#LinuxServer

to install

go to root on the linux server

• apt install samba
• systemctl enable smbd
• systemctl status smbd
• nano /etc/samba/smb.conf and do the configurations
• in our case:
• ![[Pasted image 20240328162709.png]]

creating users and groups

• adduser agah
• password: operations
• smbpasswd -a agah
• groupadd partage
• gpasswd -a agah partage

create the shared folder for everyone to access

• mkdir /srv/partage
• chgrp -R partage /srv/partage/

- chmod -R g+rw /srv/partage to give the read and write rights to the partage shared folder

• we can see the rights with ls -al /srv/

• ![[Pasted image 20240328163003.png]]

• now the file is created on the server.

• we go to the windows client on the server but we put the network card on the VMnet2 for it to be on the same LAN with the server.

• we login to the user account and go to windows explorer and go to \\srvlx01 and voilà we see the files !

• ![[Pasted image 20240328163150.png]]

• to add the shared files to the This PC :

• we go to the windows client's terminal

• net use u: \\srvlx01\user

• net use p: \\srvlx01\partage

• and the result is as following :

• ![[Pasted image 20240328163755.png]]

• if it doesn't work with srvlx01 we can put the IP address of the srvlx01 as well, in our case 192.168.3.101, because sometimes it doesn't work on Win11.

• and to overcome this problem we need to activate the NetBIOS on TCP/IP in the IPv4 Advanced Settings as in the image following

• ![[NetBIOS activation.png]]

Editing the user rights

• we go back to the /home/user/smb.conf
• and edit the rights like
• ![[Pasted image 20240328162709.png]]
• L'option "create mask" va permettre de définir les droits par défaut sur les

fichiers (lecture/écriture pour l'utilisateur propriétaire et le groupe propriétaire seulement)

• L'option "directory mask" va permettre de définir les droits par défaut sur

les dossiers

• L'option "force group" va permettre de forcer le groupe "partage" comme

groupe propriétaire des fichiers et dossiers

• at the end we need to restart the service with systemctl restart smbd
• and we need disable SMB1 because it's vulnerable. details are giving in the TP_Samba.
