RHEL 6 Samba Share

Darren Etheridge_2 — Tue, 08 Feb 2011 17:04:15 GMT

I am trying to setup a Samba Share in RHEL 6 with no passwords, basically anyone can access this share. Can anyone give me an example of how to do this in RHEL. I've got it working in HPUX but there must be something different in RH to do this. Thanks!

Shalom,

Its actually very much the same as doing it on HP-UX.

Samba was ported open source to HP-UX from the same code base RHEL uses.

D.

It should be exactly the same sir. Edit smb.conf and put in your paramters as it exists in HP-UX.

Well low and behold after rebooting the system it now works! That would figure after hours of beating my head against he wall just a reboot fixes it :)

Well next time you should only really do:

service smb restart
