[Debian Wiki]

Dear Wiki user,

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

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

Comment:
Adding samba support information.

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. For example, Android based devices 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.
