LAN implementation of linux and Windows file shares

File sharing is a critical network requirements, especially in enterprise environments that demand very urgent.

We know that the Windows hosts file sharing is very simple, you can achieve through my network places. But enterprise environment in host operating system is more complex, many Linux and Unix systems. That's how to implement Windows and Linux file sharing between? an effective liberation programme is, on the Linux platform to deploy SAMBA can be realized such sharing needs. The following author build environment, instance demo on Linux deployment for more technical details of the SAMBA. Environment description Linux system: RedHat9.0 Windows systems: WindowsXPsp2 i. SAMBA service deployment 1, samba installation (1). Verify samba is Linux system integration of a tool, in the process of installing Linux users can choose to install. Verify that the system is installed samba can be viewed using the following command: root @ localhost root] # rpm-qa | grepsamba if, as shown below, you have already installed samba: samba-swat-2.2.7a-7.9.0 samba-2.2.7a-7.9.0 redhat-config-samba-1.0.4-1 samba-common-2.2.7a-7.9.0 samba-client-2.2.7a-7.9.0 from Figure 1 you can see the author of Linux already installed samba.
