Samba Server Installation and Configuration on CentOS 7
This tutorial explains how to configure a Samba server on This tutorial exists for these OS versions
CentOS 7 with anonymous & secured samba shares. Samba is
an Open Source/Free Software suite that provides seamless file CentOS 8
and print services to SMB/CIFS clients like Windows. Samba is CentOS 7
freely available, unlike other SMB/CIFS implementations, and CentOS 6.4
allows for interoperability between Linux/Unix servers and CentOS 6.3
Windows-based clients. CentOS 6.2

1 Preliminary Note
2 Anonymous Samba sharing
3. Secured samba server
1 Preliminary Note
I have a fresh installed CentOS 7 server, on which I am going to install the samba server. Off-course you need to have one
windows machine to check the samba server that must be reachable with the CentOS 7 server. My Centos 7 server have
hostname server1.example.com & IP as 192.168.0.100
Note:
The Windows machine must be on same workgroup. To check the value in windows machine run the command at cmd prompt
net config workstation
It will be like this:
https://www.howtoforge.com/samba-server-installation-and-conﬁguration-on-centos-7 1/15
Your windows machine must be at same Workstation domain as in CentOS 7.0 server, i.e. WORKGROUP in my case.
To make the Windows machine reachable in Windows proceed like this. In the run terminal & add the entry of your server IP
address:
notepad C:\Windows\System32\drivers\etc\hosts
In my case it was like this, just save the values.
[...]
192.168.0.100 server1.example.com centos
2 Anonymous Samba sharing
First I will explain the methodology to install Samba with an anonymous share. To install the Samba software, run:
yum install samba samba-client samba-common
It will install the current Samba version from the CentOS software repository.
Now to configure samba, edit the file /etc/samba/smb.conf. Before making changes, I will make the backup of original file
as /etc/samba/smb.conf.bak
cp -pf /etc/samba/smb.conf /etc/samba/smb.conf.bak
As I want to start with an empty file, I'll use the cat command to empty smb.conf. That's faster than deleting all the lines in vi.
cat /dev/null > /etc/samba/smb.conf
Further, give the entries like this
vi /etc/samba/smb.conf
[global] x
workgroup = WORKGROUP
server string = Samba Server %v
netbios name = centos
security = user
map to guest = bad user
dns proxy = no
#============================ Share Definitions ==============================
[Anonymous]
path = /samba/anonymous
browsable =yes
writable = yes
guest ok = yes
read only = no
mkdir -p /samba/anonymous
systemctl enable smb.service
systemctl enable nmb.service
systemctl restart smb.service
systemctl restart nmb.service
Further CentOS 7 Firewall-cmd will block the samba access, to get rid of that we will run:
Flexible, short-term projects
SIGN UP
Ad
firewall-cmd --permanent --zone=public --add-service=samba
[root@server1 ~]# firewall-cmd --permanent --zone=public --add-service=samba

success
[root@server1 ~]#
Finally, reload the firewall to apply the changes.
firewall-cmd --reload
[root@server1 ~]# firewall-cmd --reload

success
[root@server1 ~]#
Now you can access the Centos 7 share in Windows as follows. Go to the Run prompt and type \\centos:
\\centos
From a Windows machine, just browse the folder and try to create a text file, but you will get an error of permission denied.

OPEN
Check the permission of the shared folder.
ls -l
drwxr-xr-x. 2 root root 6 Jul 17 13:41 anonymous

[root@server1 samba]#
To allow access by the anonymous user, set the permissions as follows: x
x
cd /samba
chmod -R 0755 anonymous/

chown -R nobody:nobody anonymous/
ls -l anonymous/
total 0
drwxr-xr-x. 2 nobody nobody 6 Jul 17 13:41 anonymous
Further, we need to allow the SELinux for the samba configuration as follows:
chcon -t samba_share_t anonymous/
Now the anonymous user can browse & create the folder contents.
You can cross check the content at the server also.
ls -l anonymous/
total 0
-rwxr--r--. 1 nobody nobody 0 Jul 17 16:05 anonymous.txt
3. Secured samba server
Therefore, I will create a group smbgrp & user srijan to access the samba server with proper authentication.
groupadd smbgrp
useradd srijan -G smbgrp
smbpasswd -a srijan
[root@server1 samba]# smbpasswd -a srijan

New SMB password:<--yoursambapassword
Retype new SMB password:<--yoursambapassword
Added user srijan.
Now create a folder with the name secured in the /samba folder and give permissions like this: x
x
mkdir -p /samba/secured
Again we will have to allow to listen through SELinux:
cd /samba
chmod -R 0777 secured/
chcon -t samba_share_t secured/
Again edit the configuration file as :
vi /etc/samba/smb.conf
[...]
[secured]
path = /samba/secured
valid users = @smbgrp
guest ok = no
writable = yes
browsable = yes
systemctl restart smb.service
systemctl restart nmb.service
Further, check the settings as follows:
Advertisement
testparm
[root@server1 samba]# testparm

Load smb config files from /etc/samba/smb.conf
rlimit_max: increasing rlimit_max (1024) to minimum Windows limit (16384)
Processing section "[Anonymous]"
Processing section "[secured]"
Loaded services file OK.
Server role: ROLE_STANDALONE
Press enter to see a dump of your service definitions <--ENTER
[global]
netbios name = CENTOS
server string = Samba Server %v
map to guest = Bad User
dns proxy = No
idmap config * : backend = tdb
[Anonymous]
path = /samba/anonymous
read only = No
guest ok = Yes
[secured]
path = /samba/secured
valid users = @smbgrp x
read only = No x
Now at windows machine check the folder now with the proper credentials
You will again face the issue of permissions to give write permission to the user srijan do:
cd /samba
chown -R srijan:smbgrp secured/
Now samba users have the permissions to write into the folder. Cheers, you have done with samba server in CentOS 7 :)

shouldn't "mv /etc/samba/smb.conf /etc/samba/smb.conf.bak" actually be cp instead of mv?
By: Keijo Reply
"mv" will move the file to a backup and let us start clean when issuing 'vi /etc/samba/smb.conf'
I find it really convenient this way, so we don't get distracted with the ZILLION comments out there in the default conf.

configure Samba on Rhel/CentOS 7 with Active dirctory

A truly excellent guide. Worked like a charm. Thankyou!!!
By: MichaelBeck Reply
My dir had files, so I had to use the

"chcon -t samba_share_t anonymous/"

with "-R": x
chcon -t samba_share_t -R anonymous/
to get it working.

When will RHEL 7 and CentOS 7 update Samba from 4.1.1 to the current version? I really want to use this distribution without having to manually
build the soure. I need at least 4.1.12 as shipped in Fedora 21 as it fixes this bug.

By: Eric Reply
Thanks a lot for the tutorial

Don't forget "-R" for chcon if some folders are already present in the samba folder
By: al mello Reply
Just one thing: When doing this for an existing user, make sure the user is added to the group used - smbgrp in this tutorial. In my case I was
getting an error and didn't realize that the error was affecting also the user to be added to the group and couldn't authenticate.
Only after edited the group and added the user to it I was able to authelticate.
No changes in windows 7 required. This tutorial works like a charm and I'd like to thanks Srijan for it!
By: josebash Reply
I think he meant the other way around. 777 for public and 755 for secured.
chmod -R 0755 anonymous/ -> chmod -R 0777 anonymous/chown -R nobody:nobody anonymous/
if leave it like this user won't be able to create files because it doesn't below to nobody group.
###
chmod -R 0777 secured/ -> chmod -R 0755 secured/chcon -t samba_share_t secured/
you don't need 777 permission when you have a group of valid users.
By: Erik Reply
Yes, it's right!

I followed the procedure and I get a not accessible for the secured folder. What seems to be the problem here?
By: Technocluse Reply
@PJ I had this same issue - anonymous folder worked fine, but secured folder was giving not accessible error - until I joined my Windows client
to the same workgroup that was named in the samba config file.
By: Aleksandar Reply
I have same problem but I can not join win computer to same workgroup, like Samba, because my win is AD domain member.
What shoud I do?

I can't get the secured part working. I have followed the instructions carefully but i can't authenticate with username and password from my
Windows 7 professional. Anonymous works great but when i try using username and password i get service unavailable. You may not have
permission to use this network resource.
Can anyone tell me what to do?

By: Pateto Reply
Thanks for your tutorial! I've made it several times.

I suggest adding -R to the SELinux configuration:
chcon -R -t samba_share_t anonymous/
for a shared folder with subdirectories.
By: Tudor Reply
Don't use chcon. After a SELinux relabel your settings will be wiped. Use semanage fcontext and restorecon -R

Werry good :D
tho i have a problem, i can access my home folder from Windows 10, but i cant access my Raid Array folders. i get the Error Code: 0x80070035,
have done everything on the windows side but still i cant figure out what i need to change in my samba config.
i have the path to my Raid Array under mnt folder, i have the grp named SAN that my user are member of on my CentOS 7 server and so on,
folders and subfolders have user:SAN and i used chmod -R 777.
turned off SELinux, and firewalld. disabled...
iam a bit lost atm :(
By: Rosay Reply
Don't forget to add -R to the chcon command when the shared folder already contains files or folders, otherwise you won't be able to acces to them
:)...
By: metafaniel Reply
I also followed these steps perfectly but I can' authenticat yet. My Windows client is also in the same workgroup as in the config file, I've changed
the ownership and group for the folder, I've added the firewall exception, I've configured SeLinux as stated above, I've restarted the services... I
even disabled the firewall and SeLinux temporarily but still no luck. I wonder what's going on...

By: JB Reply
Thank you very much for this helpful tuorial.

I only had one Problem: I've created an anonymous and a secured share. After I've created the secured share I couldn't write in the anonymous
share anymore. The Windows share simply said 'Permission denied' on the attempt to create folder or similar. (The funny thing is, that the
permission worked before I've added the secured share)
Anyways, the solution to the problem is to add the property ' guest only = yes ' to the anonymous share.

I got samba up in centos 7 and can see folder in win 7 but I try to copy docs in folder in centos 7 to pass to win7 but I can not see it in win7 but if I
create file in win7 in share folder then i can see it in centos7.
It samba only one way file transer- in my case win7 to centos7.
I dont think that should be the case. I must be missing something or not ?

Did you create an SMB User ?

smbpasswd -a alex
Replace alex with the account you would like to grant access SMB Access to.

By: Ofer Reply x

Thank you! Thank you! Thank you! Thank you!
Only this allowed me the access.
By: alex Reply
Try mapping the share from Command Prompt using;

net use * \\servernameorIP\sharename /user:SMBUser 'Password'
This will force the share to be mapped by authenticating the user account you created using smbpasswd

IT'S TOTALLY WRONG TO USE ("mv" command to make the backup because you will loose all the content from the original file
"/etc/samba/smb.conf" that going to move completely in the new file" /etc/samba/smb.conf.bak") IT'S BETTER TO USE "cp"=COPY command for
the BACKUP FROM THE ORIGINAL FILE!!!

By: till Reply
Sorry to say that, but you are completely wrong here. The goal is to make a backup of the file AND to start with a new and empty file as you
should paste the whole content of the file that is shown there and not edit any old content, so using mv here is the right command.
The alternative to use mv would be:
cp /etc/samba/smb.conf /etc/samba/smb.conf.bak
cat /dev/null > /etc/samba/smb.conf
So you would have to use 2 commands to have a renamed copy and start with an empty file then instead of using just the one mv command.
By: Gary Reply
Hi,
You changed the owner of the secured directory to the user.group. How about the owner of its parent (i.e. /samba/). Does it matter?
By: till Reply
The parent directory should be readable for the user and group, so if it has 755 permissions, then it's ok. If you use stricter permissions for it,
then you would have to chown it to the same user and group then the secured directory.

I had trouble connecting from some Windows clients. Sometimes connection was really slow. I ran into nt_status_io_timeout when connecting with
smbclient. Adding my hostname in /etc/hosts and setting my hostname in /etc/hostname solved the problem. Thanks for this great tutorial.
By: Ken Reply
Thia tutorial is great, but I still am unable to access the secured folder from my windows 10 computer. It keeps saying it's not accessible and I don't
have permissions to use this network resource. I follwed this step by step. Any ideas on how to correct this?
By: Erik Reply
Yes, it should be definitely. By typing 'mv' you will just rename it but you will not create same file with .bak at the end. Nice hint.
By: Izzy Reply
The anonymous share works just fine, but the secured share does not work no matter what I try. I followed the instructions, restored my server
from a backup and started the tutorial over 4 times.
I can't authenticate with my samba user. The samba user can access the directory through SSH just fine.

By: Jhon Castañeda Reply
This guide is excellent, I would complement it with this since I lost a lot of time trying to solve this. There is a problem with file ownership when
more than one user works on the secured folder. I create two users in the same group (user1-user2), but the created files of each user are with the
same user (Equivalent to a chown user1: user1). The solution to this I found in the forum http://askubuntu.com/questions/335055/how-to-force-
group-ownership-on-samba-share. You must apply the following ... [root @ server] # chgrp smbgrp secured / && chmod g + s secured /

Can a CentOS 6 PDC using tdbsam backend migrate to Centos 7? Migrating CentOS 5 PDCs to CentOS 6 was straightforward but I'm afraid the
CentOS 6 to 7 is not going to be that easy. The CentOS 5 to 6 migration was based on a single shell script that copied all the necessary
configuration files and settings. I also used the script to replicate PDCs after system failures in single server environments.

Hello, I also had problems accessing the secured folder, using my machine that has windows 10 got the famous error 1219 that does not allow
multiple user connections from windows. To solve this problem I deleted the connection from my windows using this command

By: jb_sailor Reply
A workaround for large user communities, and groups is to run mount -t cifs with the windows userid's, which is a nice thing to have (join centos to
the AD domain with realm join -U adminuser somedomain.com), enable the services as presented, and use sudo to allow the mounts and
unmounts. couple that with zenity in /etc/profile.d/ with a script to load up the login names and password dialogue boxes.
this is a great doc!

There is a new version of this tutorial available for CentOS 8.

Samba Server Installation and Configuration on CentOS 7

net config workstation

It will be like this:

In my case it was like this, just save the values.

2 Anonymous Samba sharing

yum install samba samba-client samba-common

cp -pf /etc/samba/smb.conf /etc/samba/smb.conf.bak

cat /dev/null > /etc/samba/smb.conf

Further, give the entries like this

Flexible, short-term projects

[root@server1 ~]# firewall-cmd --permanent --zone=public --add-service=samba

Finally, reload the firewall to apply the changes.

[root@server1 ~]# firewall-cmd --reload

Check the permission of the shared folder.

drwxr-xr-x. 2 root root 6 Jul 17 13:41 anonymous

To allow access by the anonymous user, set the permissions as follows: x

chmod -R 0755 anonymous/

chcon -t samba_share_t anonymous/

You can cross check the content at the server also.

3. Secured samba server

useradd srijan -G smbgrp

[root@server1 samba]# smbpasswd -a srijan

Again we will have to allow to listen through SELinux:

Again edit the configuration file as :
