How to build a samba server on Pear Linux 7

In order to share folders on Pear Linux 7, we have to install and configure Samba on Pear Linux 7. This short tutorial is going to show you how to install and configure Samba on Pear Linux 7.

First thing to do is installing Samba. You can install Samba via command line or using Pear Software Center. Open Terminal and type this command

sudo apt-get install samba cifs-utils

Now edit the file /etc/samba/smb.conf

sudo nano /etc/samba/smb.conf

Find the Authentication section

####### Authentication #######

# “security = user” is always a good idea. This will require a Unix account
# in this server for every user accessing the server. See
# /usr/share/doc/samba-doc/htmldocs/Samba-HOWTO-Collection/ServerType.html
# in the samba-doc package for details.
;  security = user

 

Uncomment the ;security = user so it look like this

security = user
username map = /etc/samba/smbusers

Next, add the user to Samba

sudo smbpasswd -a fitri

Change fitri with your user name.

Create a share folder

sudo mkdir /share
sudo chmod -R 775 /share

Now add the following lines to /etc/samba/smb.conf

[share]
path = /share
writeable = yes
browseable = yes
guest ok = no

Now restart samba server

sudo service smbd restart

That's it. Now every user on Pear Linux can access the /share folder from other computer using their credential.
