Linux is a free Unix-type operating system originally created by

Linus Torvalds when he was a student at the University of Helsinki.

It originated in 1991 as a personal project of Linus Torvalds.

Developed under the GNU General Public License, the source code

for Linux is freely available to everyone.

One of Linuxs most interesting features is that it is not acommercial product; instead, it is a collaborative project developed

over the Internet.

To understand Linux, we must first discuss the first Unix system.

Unix is a multi-user, multi-tasking operating system. Many users

can be logged into a system simultaneously, each running manyprograms.

First Version was created in Bell Labs in 1969. Some of the Bell

Labs programmers who had worked on this project, Ken

Thompson, Dennis Ritchie, Rudd Canaday, and Doug McIlroy

designed and implemented the first version of the Unix File System

on a PDP-7 along with a few utilities.

In 1973 Unix is re-written mostly in C, a new language developed

by Dennis Ritchie.

00:00:00 Hours, Jan 1, 1970 is time zero for UNIX. It is also called

as epoch.

The Unix file system looks like an inverted tree structure. You

start with the root directory, denoted by /, at the top and work

down through sub-directories underneath it.


5/26

A simple description of the UNIX

system, also applicable to Linux, is this:

"On a UNIX system, everything is a file;

if something is not a file, it is a process.

In 1991 Linux was originated.

Red Hat Enterprise Linux 6 is the latest release of Red Hat's

trusted datacenter platform, delivers advances in application

performance, scalability, and security.

With Red Hat Enterprise Linux 6, you can deploy physical,

virtual, and cloud computing within your datacenter, reducing

complexity, increasing efficiency, and minimizing administration

overhead while leveraging existing technical skills and operational

know-how.

Samba is the Linux implementation of the networking protocols

used to connect Microsoft operating systems.

Microsoft networking is based on the Common Internet File

System (CIFS), which was developed from the Server Message

Block (SMB) protocol.

CIFS (Common Internet File System) is the standard file and

print sharing system for Microsoft Windows clients in Windows

server environments.

Samba is an open-source suite of programs that can be installed

on a Red Hat Enterprise Linux 6 server to provide seamless file

and print services to Microsoft Windows clients.

Samba is a strong network service for file and print sharing that

works on the majority of operating systems available today.

Samba Packages are:

samba.x86_64 samba-client.x86_64

samba-common.x86_64 samba-winbind.x86_64

samba-winbind-clients.x86_64

Step 1 : First we check there is samba server package is installed or

not. If not, then we install samba* package with help of yum server.

# rpmqa | grep samba*

# yum install samba* -y

Here samba is installing


12/26

Here samba* installation is completed.


13/26

Step 2 : Enable the service to start during boot# chkconfig smb on

Step 3 : Start and verify Samba services are running foruse in subsequent steps:

# service smb start

Starting SMB services: [ OK ]

# service smb statussmbd (pid 2733) is running...

# service smb restart

# service smb stop


14/26

Two services responsible for running Samba are:smbd Samba server daemon

nmbd NetBIOS service daemon

Samba configuration file:

/etc/samba/smb.conf

Step 1 : Make a safety copy of original configuration file:

# cp -p /etc/samba/smb.conf /etc/samba/smb.conf.orig

# ls -la /etc/samba/smb.*

-rw-r--r--. 1 root root 9778 Feb 18 12:43 smb.conf

-rw-r--r--. 1 root root 9778 Feb 18 12:43 smb.conf.orig


15/26

Step 2 : In the next step we open the samba server configurationfile.

# vim /etc/samba/conf/smb.conf

Configuration file open:


16/26


17/26

Step 4 :We have to create a valid user who has been shared the

directories.

# useradd azon

# smbpasswda azon

User azon has been added.

workgroup = MYGROUP //(Line 74) This shouldmatch windows workgrouphosts allow = 127. 192.168.1. //(Line 80)This will allow

only the networks 127.

and 192.168.1. to access

the services and

remove semicolon (;)

Add these lines at the last of the configuration file:


20/26

# ls

lz /dir1# getsebool a | grep samba

# setsebool P use_samba_home_dirs on

# setsebool P samba_create_home_dirs on

# getsebool

a | grep samba

LINUX CLIENT

Now that all our Samba shares are set up, we can access them fromone of the client systems (Client02). Be aware that we need to installthe client Samba packages before we can connect to any Samba

shares.Step 1: Install the client packages:

# yum install -y samba-client samba-common

Step 2: Verify that the install was successful:

# rpm -qa | grep samba

samba-client-3.5.4-68.el6.x86_64

samba-winbind-clients-3.5.4-68.el6.x86_64

samba-common-3.5.4-68.el6.x86_64


24/26

# mkdir /opt/company_data

Step 4: Now we try to connect the user.# smbclient //192.168.0.12/azon U SERVER

C

Connection is successfully done.
