null passwords = yes [data1] comment = /mnt/data1 directory on %h path = /mnt/data1 guest ok = yes writeable = yes The parameters included in the file are: interfaces. Required for Samba high availability. Specify the actual network IP address of the Virtual Samba server that is to be used to access this Samba share. The network address must include the IP address and the netmask. The netmask can be specified in either the full dot format or CIDR format, as in the sample file. In CIDR format, /24 is class C, /16 is class B, and /8 is class A. socket address. Required for Samba high availability. Specify the network IP address of the actual Virtual Samba server that is to be used to access this Samba share. Security. Optional. Very insecure (unchallenged authentication) for demonstration purposes. Change as necessary for your environment. null passwords. Optional. Very insecure (unchallenged authentication) for demonstration purposes. Change as necessary for your environment. comment. Used to more easily identify the share. path. Required for Samba high availability. Specify the actual share mount point for the PSFS filesystem containing the data to be shared. guest ok. Optional. writeable. Optional. Several other parameters can be used in the smb.conf. file to define characteristics about the share. For information about the available parameters, see your Samba documentation. Set Samba user passwords If necessary, set each Samba user's password by using the following command. A Samba user account will not be active until a Samba password is set for it. smbpasswd -a Copy the Samba configuration files to other nodes After you have configured the Samba files, run the /opt/hpcfs/tools/ smbcfg_dist utility on the same node to copy the smb.default file, the HP Scalable NAS File Serving Software administration guide 407
