Create the public_readonly and public_readwrite groups: This process is demonstrated in the section: “Test Public Sharing (localhost)”. User accounts can be granted access to read only, or read and write by adding their account to the respective group (and allow login via Samba creating a smb password). To allow a user to either have read only, or read and write accesses to the public share folder create two new groups that govern these privileges: public_readonly and public_readwrite. ~]$ ls -directory -context /srv/public/Įxpected Output: unconfined_u:object_r: public_content_rw_t:s0 /srv/public/ User Permissions Creating the Sharing Groups
Verify security context was correctly applied: Now that the folder has been added to the local system’s filesystem security context registry The restorecon command can be used to ‘restore’ the context to the folder: Restore security context to the /srv/public folder: Verifiy new security filesystem security context:Įxpected Output: (should include) /srv/public(/.*)? all files system_u:object_r:public_content_rw_t:s0 ~]# semanage fcontext -add -type public_content_rw_t "/srv/public(/.*)?"

Remember that booleans for each service must be enabled before they can write to files labeled with this type. Other services, such as Apache HTTP Server, Samba, and NFS, also have access to files labeled with this type. Label files and directories that have been created with the public_content_rw_t type to share them with read and write permissions through vsftpd. Those wanting read only may use: public_content_t. To have read and write access to the public folder the public_content_rw_t security context will be used for this guide. The /srv/ Directory Make the Folder (will provide an error if the folder already exists).Įxpected Output: /srv/public Set Filesystem Security Context File System Structure and Maintenance: 2.1.1.8. This directory gives users the location of data files for a particular service, such as FTP, Red Hat Enterprise Linux 7, Storage Administration Guide: Chapter 2. The /srv/ directory contains site-specific data served by a Red Hat Enterprise Linux system. Create Folderįor this guide the /srv/public/ folder for sharing will be used. It is possible for Samba to share filesystem paths that do not support POSIX ACLs, however this is out of the scope of this guide. In General, this is only an issue for anyone who wishes to share a drive or filesystem that was created outside of the normal Fedora Installation process. Access Control Lists", as it likewise applies to Fedora 32. Samba uses POSIX Access Control Lists (ACLs).įor those who wish to learn more about Access Control Lists, please consider reading the documentation: " Red Hat Enterprise Linux 7: System Administrator's Guide: Chapter 5. Please Note: This guide assumes the public sharing folder is on a Modern Linux Filesystem other filesystems such as NTFS or FAT32 will not work. This part of the guide walks through the process of setting up a shared folder, ready for sharing with Samba. Having a shared public place where authenticated users on an internal network can access files, or even modify and change files if they are given permission, can be very convenient. Note about this guide: The convention ' ~]$' for a local user command prompt, and ' ~]#' for a super user prompt will be used.
Public Folder Sharing (Both Read Only and Read Write).In this guide we provide the minimal instructions to enable:
#Samba server windows#
Originally developed by Microsoft for connecting windows computers together via local-area-networks, it is now extensively used for internal network communications.Īpple used to maintain it’s own independent file sharing called “ Apple Filing Protocol ( AFP)“, however in recent times, it also has also switched to SMB. Samba is a high-quality implementation of Server Message Block protocol (SMB). Sharing files with Fedora 32 using Samba is cross-platform, convenient, reliable, and performant.
