4.2 Samba

Samba you almost definitely don't want on a production web server. It's quite useful on a home network so that you can transfer data easily between file shares however, and it also provides the service required for a windows machine to recognize a linux machine by hostname only.

4.2.1 Install Samba

• yum install samba
• chkconfig smb on
• smbpasswd -a blake

Give yourself a samba password, and that's it!

Start samba up:

• service smb start
