How to set Samba at OpenBSD
First of all, we need to run syspatch to make sure we have the latest patches installed:
syspatch
After, we are able to install samba:
pkg_add samba
When the installation done we have to edit same lines in smb.conf that is in /etc/samba/, to make it easy, I like to use nano. So, lets install nano:
pkg_add nano
Now we can run nano to edit the config file:
nano /etc/samba/smb.conf
To be easiest, I will post my configuration example:
[global]
workgroup = WORKGROUP
netbios name = File Server
server string = OpenBSD Samba Server
max log size = 100
local master = yes
os level = 100
invalid users = nobody root
load printers = no
max connections = 10
preferred master = yes
preserve case = no
disable netbios = yes
dns proxy = no
domain master = yes
default case = lower
encrypt passwords = yes
security = user
hosts allow = 172.16.0.0/24 127.0.0.1 #allow your network to access
hosts deny = all
bind interfaces only = yes
interfaces = jme0 #add the correct interface
guest ok = yes
guest only = yes
socket options = TCP_NODELAY IPTOS_LOWDELAY SO_RCVBUF=65536 SO_SNDBUF=65536
strict sync = no
sync always = no
syslog = 1
syslog only = yes
[Files]
comment = files
create mask = 644
path = /home/iglesias/network #change to the directory you want
writeable = yes
valid users = iglesias #change to user you want to give access
read only = no
browseable = yes
So, before we restart the samba to run our new smb.conf we have to add the users to samba:
smbpasswd -a iglesias
Restarting the service:
/etc/rc.d/samba restart
And now we have samba running and up to share our files.
Finally, to make sure that our server will still running samba after reboot, lets add a line in our rc.local that is in /etc/rc.local
Edit the file:
nano /etc/rc.local
Add in the last line:
/etc/rc.d/samba start
And now we are ready!
