Default samba.conf file

English Network/Internet
1

I have started trying to set up a samba share so my SOHO lan can see my opensuse RAID drive - and I’m having some luck - but I didn’t make a backup of the default conf file before I started. I would like to start over because I find that even though I add a share in the yast>samba>config - I’m still having to go to the directory that I want in Nautalis and right click and share there. I can see the drive but I am prompted for a user and password. I enter my linux username & password and they are rejected - so it obvous that I know nothing of what I’m doing - so I need to start over without doing damage.

# smb.conf is the main Samba configuration file. You find a full commented

Thanks for the link, I wonder if I rename the smb.conf file… will samba make a new one that I can start over with?

You need to add Samba users. In a terminal window su to root and enter the
command “smbpasswd -a <username>” [no quotes]. The username must be a valid
linux user, you will be prompted for a pass word, this does NOT need to be the
same as your linux pass word.
