enter your root password in a popped 'Query' window( to gain root privilege)
3. Preferences > Server settings > Basic
you have two things now. Work group & Description
fill Workgroup with your workgroup name and brief description about it in Description.
4.now goto Security fill Authentication Mode - 'Share'
Encrypted password - NO.
Gest Account - select a valid account. > OK
5. Now Add Share files.
but firewall will ask for a password now
ok to handel this go to System > Administration > Security Level and Firewall > Firewall Options
male sure that box is clicked active for Samba .
6. Now SElinux > Modify SElinux Policy > Samba
click the box for Allow samba to share users home directories.
> OK
well it was the simplest configuration.
