1. Review Samba overview, caveats, and other information. |
To avoid the unexpected, such as users being able to view the content of other users’ home directories, review the following sections before you install Samba: |
|
2. Install the Novell Samba components on the server. |
You can install Novell Samba components on your OES 2 server as part of the initial server installation, or you can add them later. For more information, see Section 3.2, Installing the Novell Samba Components. |
|
3. Create Samba users in eDirectory. |
Network administrators create eDirectory users with the same usernames and passwords as the users have on their Windows workstations. For more information, see Section 6.1, Creating eDirectory Users for Samba. |
|
4. Create shares for the users to work in and grant the users access rights to the directories. |
Users need to have access to the directories on the OES server where they can create and store data. For more information, see Section 7.5, Typical Samba Configuration Scenarios. |
|
5. Understand the access options available to users and communicate those options to them. |
