Save the file, exit, and restart Samba. On Pidora, reboot the Samba service with:
$ su -c '/sbin/service smb restart'
On Raspbian, use:
$ su -c '/etc/init.d/samba restart'
Configure Samba Without the Command Line
If you're using Pidora, a package available for the GUI Samba Server Configuration
Tool can modify the
/etc/samba/
files for you. To install this tool, run:
$
su -c
'yum install system-config-samba'
You can start it from the command line by typing
system-config-samba
.
Now connect to your share from another machine. From Fedora, for example, use the
Connect to Server dialog (similar dialogs exist in any Linux distribution or on OS X or
Windows). The share address is
smb://
followed by the IP address, a slash, and the
name of your share, as shown in
Figure 3-1
.
