In this tutorial, we’re going to learn how to install and configure a samba server on CentOS 8/RHEL8 to share files on the local network. Samba is a free and open-source SMB/CIFS protocol implementation for Unix and Linux that allows for file and print sharing between Linux, Windows and macOS machines in a local area network.
Samba is usually installed and run on Linux. It comprises several programs that serve different but related purposes, the most important two of which are:
- smbd: provides SMB/CIFS service (file sharing and printing), can also act as a Windows domain controller.
- nmbd: This daemon provides NetBIOS name service, listens for name-server requests. It also allows the Samba server to be found by other computers on the network.
