Setting up Samba on CentOS 6 with Likewise 6

The setup is pretty simple but there are a few gotchas that aren’t in the setup instructions.

Edit /etc/sysconfig/selinux and change Enforcing to Permissive and reboot.

Download, install Likewise 6 and join it to the domain. URL: http://www.beyondtrust.com/Technical-Support/Downloads/PowerBroker-Identity-

Services-Open-Edition/

Install samba and winbind. yum install samba samba-winbind (need winbind installed but not started, first gotcha)

chkconfig smb on

Edit /etc/samba/smb.conf and make sure you have these correct: [global] security = ADS workgroup = DOMAIN realm = DOMAIN.COM machine password timeout = 0 server string = hostname netbios name = hostname

/opt/likewise/bin/samba-interop-install --install

cd /var/lib/samba/private/

ln -s secrets.tdb smbpasswd | Another gotcha.

Configure at least 1 share in your smb.conf file.

/etc/init.d/smb restart
