Here is my configuration for the classic File-Server Samba. Whith this service you can access your shares from Windows, Linux and some other Operatingsystems which supports the CIFS-Protocol. With the share homes you can share the Home-Directories of your users over the network.
You want to use OpenLDAP for Samba authentication etc.? Then you should first finish the OpenLDAP Howto
If you don't use OpenLDAP, you have to create an additional password file for your Samba users with the following commands:
smbpasswd -a user1The usernames have to be identical with your system user names. This is necessary for mapping the UIDs to the Samba-users.
smbpasswd -a user2
If you want to use this solution you need the following howto(s) finished:
emerge net-fs/samba

Owner: root
Group: root

$line="";
}
For starting the new service after system reboot you should add it to a runlevel with the following command(s):
rc-update add samba
