Be careful with `usermod -g smb_group josh`.... that will change your DEFAULT group to be smb_group. I think the preferred method would be `usermod -aG smb_group josh`, where you append the the new group to the user instead of changing it.
Hello Josh, Thank you so much for this, the video was really amazing! I am having a little issue connecting to the samba server I created through the terminal. I am using rocky linux, and the file explorer doesn't support just pasting in a path for some reason. How to go about this?
Talk that Talk. Can we get recharge electric car station tools to be used with AWS architecture platforms for young people to open and maintenances of same?
Thank for the video man. I was able to follow along all the way, but when I attempt to connect through my windows file explorer, I can see the folder but get the "Windows cannot access" error when I try to open it. Any ideas what I could be doing wrong?
Thank you so much this got me working on Fedora. I am sure not having the ports for samba open on the firewall wasn't helping. Also for what ever reason when running testparm a few lines stood out: Unknown parameter encountered: "valid user" and Ignoring unknown parameter "valid user". Everything seems to be working and a quick google wasn't of much help.
You're welcome! I'm glad to hear it's working on Fedora now. The issue with the testparm warnings can be fixed by updating your Samba configuration. The correct parameter is valid users instead of valid user. To fix this, edit your Samba configuration file (/etc/samba/smb.conf) and replace any instances of valid user with valid users. After making these changes, restart the Samba services with sudo systemctl restart smb and sudo systemctl restart nmb. This should resolve the warnings. If you need any further assistance, feel free to ask!
Unfortunately, although my shared folder can be accessed with credentials (u+p), I cannot make it an anonymous/guest access on my local network which is what I want.
OMG. Thank you so much! I would never have worked this stuff out without your video!!
Ooh... definitely going to be watching this one many times. It's exactly what I'm looking for (well, I assume it is.)
Thank you Josh, very nice and easy to follow !!

Thanks for pointing that out.

In my kali linux disable networkmanager how to enable
how can I use Active Directory with linux? thanks
I'll attempt to make a video on it. Its a very difficult video to make because I need to have a domain server with active directory setup.
@@KeepItTechie i'd be looking forward to this, i'll subscribe right now just to wait and see
