There are many tools that could help you configure samba, share user’s home directory, share printers, and CD-Rom drives in Ubuntu easily. One of those packages is system-config-samba. With this package, you could easily manage samba without worrying about editing text files or working from the console or terminal.
Hello community! I'm setting up my first linux fileserver for Windows clients and am having some problems properly setting up the shares. I have a shared folder via Samba where multiple users (who are organized by group) should have permissions of rwxrwx--- (0770).
I have trouble with samba, my old config from samba 3.6 don't work for 4.03 f18. The most clients windows and linux machines can r/w/c share files, but the androids users can browse the share and delete files but no more operations are permitted, why this?
im new to linux and Samba.
Aim
Create a called Shared_folder which can be accessed by ALL users (group name = users).

I'm working in a small office of about 10 users. We just got this new All-in-one copier.
Hello and thanks for considering helping me out; here is the story.
I am an Ubuntu Server 12.10 box running in an Active Directory environment where the PDC (Primary Domain Controller) is a Windows Server 2008 R2 system for roaming profiles etc.
My server has access to a read-only LDAP where information about 99% of user accounts will reside. On my server I want to configure Samba to use LDAP for authentication.
Now and then there will be some extra users that do not have an account on LDAP.
I'm running samba on Ubuntu Server 10.04 LTS, I've some folders on samba share and created some user to access it, but suddenly some of the user are not able to access it for a certain time only.
For i.e:
There are 5 users as A,B,C,D,E and there are two folders in samba share name as "test" and "develop"
"test" doesn't have any user access password but "develop" has user access with password.
