[Debian Wiki]

Dear Wiki user,

You have subscribed to a wiki page or wiki category on "Debian Wiki" for change notification.

The "DebianEdu/Documentation/Bookworm/HowTo/Samba" page has been changed by WolfgangSchweer:
https://wiki.debian.org/DebianEdu/Documentation/Bookworm/HowTo/Samba

Comment:
initial content (copy from the bullseye page w/ some adjustments)

New page:
<<Anchor(Samba)>>
= Samba in Debian Edu =
<<TableOfContents(4)>>

Samba is now configured as ''standalone server'' with modern SMB2/SMB3 support and usershares enabled, see {{{/etc/samba/smb-debian-edu.conf}}} on the main server. This way non-admin users are enabled to provide shares.

For site specific changes, copy /usr/share/debian-edu-config/smb.conf.edu-site to the /etc/samba directory. The settings in ''smb.conf.edu-site'' will override those contained in ''smb-debian-edu.conf''.

Please note:
 * By default, home directories are read only. This can be changed in ''/etc/samba/smb.conf.edu-site''.
 * Samba passwords are stored using {{{smbpasswd}}} and are updated in case a password is changed using GOsa².
 * To temporarily disable a user's Samba account, run {{{smbpasswd -d <username>}}}, {{{smbpasswd -e <username>}}} will re-enable it.
 * Running {{{chown root:teachers /var/lib/samba/usershares}}} on the main server will disable usershares for 'students'.

== Accessing files via Samba ==

Connections to a user's home directory and to additional site specific shares (if configured) are possible for devices running Linux, Android, macOS, iOS, iPadOS, Chrome OS or Windows. Other devices like Android based ones require a file manager with SMB2/SMB3 support, also known as LAN access. [[https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.lonelycatgames.Xplore&hl=en_US&gl=US|X-plore]] or [[https://www.ghisler.com/android.htm|Total Commander with LAN plugin]] might be a good choice.

Use {{{\\tjener\<username>}}} or {{{smb://tjener/<username>}}} to access the home directory.
