An easy way configurasi server linux - windows client

Linux .... Who is afraid ...

Often we think or see that combining the 2 operating systems with server (LINUX) is difficult.
All it missed the application on the Linux is Samba.
For configuration using the operating system CentOS Linux 5.2.

The first thing done:
1. Make sure samba is installed on a computer server.

# rpm -qa |grep samba
[root@Server ~]# rpm -qa |grep samba
samba-3.0.28-0.el5.8
samba-client-3.0.28-0.el5.8
system-config-samba-1.2.39-1.el5
samba-common-3.0.28-0.el5.8
[root@Server ~]#

If the packages already appears as above, then the existing samba (installed).
2. The simple configuration of samba:

workgroup = MYGROUP
server string = SAMBA SERVER
netbios name = HQ1
hosts allow = 127. 192.168.0. 192.168.0.

[bas]
path = /home/bastian
writeable = yes
browseable = no
valid users = bastian

3. Starting service samba
# service smb start
or
# /etc/init.d/smb start

4. Once completed configurasi samba, it's time we make a mapping in the client computer (Windows)
- Run -> cmd- c:/> net use x: \\192.168.0.1\bas
5. Then, check the mapping drive from Windows explorer.
