Brontekst bekijken van Samba: add users

Step # 1: Add a user joe to UNIX/Linux system

adduser command adds user to the system according to command line options and configuration information in /etc/adduser.conf. They are friendlier front ends to the low level tools like useradd.

Type any one of the following command:

 # useradd joe
 # passwd joe

OR

 adduser joe

Step # 2: Add a user to samba

Now user joe has account on Linux/UNIX box. Use smbpasswd command to specifies that the username following should be added to the local smbpasswd file:

 # smbpasswd -a joe

Step # 3: Add a user to a Samba share

By default user gets access to /home/joe from windows system. Let us say you 
want to give joe access to /data/accounts (make sure directory /data/accounts exists) directory. Open /etc/samba/smb.conf file and add/modify share called [accounts]:

 [accounts]
 comment = Accounts data directory
 path = /data/accounts
 valid users = vivek raj joe
 public = no
 writable = yes

Save the file.
Step #4: Restart the samba

 # service smb restart

OR
 # /etc/init.d/smb reload
