2. Install Samba on Redhat 6
Step 1. Install samba, portmap or rpcbind and xinetd service :

  xinetd.i686 2:2.3.14-29.el6

Complete!
Step 2. On RHEL 6, portmap is called and replaced by rpcbind. Make sure rpcbind and xinetd is start :
[root@rhel6 ~]# service rpcbind start
Starting rpcbind:                                          [  OK  ]
[root@rhel6 ~]# service xinetd start
Starting xinetd:                                           [  OK  ]
Step 3. Set rpcbind and xinetd start at boot :
[root@rhel6 ~]# chkconfig rpcbind on
[root@rhel6 ~]# chkconfig xinetd on
Step 4. Check rpcbind and xinetd service status :
[root@rhel6 ~]# service rpcbind status
rpcbind (pid  2737) is running...
[root@rhel6 ~]# service xinetd status
xinetd (pid  2750) is running...
Step 5. Create a normal user named sambauser1 :
[root@rhel6 ~]# useradd sambauser1
[root@rhel6 ~]# passwd sambauser1
Changing password for user sambauser1.
New password:
Retype new password:
passwd: all authentication tokens updated successfully.
Step 6. Create /smb directory and grant it full permission :
[root@rhel6 ~]# mkdir /smb
[root@rhel6 ~]# chmod 777 /smb
Step 7. Open and modify /etc/samba/smb.conf main samba configuration files :
[root@rhel6 ~]# vi /etc/samba/smb.conf
#
# Hosts Allow/Hosts Deny lets you restrict who can connect, and you can
# specifiy it as a per share option as well
#
        workgroup = MSHOME
        server string = Samba Server Version %v

;       netbios name = MYSERVER

;       interfaces = lo eth0 192.168.12.2/24 192.168.13.2/24
        hosts allow = 127. 192.168.12. 192.168.13. 192.168.1.
# Add this line to share at the bottom of the config file :
[smb]
comment = Personal stuff
path = /smb
public = no
writable = yes
printable = no
browseable = yes
write list = sambauser1
Step 8. Now add sambauser1 user to samba user :
[root@rhel6 ~]# smbpasswd -a sambauser1
New SMB password:
Retype new SMB password:
tdbsam_open: Converting version 0.0 database to version 4.0.
tdbsam_convert_backup: updated /var/lib/samba/private/passdb.tdb file.
account_policy_get: tdb_fetch_uint32 failed for type 1 (min password length), returning 0
account_policy_get: tdb_fetch_uint32 failed for type 2 (password history), returning 0
account_policy_get: tdb_fetch_uint32 failed for type 3 (user must logon to change password), returning 0
account_policy_get: tdb_fetch_uint32 failed for type 4 (maximum password age), returning 0
account_policy_get: tdb_fetch_uint32 failed for type 5 (minimum password age), returning 0
account_policy_get: tdb_fetch_uint32 failed for type 6 (lockout duration), returning 0
account_policy_get: tdb_fetch_uint32 failed for type 7 (reset count minutes), returning 0
account_policy_get: tdb_fetch_uint32 failed for type 8 (bad lockout attempt), returning 0
account_policy_get: tdb_fetch_uint32 failed for type 9 (disconnect time), returning 0
account_policy_get: tdb_fetch_uint32 failed for type 10 (refuse machine password change), returning 0
Added user sambauser1.
Step 9. Set smb service auto start at boot :
[root@rhel6 ~]# chkconfig smb on
[root@rhel6 ~]# service smb start
Starting SMB services:                                     [  OK  ]
Step 10. Check smb current status :
[root@rhel6 ~]# service smb status
smbd (pid  2823) is running...
Step 11. Stop iptables and makesure selinux is disabled :
[root@rhel6 ~]# service ip6tables stop
ip6tables: Flushing firewall rules:                        [  OK  ]
ip6tables: Setting chains to policy ACCEPT: filter         [  OK  ]
ip6tables: Unloading modules:                              [  OK  ]
[root@rhel6 ~]# service iptables stop
iptables: Flushing firewall rules:                         [  OK  ]
iptables: Setting chains to policy ACCEPT: filter          [  OK  ]
iptables: Unloading modules:                               [  OK  ]
[root@rhel6 ~]# setenforce 0
setenforce: SELinux is disabled
Step 12. Check whether samba port opened and running :
[root@rhel6 ~]# netstat -plunt | grep smbd
tcp        0      0 :::139                      :::*                        LISTEN      3212/smbd
tcp        0      0 :::445                      :::*                        LISTEN      3212/smbd
Step 13. Go on windows system and ping samba server. Make sure workgroup = MSHOME and allow 192.168.1.x network.





Step 14. Enter share path.



Step 15. First try to login from sambauser1 account :




Step 16. Samba successfully connected. You can start to upload now :
