Next, logon on to the Ubuntu machine to install Samba. To install Samba, run the commands below. Sudo apt-get install samba samba-common python-glade2 system-config-samba. After installing Samba, go and config Samba. Step 5: Configure Samba Public share. Now that Samba is installed, run the commands below to backup its default configuration file. Samba is a suite of programs used by machines to share files, printers, and other information. A flaw was found in the way Samba handled file descriptors. If an attacker were able to open a large CHAPTER 1. We shall use a popular tool Samba. Setting up Samba Server to share files across Linux, Windows, and Mac OS X systems. Samba is a opensource tool that can help you to share the files and printer across cross platforms including Linux, Windows, and Mac over a network. This tutorial guides you on how to install and configure Samba, to enable file sharing between Ubuntu and Windows. However, first we need to prepare our environment as follows: Step 1 – Setting up Ubuntu and Windows Hosts.

Below are suggested parameters to use in smb.conf file of the Samba server to improve operability with Mac OS X clients.Note that some parameters may not work with your version of Samba - read the smb.conf and vfs_fruit man pages (on Linux) for your system.Other than those shown in the [TimeMachineBackup] share below, I recommend you include all parameters in the [Global] section of smb.conf. For ease of copy > paste, a clean smb.conf section is included at the bottom of this page.

Samba is a powerful open-source tool that allows Windows-like sharing of files and printers in a network on Linux systems. It enables the coexistence and interaction of Linux and Windows machines on the same network. It is installed on the Linux server that hosts the files to be shared.
This is a video on how to share Linux Folders with your Windows machines. I use a program called Samba to share the folders so that they are surfable in a Ne.

Apple extensions ('AAPL') run under SMB2/3 protocol, make that the minimum (probably shouldn't be running SMB1 anyway...) - defaults to SMB2_2 in Samba 4.11+:

Apple extensions require support for extended attributes(xattr) - defaults to yes in Samba 4.9+:

Load in modules (order is critical!) and enable AAPL extensions:

How to store OS X metadata:

For additional setting see the manpage vfs_fruit.

Server icon in Finder (added in Samba 4.5):

File cleanup:

For Spotlight backend indexing using Elastisearch (added in Samba 4.12):

See smb.conf for 4.12 for other Elastisearch parameters.Gnome tracker is still available (= tracker) or no indexing (= noindex), the default.

Samba Status_more_processing_required

For Time Machine backup share (added in Samba 4.8):

As far as I know, testparm will not validate vfs_fruit parameters. (my server runs an old version of Samba :-), but after you have built your smb.conf, you can check for errors anyway with #: testparm or #: testparm -v (which will give you the defaults as well.

Here is the smb.conf code - NOTE - THIS IS NOT A COMPLETE SMB.CONF!!!

From Finder, connect to your Samba server using 'smb://User@Server'.Note that TM backups over smb may now be possible with your server.Other Mac models can be found in '/System/Library/CoreServices/CoreTypes.bundle/Contents/Info.plist'. Use 'Quick Look', Xcode or plutil to view or convert plist.
