Getting Through SAMBA Security

Using a Raspberry Pi w/ Debian

Read the manual and several "how-to"s and am getting nowhere

vsftp is running and making a log file. I can get to the Pi with putty or SAMBA

Ultimately want to be able to both(I) ftp in under the "pi" user to access files remotely and (II) have people sending me huge files ftp them in anonymously

Have tried (I) the ftp client in Windows 7 Internet explorer 11, (ii) the ftp client in the Windows 7 "map network drive" UI, and (iii) ES file explorer on my Android phone.

The android phone tells me there is no server there. Windows 7 gets no password challenge, gives no error indication, but does nothing useful. The vsftpd log file shows some attempt by the Windows machine, nothing for the Android.

Config file and log file attached.

The Android is trying to use port 21, the config file mentions something about port 20. Which ports do I need to forward in my router to enable remote access?

Any help appreciated.

Thanks. Jonathan

- I have samba server and ldap server both on different machine. I want to authenticate all the ldap user on samba share to giving access permission for user's on share. I have refer too many document for that but I am unable to access share with ldap user's username and password. I have referred below link

How to troubleshoot for user authentication on samba share?

Hey guys, I got samba working and I am able to access my files, however I am now trying to learn security with it. i am pretty much trying to allow certain groups access certain files. if you look at samba group you can see that I have @sambausers group to access sambagroup directory.

I have a user called sambatest01. the user can access "samba users only" but the user can access all of the other files as well. what is a correct set up on the other smb.conf to prevent users from accessing this? I cant seem to find a proper set up


[drivers]
path = /files/drivers
browseable = yes
read only = no
guest ok = no
guest only = no


[samba users only]
path = /files/sambagroup
browseable = yes
read only = no
guest ok = no
guest only = no
write list = @sambausers
valid users = @sambausers

I banging my head, I am unable to mount samba share. Here is the info
Samba share is in RHEL 6.5
# vi /etc/samba/smb.conf
[sambashare]
comment = samba share
path = /smbdemo
guest ok = yes
browseable = yes

# ls -dZ /smbdemo/
drwxrwxrwx. root root system_ubject_r:samba_share_t:s0 /smbdemo/

# getsebool -a | grep samba
samba_create_home_dirs --> on
samba_domain_controller --> off
samba_enable_home_dirs --> on
samba_export_all_ro --> on
samba_export_all_rw --> on
samba_portmapper --> off
samba_run_unconfined --> off
samba_share_fusefs --> off
samba_share_nfs --> off
sanlock_use_samba --> off
use_samba_home_dirs --> off
virt_use_samba --> off


Accessing this share from another Red Hat Box 6.4 (samba-client)
# smbclient -L 192.168.1.10 -U don [Works perfectly]

Now, when I try to mount the share as:

# mount.cifs //192.168.1.9/smbdemo /opt/test/ -o user=don
Password:
Retrying with upper case share name
mount error(6): No such device or address
Refer to the mount.cifs(8) manual page (e.g. man mount.cifs)

# smbclient //192.168.1.9/smbdemo -U don
Enter don's password:
Domain=[BARNES] OS=[Unix] Server=[Samba 3.6.23-14.el6_6]
tree connect failed: NT_STATUS_BAD_NETWORK_NAME

I searched in google but no avail.

I'm not sure if this should be in the newbie section, but I am somewhat of a newbie, so here goes:

In a home network, I have an Xubuntu file server with a Samba share that has me as the owner and authorizes me to access the share.

On another computer, I have Mint running and providing various services, including webdav on Apache with SSL. In the var/www/webdav directory of the Mint computer, I have the Xubuntu Samba share mounted. This is supposed to allow me to access the Samba share from the public internet.

Everything works fine except for one big problem: Apache requires the owner of the webdav directory to be user "www-data," and I can't figure out how to give www-data access to the Samba share, since www-data is not a user on the Xubuntu computer, and moreover I don't know the password for user www-data.

Can anyone figure out how to get around this problem? In particular, is there a way to configure the Samba share on the Xubuntu computer so that user www-data on the Mint computer can have access to it?

(Incidentally, I have my reasons for using two computers, one as a file server and one as a web server. Also, I am thinking about switching to NFS instead of Samba, but I'm not sure if even that would solve my problem.)

I've got my new system up and running. It's a nice fresh change after running Linux Mint for the past 4 years. Now comes the time of setting things up the way I like them.

As part of my setup, I have a all of my DVD's backed up onto my computer so that I can use a media server in the house. I run XBMC at my TV's with a central samba server (my computer) holding the movies.

In LM, all I had to do was right-click the directory "sharing" and select SMB share and type in the name. Everything else was done for me. This doesn't seem that simple.

Here's what I've done:
1. Menu > Administration > Samba
2. Entered in all the directories to share, under the BASIC tab I've selected visibile, writeable. Under the ACCESS tab I've selected a user (see below).
3. I've created a system user called xbmc with the password of xbmc.
4. I've created a samba user called xbmc with the password of xbmc.

Still not working. So, I went into the shell where I manually started the smb service:
# systemctl start smb.service

So, I went back to Menu > Administration > Samba > Preferences:
Set workgroup to WORKGROUP (but it automatically changes it to lower case after I exit).

Drop to terminal and restart service with systemctl.

I go over to my XMBC installation and try to connect to the source and it finds the SMB share. I click on it and after about 30 seconds a window pops up asking for login credentials. I enter xbmc/xbmc and after about 30 seconds it just cycles through. XMBC doesn't offer any messages, so I went downstairs to my Windows machine and tried to connect to a network drive. I enter in \\IP\share-name and after a few seconds it asks for login credentials. I enter xbmc/xbmc but then it fails with "bad username or password".

I'm not sure what I need to do to get this working.

Here is my /etc/samba/smb.conf file:
http://pastebin.com/m9ExpPJF

System Korora 21 (just installed/updated)
kernel: 3.18.9-200.fc21.x86_64

OK this is kinda long, so I will shorten it as much as I can, as to not be long-winded.

My current network at home:
1 - CentOS 7 desktop (server)
1 - Ubuntu 14.04 desktop
1 - Fedora 21 laptop
2 - Windows 7 desktops
some other various windows boxes also that don't get used regularly, but are on the network.

My 2 Linux desktops (which I use as servers, but they really aren't) have shared folders on them, which I share to the network via Samba (CIFS). I use Samba because Linux is smarter than Windows and Windows won't read NFS, so I share them as Samba so all devices can see them.

Generally speaking, if I share the folders on each box as 0777, I have no issues. But lately I have been wanting to implement some better security, so I wanted to SETGID and chown the shared folders from the local machine to a specific group, then change the folders to 2774.

My problem is that I keep getting permissions errors when trying to connect from the other Linux machines, and sometimes the Windows machines also. My main question is: do I CHMOD 2774 the local mount-point before mounting it? Or so I CHMOD 2774 the shared folder on the other server, then mount it locally to a folder whose permissions are different? Or do I CHMOD both of them the same?

basically the uis and gid ownerships change on a local folder when I mount a shared drive to that folder, so when I try to write or sometimes read that local folder, I get permissions errors.

I can provide any additional info needed.

Hello

I want to share a folder on my Fedora linux pc with a Windows 8 pc in the same network.

I have followed this guide : http://www.labtestproject.com/config...rver_on_fedora

but I am not able to see my share on my Fedora linux pc from the other Windows 8 PC.

This is my /etc/samba/smb.conf :

Code:

[global]
        workgroup = mygroup
        server string = HP Samba
;       netbios name = MYSERVER

;       interfaces = lo eth0 192.168.12.2/24 192.168.13.2/24
;       hosts allow = 127. 192.168.12. 192.168.13.

;       max protocol = SMB2
[My-Documents]
        path = /home/Jonas/Desktop/My-Documents
        read only = no
;       browseable = yes
        guest ok = yes

The workgroup name is the same as the workgroup name on the Windows PC.

Firewall on Fedora linux pc is down.

I do get the following output when restarting smb :
Code:

apr 27 12:27:49 jonashp.domain.local systemd[1]: Starting Samba SMB Daemon...
apr 27 12:27:49 jonashp.domain.local smbd[4324]: [2015/04/27 12:27:49.686796,  0] ../source3/param/loadparm.c:3034(lp_set_enum_parm)

I thought it would be that simple...

Linux 14.04 server set up following instructions on http://www.havetheknowhow.com

I have been trying to connect to the samba shares from two windows machines. The server is visible but when I try to connect it requests a logon and no matter what I enter it fails. I have been using webmin to set this up and the samba version is 4.1.6-ubuntu.
One note, webmin did not show any samba user groups.

all systems show "WORKGROUP" as the workgroup

I'm struggling with Samba with a new NAS/Media server I am trying to build. I have created some shares on my Unbuntu server with Samba that are visible and browseable from my home Windows 8.1 clients but when I try to write to any of them I receive a "try again" error.

I want to be able to copy files from my PC to my new Unbuntu server's shares. For now I have one user only on my Unbuntu server that's in the sudo group. From Windows I have tried to map network drive with "different credentials" but no matter what I try from Windows I still can't copy or move files from Windows to the shares.

Thank you
