Fedora 17 Samba

Overview

As root:

yum -y install samba
vi /etc/samba/smb.conf
setsebool -P samba_domain_controller on
setsebool -P samba_enable_home_dirs on

I encourage you to read the notes at the beginning of smb.conf concerning SELinux.

After this, you need to create a separate samba password for every user who wishes to access their stuff.

smbpasswd -a <username>

All done!

You can access the share from windows via //<ip or hostname>/
