Title: [Solved] Help Regarding Samba Server
Post by: AmarD on May 02, 2021, 02:29:07 AM

I'm a Windows guy, and was delighted with Tinycore restoring the only PC I have with an optical drive back to life.
I want to set up a network share that is visible to my windows PCs. I tried using Samba3, setting my config files as this after trying various configs;

Quote

[global]
    netbios name = SERVER
    workgroup = WORKGROUP
    log file = /var/log/%m.log
    max log size = 1000
    security = user
    map to guest = bad user

[data]
    path = sharedd
    create mask = 0664
    guest ok = yes
    guest only = yes
    browseable = yes
    writeable = yes

But still after starting the samba service the folder is not visible.
What should be by settings to make sure it appears on my windows PCs?
Thanks in advance.

Hi AmarD
I haven't used SAMBA in many years, but maybe this is of some use:
http://forum.tinycorelinux.net/index.php/topic,8871.msg48077.html#msg48077

It includes a copy of the  smb.conf  file I was using at the time. It was a local server for my home so the security
was not too tight. It does include comments for a lot of the settings.
