## Intro

As is often the case the [Arch Wiki](https://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/samba#Server) has a fantactically detailed entry on setting up and configuring a samba server.

## Simple Config
Login at the server which should act as the samba server.

- First, install samba:
```sh 
yum check-update && yum install samba
```
- Next, modify/create a file at `/etc/samba/smb.conf` with the following contents (adapt this for your needs):
```sh 
[global]
        workgroup = SAMBA
        server string = petar
        security = user
        guest ok = yes
        map to guest = Bad Password
        log file = /var/log/samba/%m.log
        max log size = 50
        printcap name = /dev/null
        load printers = no


        # Install samba-usershares package for support
        include = /etc/samba/usershares.conf

[Share]
    comment = Folder to share
    path = /path/to/share
    browseable = yes
    read only = no
    guest ok = no
```
- Samba requires setting a password separately from that used for login. You may use an existing user or create a new one for this purpose.
```sh
smbpasswd -a sbxadmin
```
- Existing samba users can be listed with:
```sh 
pdbedit -L -v
```
- Once finished, ensure the samba service is restarted with:
```sh
systemctl restart smbd
```

## Security config on server

### Firewalld
- CentOS uses as standard local firewall `firewalld`.

```sh
firewall-cmd --permanent --add-service={samba,samba-client,samba-dc} --zone=public
```

### SELinux
SELinux not allow samba to access folders by default, to solve this, run:
```sh 
setsebool -P samba_export_all_ro 1
```

## Client
Depends on client OS. Just use Windows. Noob!
