Introduction

Samba is an Open Source/Free Software suite that has, since 1992, provided file and print services to all manner of SMB/CIFS clients, including the numerous versions of Microsoft Windows operating systems

  • Mounting windows shares
  • Sharing folders for Windows computers

First you must have a right kernel configuration to enable the usage of SAMBA :

  • You must have a networking support (trivial).......
  • "File systems->Network File Systems->SMB file system support" is enabled
  • "File systems->Network File Systems->SMB file system->Use a default NLS" is enabled
    • "withs Default Remote NLS Option = cp437"
  • "File systems->Network File Systems->CIFS support" is enabled
  • "File systems->Network File Systems->Native Language Support"
    • Codepage 437 (United States, Canada)
    • Codepage 850 (Europe)
    • NLS ISO 8859-1 (Latin 1; Western European Languages)
    • NLS ISO 8859-1 (Latin 1; Western European Languages) (this is optional)
