Samba 4 Download: How to Install and Configure the Windows Interoperability Suite for Linux and Unix



If you use the default settings, the binaries, configuration files, libraries, and other files are installed in the /usr/local/samba/ directory. This enables you to keep the complete Samba installation in one location. However, you can specify individual paths. For example:




samba 4 download




The following assumes that the Samba Active Directory (AD) domain controller (DC) service is managed by the /etc/init.d/samba-ad-dc init script. If you have not created the script manually, see your operating system's documentation for the name of the Samba AD DC service.


On a DC, the /usr/local/samba/sbin/samba service automatically starts the required smbd and winbindd service as sub-processes. If you start them manually, the Samba DC fails to work as expected. If your package provider created additional Samba service files, disable and mask them to prevent that other services re-enable them. For example:


The following assumes that the Samba Active Directory (AD) domain controller (DC) service is managed by the samba-ad-dc service file. If you have not created the service file manually, see your operating system's documentation for the name of the Samba AD DC service.


Hi,I have been trying to download samba via pacman for a while now. It does not seem to find the necessary files on any of the servers I have listed in mirrorlist.Is there some problem with the repositories or am I doing something wrong?


Newer 'apt' versions recommend to use the /etc/apt/auth.conf file to store the login information instead of the sources.list. For the SAMBA+ repository, the following line would be needed:'machine download.sernet.de/subscriptions/samba/ login KEY password PASSWORD' where "KEY" and "PASSWORD" again need to be replaced with your personal data.

The security parameter in the [global] section in the /etc/samba/smb.conf file manages how Samba authenticates users that are connecting to the service. Depending on the mode you install Samba in, the parameter must be set to different values:


The testparm utility verifies that the Samba configuration in the /etc/samba/smb.conf file is correct. The utility detects invalid parameters and values, but also incorrect settings, such as for ID mapping. If testparm reports no problem, the Samba services will successfully load the /etc/samba/smb.conf file. Note that testparm cannot verify that the configured services will be available or work as expected.


The following procedure sets read, write, and execute permissions for the Domain Admins group, read, and execute permissions for the Domain Users group, and deny access to everyone else on the /srv/samba/example/ directory:


A user wants to share the /srv/samba/ directory on a Samba server. The share should be named example, have no comment set, and should be accessible by guest users. Additionally, the share permissions should be set to full access for the AD\Domain Users group and read permissions for other users. To add this share, run as the user:


If you are running a Samba print server for Windows clients, you can upload drivers and preconfigure printers. If a user connects to a printer, Windows automatically downloads and installs the driver locally on the client. The user does not require local administrator permissions for the installation. Additionally, Windows applies preconfigured driver settings, such as the number of trays.


To be able to upload and preconfigure printer drivers, a user or a group needs to have the SePrintOperatorPrivilege privilege granted. A user must be added into the printadmin group. Red Hat Enterprise Linux automatically creates this group when you install the samba package. The printadmin group gets assigned the lowest available dynamic system GID that is lower than 1000.


For security reasons, recent Windows operating systems prevent clients from downloading non-package-aware printer drivers from an untrusted server. If your print server is a member in an AD, you can create a Group Policy Object (GPO) in your domain to trust the Samba server.


In Samba, the server min protocol parameter in the /etc/samba/smb.conf file defines the minimum server message block (SMB) protocol version the Samba server supports. This section describes how to change the minimum SMB protocol version.


Using the join subcommand of the net utility, you can join Samba to an AD or NT4 domain. To join the domain, you must create the /etc/samba/smb.conf file manually, and optionally update additional configurations, such as PAM.

Each section of this configuration file defines a service. When users access a Samba server, they connect to a service named for one of the bracket sections in the config, such as [sambashare], [homes], [print$], and so on. Most users don't need to be aware of this subtlety, but you might see these service names when testing and troubleshooting.


It is recommended that you download and install Samba onto a cluster filesystem or highly available local file system. Doing so will allow you tohave Samba installed in one location. You will also be able to mountthe file system in Solaris zones.


Refer to Example 1-2 in Restriction for the Samba smb.conf files for an example of download and compiling Sambaonto a cluster file system and using a highly available local file systemfor the Samba files for each Samba instance.


The following deployment example has been taken from Appendix A, Deployment Example: Installing Samba packaged with Solaris 10 where /local isthe highly available local file system and /local/samba/smb1 is the samba-configuration-directory.


I'm sure you're aware it took about 60% of my free space on flash with all those extra dependencies. I've been using mbedtls for most of my packages but can transfer to openssl since samba4 seems to require it, but I don't see much ability to cut down on the size usage from my end.


I am attempting to share both mounted drives. They have chmod 775 in the main share a owned by "root" and group "staff". I'll see if the old OpenWRT samba3 guide can help point me in the right direction.


You might want to hold of for a few more days, i'm finishing up my package builder and will release it tomorrow or at the weekend. This will allow you to build my samba4 feed against your firmware version (18.06.1). It will setup/build and host the results automatically, so you can avoid mixing snapshot/18.06.1 packages.


Ran across this while trying to find a solution for samba discovery with windows 10. Anyway long story short. I am a openwrt user and installed this package and it works great. I also installed wsdd2 on my debian workstation and it works great there also. Using with the latest snapshot.


The only issue i found, is that you seem to need restart samba after you have created a new Timemachine share, until macOS picks it up in the selection screen. I put this on my to-do list, so keep this in mind for now.


PS: I noticed that user management is really bad atm, since you have to manually add users/groups to the /etc/passwd, /etc/groups files and than use smbpasswd -a username or temper with the samba passdb backend. I will try to add some options to luci, to remedy this.


Yeah samba3 is 60% smaller, still works fine for most devices, so is the only solution for low space targets, if you don't want to fiddle with a extroot. I also have this hotplug feature still on my to-do, so if you need this samba3 is the way to go. So i expect samba3 to stay until it becomes unmaintained or a major security bug can't be fixed.


PS: Samba 4.9 was just released today, so i will setup a new PR for it and this should be fixed than.I will try to fix my package-builder script for macOS today, so you can try compile/install your own samba4.9 version from my feed and give some feedback on the whole process.


In other news, I'm testing smb connection on a nvidia shield, trying to connect to the router via the nvidia shield. It's not working. In doing some research apparently the shield only supports SMB1, which they are updating but it's taking a crazy amount of time. Do you know if samba4 supports SMB1? 2ff7e9595c
