20120128 - fixed a codebox

New page

1. make shure you have installed samba, kdenetwork-filesharing (for KDE SC) or nautilus-share (for Gnome)

2. open a terminal and become su

3. add a group called sambashare by running

{{Code||<pre class="clear"> groupadd sambashare </pre>}}

4. add your user to the group sambashare
{{Code||<pre class="clear">
gpasswd -a %username% sambashare
(where %username% has to be replaced with your username)</pre>}}

5. run these three commands:

{{Code||<pre class="clear"> mkdir /var/lib/samba/usershares </pre>}}

{{Code||<pre class="clear"> chgrp sambashare /var/lib/samba/usershares </pre>}}

{{Code||<pre class="clear"> chmod 1770 /var/lib/samba/usershares </pre>}}

4. add these at the end of the [Global] section in /etc/samba/smb.conf

{{Code||<pre class="clear">map to guest = bad user
usershare allow guests = yes
usershare path = /var/lib/samba/usershares
usershare max shares = 100
usershare owner only = false
username map = /etc/samba/smbusers </pre>}}

5. make sure all entries in

{{Code||<pre class="clear"> /etc/samba/smbusers </pre>}}
are commented out

6. For sharing folders in you home folder, make sure that the homefolder of the user is readable to others, otherwise samba can't make the folders there accessable.

7. run
{{Code||<pre class="clear"> rc-update add samba default </pre>}}
so the samba daemon is startet on systemstart (only if samba is not running at startup, for ubuntu or debian this should not be needed, but for Sabayon this is necessary).

8. And as some people will experience that after reboot the nmbd is not started and the shares are not shown you can add to the

{{Code||<pre class="clear"> /etc/local.d/local.start </pre>}} this {{Code||<pre class="clear"> /etc/init.d/samba restart </pre>}}

and if you still get problems using this you could try it with the sleep command to enshure that nmbd really can open a socketand if you still get problems using this you could try it with the sleep command to enshure that nmbd really can open a socket

{{Code||<pre class="clear"> /bin/sleep 20 && /etc/init.d/samba restart </pre>}}

this lets the system wait for 20 seconds and then does the restart of the samba service.
You should find out what is the best time youself, for me the 20 seconds are good working.

9. And the {{Code||<pre class="clear"> /etc/hosts </pre>}} should also be edited because the aliases are confusing smb.
So I changed it from

{{Code||<pre class="clear"> # IPv4 and IPv6 localhost aliases
127.0.0.1 localhost sabayon %computername%
::1 localhost sabayon </pre>}}

to

{{Code||<pre class="clear"> # IPv4 and IPv6 localhost aliases
127.0.0.1 localhost
::1 localhost </pre>}}

10. finally reboot, now you can use the foldersharing by rightclicking within Dolphin or Nautilus

Perhaps this should be implemented in Sabayon as default, so the user experience gets more comfortable.
