Samba configuration and setup

Post by Peter_TI » 2019/11/05 12:25:22

Hello,

I've installed Samba. Created a samba user and authorized a folder to share:

Code: Select all

adduser --system peter_samba
chown -R peter_samba /home/samba/
sudo 777 -R /home/samba/
The samba config is:

Code: Select all

# See smb.conf.example for a more detailed config file or
# read the smb.conf manpage.
# Run 'testparm' to verify the config is correct after
# you modified it.

# use local network only
#server role = standalone server
#interfaces = 127.0.0.0/8 enp0s25
#bind interfaces only = yes


[global]
        workgroup = SAMBA
#       security = SHARE
#       encrypt passwords = true
        netbios name = WORKGROUP
        passdb backend = tdbsam

        printing = cups
        printcap name = cups
        load printers = yes
        cups options = raw

[homes]
        comment = Home Directories
        valid users = %S, %D%w%S
        browseable = No
        read only = No
        inherit acls = Yes

[printers]
        comment = All Printers
        path = /var/tmp
        printable = Yes
        create mask = 0600
        browseable = No

[print$]
        comment = Printer Drivers
        path = /var/lib/samba/drivers
        write list = @printadmin root
        force group = @printadmin
        create mask = 0664
        directory mask = 0775

[peter_samba]
	path = /home/samba/

	browseable = yes
	public = yes
	writable = yes
	write list = peter peter_samba
	force user = peter_samba
        read only = no
	directory mask = 0777

Undespite that i cannot create a folder from any samba client, Windows or Mac. I get permission denied errors. My sambastring is smb://192.168.178.20/peter_samba. So i am confused. I can see the folders on both cliënts but the service seems limited.
Anyone some advice on how to solve this?

Did you read that and the selinux notes within it?
The future appears to be RHEL or Debian. I think I'm going Debian.

CentOS 5 and 6 are deadest, do not use them.

Thank you. It did help. I am quite new to centos and selinux.
This is what did the trick:

Code: Select all

sudo  setsebool -P samba_export_all_rw on
Have a nice day.
