Hi,
I need to setup a shared network drive in linux in an otherwise windows
environment. (To get around a windows size limit) I know about Samba, and
that it's often been a pain for me. Are there any other options or easy
ways to set up a network drive using CentOS or something else? I'm
Hi Josh,
If editing config files not your bag, try freenas, openfiler, ClearOS, etc.
However, I just set up Samba on CentOS 6 last night and it went pretty
painless (much easier than BIND on CentOS 6). There are examples on the
Internet that you can use that will pretty much do anything you
Samba can be a bit tricky, especially if you are trying to enforce user
access rights. My favorite combination is:
- Samba for share management PDC
- OpenLDAP for user management
- Webmin to configure the server
- GOsa to manage user access configuration
YMMV

I would rake a look at webmin's samba configuration.

For a pure file server, I second openfile and freenas, as they're quick
and almost braindead easy to setup. Openfiler, if you can figure it
out, actually can do real enterprise-style clustering with drdb as well
almost oob for a nice plus.

I saw the bit about GOsa and followed to it's fork, fusiondirectory,
which actually seemed rather cool and undiscovered for me. How's yours
or anyone's here experience been with it vs. an Active Directory setup?
Do you treat them mutually exclusively for lin/win?
I'm curious as I always
