The experiment above may lead readers to believe that the Samba service program is designed only to solve the resource sharing problem of Linux and Windows systems. I n fact, the Samba service program can also implement file sharing between Linux systems. Readers are requested to follow Table 12-5 to set the IP addresses used by the host of the Samba service provider (i.e., the Samba share server) and the Linux client, and then install the package (cifs-utils) that supports the file-sharing service on the client.

Table 12-5 Samba shares the operating system and IP address used by the server and linux clients respectively

Host Name Operating System IP Address Samba Shared Server RHEL 7 192.168.10.10 Linux Client RHEL 7 192.168.10.20 Windows Client Windows 7 192.168.10.30 (root@linuxprobe- yum install cifs-utilsed plugins: langpacks, product-id, subscription-manager rhel | 4.1 kB 00:00 Resolving Dependencies --> Running transaction check ---> Package cifs-utils.x86_64 0:6.2-6.el7 will be installed --> Finished Dependency Resolution Dependencies Resolved

On linux clients, the relevant information is written to a authentication file in the order of the Samba service's username, password, and shared domain. In order to ensure that it is not seen freely by others, finally modify the permissions of this authentication file to read and write only to root administrators:

a root@linuxprobe directory for mounting Sam root@linuxprobe ba service sharing resources on the Linux client and writing mounted information to/etc/fstab file to ensure that the shared mount information remains in effect after the server restarts:

[root@linuxprobe ~]# mkdir /database [root@linuxprobe ~]# vim /etc/fstab #

/etc/fstab

[root@linuxprobe ~]# mount -a

The Linux client successfully mounted the shared resources of the Samba service. W hen you go to the mount directory/database, you can see the files left behind when Windows accesses the Samba service program (i.e., the file memo .txt). Of course, we can also read and write to the file and save it.

[root@linuxprobe ~]# cat /database/Memo.txt i can edit it . H ave a problem? Ask bold questions!
