This work is a step-by-step how to guide for configuring Samba file server, Quota and

scheduled backup of important files. The paper provides an installation guide for,

1. Samba server.

2. Quota.

3. Scheduled backup of important files.

2. Installing Samba Server:

You need to install most of the samba packages: samba, samba-common and samba-swat rpms, using the following commands,

# rpm –ivh samba-*.rpm.

# rpm –ivh samba-common-*.rpm.

# rpm –ivh samba-swat-*.rpm.

3 General Guideline for Configuring Samba:

Samba uses /etc/samba/smb.conf as its configuration file. If you change this configuration file, the changes do not take effect until you restart the Samba daemon with the command service smb restart.
