HOWTO: Setup Samba peer-to-peer with WindowsAs many fellow Ubuntu users seem to have trouble setting up samba peer-to-peer with Windows I decided to write a small howto on this matter.NOTE: I am aware that there's a wiki-page as well as several other howto's around - but by looking at the constant "how do I setup samba" posts that are floating around in the forum I simply see the need for a more thourough guide on this matter.Feel free to contribute and suggest - it'll only help to make this howto a better guide.The goal of this howto is to have samba act like a Windows Workstation in the LAN.
Twitter. Simple Home File Server (Based On Ubuntu) - Page 2. Enter the hostname. In this example, my system is called server1.example.com, so I enter server1: Now you have to partition your hard disk. For simplicity's sake I will create one big partition (with the mount point /) and a little swap partition so I select Guided - use entire disk (of course, the partitioning is totally up to you - if you like, you can create more than just one big partition, and you can also use LVM): Select the disk that you want to partition.
Please do not use the NTFS hard disk intended for data storage: Afterwards, your new partitions are being created and formatted: Configure your system's clock. Create a user, for example the user Administrator with the user name administrator (don't use the user name admin as it is a reserved name on Gutsy Gibbon): Now the base system is being installed: We need a Samba File server, but nevertheless I don't select any of them now because I like to have full control over what gets installed on my system. The installation continues:
SettingUpSamba. Samba is an implementation of the Server Message Block (SMB)/Common Internet File System (CIFS) protocol for Unix systems, providing support for cross-platform file and printer sharing with Microsoft Windows, OS X, and other Unix systems. Samba can be used to: Act as a server for SMB clients: share folders and printers, including PDF pseudo-printers so all the computers in your network may write PDF files Act as a domain controller in a Windows network (authenticating users, etc.) Do some more complex things, such as using a Windows domain controller to authenticate the users of a Linux/UNIX machine Samba is freely available under the GNU General Public License. More information be found at Configuring Samba Clients - A guide to accessing shared files on Ubuntu and Windows. The first thing you should do, before looking into your conf files, is ensure that the directory you are sharing actually exists. CategoryNetworking. ArtVandalae - Uber Linux.

How to Build: A Home Server - Solutions by PC Magazine. Building a home server to back up, share, or remotely access your data isn't an impossible dream. We show you how to do it in nine easy steps. Today it is not uncommon to walk into the average U.S. home and find multiple computers networked together, sharing data. Investigate further and you'll find that most of these networks are configured via inexpensive solutions such as a router or an access point, with no central point to maintain structure.
These setups can become complex as the network size increases, especially because sharing permissions must be configured, and the network's overall reliability can decline. In short, having a centralized location at home to back up, share, and remotely access data is more important today than it was a few years ago. The ASUS T3-P5945GCX bare-bones kit (case/motherboard/power supply/multi-card reader for $161) has a relatively small footprint, as today's servers should. It can support two hard drives and features a front sliding door. Build your own server. Before we can start to install something, we first need an installation medium. The easiest way of installing a system is through the use of a bootable CD.
So, let's get ourselves some ISO images, shall we? Head on over to the guys at Xubuntu and download a Fiesty Fawn (7.04) Desktop CD from one of the mirrors. If you have some bandwith to spare, be kind - use the torrent download, and share the love. The file isn't small despite the meager resources of the system needed to run it, so anything helps. After you have downloaded the ISO file, burn the image to a CD and boot from it. Once you're ready, it's time to head on to the installation. Installing Xubuntu is actually quite easy, just a 7 step process. Next, we set our localisation. Disk partitioning... if you're building a system from the command line, this can be tricky. Now, lets get personal. Now, sit back and relax...
