Command smbpasswd -a can be used to add a user to the password database under /etc/samba/ for
SAMBA authentication. Set up Samba users with the smbpasswd command.
Smbpasswd

smbuser1

Create a smbgroup and add smbuser3 and smbuser4 users


Groupadd smbgroup
Usermod -G smbgroup smbuser3 smbuser4
Now open main configuration file of Samba
Vi /etc/samba/samba.conf

It would be same on network for seamless connectivity


Now navigate to Share Definitions section By default Samba automatically share the home
directory of the logged-in user which is define in the first four lines of this section.
browseable = no limit user to his own home directory. Samba reads home directory information
from /etc/passwd file so you need not to specify the home directories path.

On Server create a /sharedata folder. This folder is created from root user so our users will not be able
to write in this folder. Change its permission 777. Configure SELinux Boolean . Now open the smb.conf
file
