A
quick Google will show many ways to to setup a Linux file server
running Samba, most of them however don't work! Some leave out
important bits leaving you stuck and some will only work with one
version of a specific Distro (but of course don't mention this). I
struggled for ages getting Samba to work reliably and made quite a
few wrong turns on the way. I was just trying to set up a simple
Linux file server to store music, photos etc. but eventually found a
foolproof (probably) way to do it. The following works and has been
tested several times on fresh installations. This is not meant to be
a high security setup, all folders are accessible to everybody for
read, write and delete. If you have stroppy teenagers who want
exclusive access to their own area on the server, then you can use
this as a starting point. A few simple changes would achieve that
level of security but it is beyond the scope of this tutorial.
