SMB / Samba NAS Configurations

How to setup Samba with two workgroups? How to setup Samba to follow symbolic links?

Problem: we have shares for each users. if I want to access it from Windows, I have to enter password. if I don't this on first access, windows won't ask my anymore to enter password and just denies access. How can I force windows, to reenter password for share ???

If your samba password doesn't work then run this on core to update your samba password:

sudo smbpasswd pluto_USER

where USER is your username. For instance to change john's password run sudo smbpasswd pluto_john

Adding fileserver on the external network

The external network does not get scanned for Samba servers. You can easily add a new server by going into the web admin

• Click Show Device Tree
• Click CORE
• On the right hand side, click Create Child Device
• Click Pick Device Template
• In the popup select File Server from the drop down box, it should be ID 1837
• Now, it is important to fill out 2 fields
  • The IP address
  • and the MAC address
• The username and password are only needed if the file server requires them.
