→‎Configuring an SMB Server on Linux

If the previous command worked, use another PC (Fedora then Windows) to establish a connection with the SMB server on your Fedora Linux machine. This step is important to ensure your SMB server on Linux is working. NOTE: If your set up looks correct but you can't connect to your SMB server from the outside then you may need to adjust your firewall to allow SMB connections.

From another Linux PC, use the mount command to mount your home directory onto /mnt. Step 4 in PART B should help you with this. Record this command as you'll need it for PART D.

~~PART D:~~ ==Completing the Lab==Answer the following questions #What is your full name and 9 digit Seneca student ID?#In PART C step 9, explain how you connected to your SMB server on Linux from a Windows PC. List exactly what you had to do on the Windows PC to test your Linux server.#What is the purpose of the testparm command?#What is the purpose of the smbclient command?#What does SMB stand for? CIFS?#What does the text inside square brackets in the smb.conf file mean? (e.g., "[homes]").#Explain the meaning of the line "create mask = 0765" in the smb.conf file?#What does the smbpasswd command do?#What exact mount command did you use in PART C step 10?
