              samba-server.md
            
          
    Why?!

I cant remember how Samba configs work because the syntax is just plain stupid to me.
Also, mostly set it up when i replace my server.
I want it to integrate propperly with my Mac and be usable over a VPN.
Samba

As being said, i want to see my homedir, so lets install samba
# apt install tasksel
# tasksel install samba-server
# smbpasswd -a xantios
[global]

   # Samba likes CAPS, I dont. 
   # Seems to be something with NETBIOS Legacy
   multicast dns register = no
   
   # Workgroup, can be anything.
   workgroup = Sacredheart
   
   # Feel free to be creative here
   server string = %h server (Samba, Ubuntu)
   
   # Log some stuff
   log file = /var/log/samba/log.%m
   max log size = 1000
   logging = file
   
   # Default stuff
   panic action = /usr/share/samba/panic-action %d
   server role = standalone server
   obey pam restrictions = yes
   unix password sync = yes
   passwd program = /usr/bin/passwd %u
   passwd chat = *Enter\snew\s*\spassword:* %n\n *Retype\snew\s*\spassword:* %n\n *password\supdated\ssuccessfully* .
   pam password change = yes
   map to guest = bad user
   usershare allow guests = yes

# Not sure if this is secure in any way... 
# On the other hand, this is Samba. so i assume everything is unsecure.
[homes]
   comment = Home Directories
   browseable = yes
   read only = no
   create mask = 0700
   directory mask = 0700
   valid users = %S

Avahi

So the new samba server pops up in the finder
apt install avahi-daemon
My Avahi config /etc/avahi/avahi-daemon.conf

and for the samba config...
Also, set a fancy icon! because we can!
