\n<\/code><\/p>\nManage Samba users<\/h3>\n
In this example a new Linux user called ‘admin’ will be created\/modified\/removed and this user will be added to the samba configuration.<\/p>\n
Add users<\/h5>\n
# useradd admin<\/p>\npasswd admin<\/h1>\nsmbpasswd -a admin<\/code><\/h1>\n
Modify users<\/p>\n
# passwd admin<\/p>\nsmbpasswd admin<\/code><\/h1>\nRemove users<\/h5>\n
# smbpasswd -x admin<\/p>\nuserdel -r admin<\/code><\/h1>\nAllowing user to access samba share<\/h3>\n
Configure the Samba share in the \/etc\/samba\/smb.conf configuration file to allow the new user to browse the share:<\/p>\n
# vi \/etc\/samba\/smb.conf
\n[share1]
\ncomment = A Shared Directory
\npath = \/var\/tmp\/sharedir
\nvalid users = admin<\/strong>
\npublic = no
\nwritable = yes<\/code><\/p>\nReload the smb.conf configuration file with below command.<\/p>\n
# systemctl reload smb<\/code><\/p>\nMount driveletter from windows<\/h3>\n
To mount the example above, use this command on Windows cmd.exe-terminal:<\/p>\n

Looking at the message log file at \/var\/log\/messages showed the following:<\/p>\n
# tail -f \/var\/log\/samba\/log.smbd<\/p>\nsmbd: make_connection_snum: canonicalize_connect_path failed for service share, path \/PATH TO SHARE\/share<\/code><\/h1>\n
In case you see this error message, while you try to connect to your share, then verify following settings.<\/p>\n
Make sure the folder has the execute bit enabled<\/h5>\n
# chmod -R a+x \/PATH TO SHARE\/<\/code><\/p>\nMake sure smbv2 is enabled<\/h5>\n
# vi \/etc\/samba\/smb.conf
