Configure samba as a ROLE_STANDALONE on CentOS 5.2

Posted by Martin Perron on Jan 26, 2009 in HowTo - Linux • No comments

This config is for home use and have no security enable on standalone mode.

Install the rpm:

yum install samba

Go to the samba config folder:

cd /etc/samba/

Always good to backup the original config file:

mv smb.conf smb.con.ori

Create a new smb.conf file

vi smb.conf

Edit with the following

[global]
workgroup = workgroup
netbios name = Intranet
server string = Linux
security = share
local master = no
preferred master = no
domain master = no
os level = 0
log level = 0
syslog = 0

[doc]
path = /doc
read only = no
browseable = yes
public = yes

Then test your config file:

testparm

The start the service:

/etc/init.d/smb restart

Put smb service on boot

chkconfig –levels 235 smb on

You’re done!
