Samba

This page contains information on various use cases of Samba on Void.

Client

You'll want to install cifs-utils and smbclient.

Here is an example fstab entry, from the Samba wiki:

//192.168.2.100/share	/mnt/oneterra		cifs	guest,_netdev,uid=mike 0 0

_netdev is used to wait until a network is brought up before mounting.

Tip: You can also use noauto to keep the system from automatically mounting the share.

here is an example command from the Samba wiki:

mount -t cifs -o user=luke //192.168.1.104/share /mnt/linky_share

Install the server by running:

# xbps-install -S samba

Enable the server by running:

# ln -s /etc/sv/smbd /var/service/

Edit the default configuration file using your favorite editor:

# vim /etc/samba/smb.conf
