Install Samba by running the following commands:
cd source && mkdir -p /etc/samba/private && mkdir -p /var/cache/samba && ./configure \ --prefix=/usr \ --sysconfdir=/etc \ --localstatedir=/var \ --with-piddir=/var/run \ --with-fhs \ --with-smbmount && make && make install && rm -rf /usr/private && echo "swat 901/tcp" >> /etc/services && echo "swat stream tcp nowait.400 root /usr/sbin/swat swat" >> \ /etc/inetd.conf |
mkdir -p /etc/samba/private mkdir -p /var/cache/samba |
--prefix=/usr: Sets the prefix for almost all the file paths to /usr.
--sysconfdir=/etc: Sets the configuration file directory to avoid the default of /usr/etc.
--localstatedir=/var: Sets the variable data directory to avoid the default of /usr/var.
--with-fhs: Assigns all other file paths in a manner compliant with the Filesystem Hierarchy Standard (FHS).
--with-smbmount: Orders the creation of an extra binary for use by the mount command so that mounting remote SMB (windows) shares becomes no more complex than mounting remote NFS shares.
rm -rf /usr/private: Removes a directory erroneously created by source/scripts/installbin.sh during the make install.
We will configure one Samba server (SAMBABOX) to act as a primary domain controller, as well as configure one domain client running Windows 2000 Server(WIN2KBOX) and acting as a member server of the domain. Detailed instructions will be given for adding WIN2KBOX to the domain due to the extra steps necessary. Instructions for adding Windows 95/98/XP clients can be found in the newly installed documentation by pointing a web browser to:
file:///usr/share/samba/swat/using_samba/ch03_01.html#ch03-55770. |
/etc/samba/smb.conf, /etc/rc.d/init.d/samba
First we set up some directories needed by Samba :
mkdir /var/lib/samba && mkdir /var/lib/samba/netlogon && mkdir /var/lib/samba/ntprofile && mkdir /var/lib/samba/profiles && chmod -R 1777 /var/lib/samba |
And the Samba configuration file:
cat > /etc/samba/smb.conf << "EOF"
[global]
netbios name = SAMBABOX
workgroup = DOMAIN01
os level = 64
preferred master = yes
domain master = yes
local master = yes
security = user
encrypt passwords = yes
domain logons = yes
log file = /var/log/log.%m
log level = 1
logon path = \\%N\home\%u
logon drive = H:
logon home = \\homeserver\%u
logon script = logon.cmd
[netlogon]
path = /var/lib/samba/netlogon
read only = yes
write list = ntadmin
[profiles]
path = /var/lib/samba/ntprofile
read only = no
create mask = 0600
directory mask = 0700
; World writable share for testing
[tmp]
comment = Temporary file space
path = /tmp
read only = no
public = yes
[home]
comment = Users' home directories
path = /home
read only = no
public = no

Now add the machine trust account for WIN2KBOX:
/usr/sbin/useradd -g 100 -d /dev/null -c \
"machine nickname" -s /bin/false win2kbox$ &&
passwd -l win2kbox$ &&
smbpasswd -a -m win2kbox |
Create the Samba boot script:
cat > /etc/rc.d/init.d/samba << "EOF"
#!/bin/bash
# Begin $rc_base/init.d/samba
# Based on sysklogd script from LFS-3.1 and earlier.
# Rewritten by Gerard Beekmans - gerard@linuxfromscratch.org
source /etc/sysconfig/rc
source $rc_functions
case "$1" in
start)
echo "Starting nmbd..."
loadproc /usr/sbin/nmbd -D
echo "Starting smbd..."
loadproc /usr/sbin/smbd -D
;;
stop)
echo "Stopping smbd..."
killproc /usr/sbin/smbd
echo "Stopping nmbd..."
killproc /usr/sbin/nmbd
;;
reload)
echo "Reloading smbd..."
reloadproc /usr/sbin/smbd
echo "Reloading nmbd..."
reloadproc /usr/sbin/nmbd

restart)
$0 stop
sleep 1
$0 start
;;
status)
statusproc /usr/sbin/nmbd
statusproc /usr/sbin/smbd
;;
*)
echo "Usage: $0 {start|stop|reload|restart|status}"
exit 1
;;
esac
# End $rc_base/init.d/samba

Add the run level symlinks:
chmod 754 /etc/rc.d/init.d/samba && ln -s /etc/rc.d/init.d/samba /etc/rc.d/rc0.d/K48samba && ln -s /etc/rc.d/init.d/samba /etc/rc.d/rc1.d/K48samba && ln -s /etc/rc.d/init.d/samba /etc/rc.d/rc2.d/K48samba && ln -s /etc/rc.d/init.d/samba /etc/rc.d/rc3.d/S24samba && ln -s /etc/rc.d/init.d/samba /etc/rc.d/rc4.d/S24samba && ln -s /etc/rc.d/init.d/samba /etc/rc.d/rc5.d/S24samba && ln -s /etc/rc.d/init.d/samba /etc/rc.d/rc6.d/K48samba |
Now, we'll use our new boot script to start Samba :
/etc/rc.d/init.d/samba start |
We have to add the SAMBABOX root account to the Samba user list first in order to join WIN2KBOX to the DOMAIN01 domain:
smbpasswd -a root |
After starting Samba and adding root to the Samba user list, the first machine we'll join to DOMAIN01 will be WIN2KBOX, the Windows 2000 Server box we created the machine trust account for. On WIN2KBOX:
1. Right click on My Computer.
2. Click on Properties.
3. Click on the Network Identification notebook tab.
4. Click on the Properties button.
5. In the Computer Name: edit field enter WIN2KBOX.
6. Click on the Domain: radio button and enter DOMAIN01 in the edit
field and click OK.
7. When presented with the Domain Username And Password dialog box,
enter root and root's password on SAMBABOX and click OK.
8. After the machine trust is negotiated, click the OK button in the
dialog box welcoming you to the DOMAIN01 domain.
9. Click OK in the reboot reminder dialog box.
10. Click OK to close the System Properties window.
11. Click Yes to reboot WIN2KBOX. |
Before logging on to WIN2KBOX, we will create a new user with the following commands:
useradd -m win2kuser01 && passwd win2kuser01 && smbpasswd -a win2kuser01 |
Now we will log on the domain as our newly created user as follows:
1. Press Ctrl-Alt-Del to bring up the Log On to Windows dialog box. 2. Enter the win2kuser01 name and password. 3. Select DOMAIN01 from the Log on to: combination box and click OK. |
Add the swat entry to /etc/serviceswith the following command:
echo "swat 901/tcp" >> /etc/services |
If inetd is used, the following command will add the swat entry to /etc/inetd.conf:
echo "swat stream tcp nowait.400 root /usr/sbin/swat swat" \
>> /etc/inetd.conf |
If xinetd is used, the following command will add the swat entry to /etc/xinetd.conf:
cat >> /etc/xinetd.conf << "EOF"
service swat
{
port = 901
socket_type = stream
wait = no
only_from = 127.0.0.1
user = root
server = /usr/sbin/swat
log_on_failure += USERID
}
EOF |
The Samba Web Administration Tool, SWAT, can be launched with the following command on SAMBABOX:
lynx http://localhost:901 |
Note: Be sure inetd is running, and issue a killall -HUP inetd before starting SWAT.
The Lynx browser is used in this demonstration, but is not necessary.
cat > /etc/samba/smb.conf << "EOF" : Create a default Samba configuration file. This configuration will allow Samba to act as a Primary Domain Controller for a Microsoft Windows based network. If this is not desired, a simpler default smb.conf file is bundled with the Samba distribution. See the samba2.2.8a/examples/smb.conf.default file. Primary Domain Controller configuration is slightly more complicated than ordinary member server configuration, so instructions for PDC configuration will be given here.
cat > /etc/rc.d/init.d/samba << "EOF": Create the Samba boot script, used to start and stop Samba automatically on machine startup and shutdown.
/usr/sbin/useradd -g 100 -d /dev/null -c \
"Win2k Server" -s /bin/false win2kbox$ |
echo "swat 901/tcp" >> /etc/services: Register the swat service to run on port 901.
echo "swat stream tcp nowait.400 root /usr/sbin/swat swat" >> /etc/inetd.conf: Instruct inetd where to find and how to run swat.
ln -s /etc/rc.d/init.d/samba /etc/rc.d/rc3.d/S600samba etc.: Create the Samba boot scripts, used to start and stop Samba automatically on machine startup and shutdown.
The Samba package contains make_smbcodepage, make_unicodemap, mount.smbfs, nmbd, nmblookup, rpcclient, smbcacls, smbclient, smbcontrol, smbd, smbpasswd, smbspool, smbstatus, swat, testparm, testprns, wbinfo and winbindd.
make_smbcodepage converts text descriptions of code pages to binary code page files and vice versa.
make_unicodemap converts text Unicode map files to binary, for use in mapping characters to 16 bit Unicode.
