[root@localhost media]# umount /media
Please note the following point:
[root@localhost media]# vim /etc/samba/smb.conf:set nu
89 workgroup = EXAMPLE-X ; MYHOME to EXAMPLE (BLOCK Letter)
90 server string = Samba Server X ; Server Name
92 netbios name = Fileserver ; remove comment “;”
95 hosts allow = 127. 172.25.11. ; netowrk ID with ‘.’
123 security = user
Note:
security = server or share ; no password required
security = user ; password required
# write down as following share
322 [project] ; share display name
323 comment = RW for samba-users and RO for rakib ; share comment
324 path = /sambashare ; share path
325 browseable = yes
326 writable = yes ; user write access
327 write list = @samba-users ; user print access
328 read only = yes ; access for everyone
329 read list = rakib
hosts allow =
: x (save and quit)
Now you can browse from the client part: ——————————
=> Change Work-Group from my computer
=> Change Computer Name
=> Reboot
You can also Browse from Windows PC:
=> Start menu => run => \\192.168.42.2+X (samba IP)

[root@desktopX ~]# smbclient -L //192.168.42.2+X -U user1

* [-N|–no-pass] * [-L|–list HOST] * [-U] — user
