Getting Samba working on Archlinux is a little different to Debian with which I am a little more familiar. This is how I got it going on ArchLinux (SoA).
I installed Samba using pacman -S samba because I did not see any smb.conf file in /etc/samba. For whatever reason after the install there was still no smb.conf there, so I copied an old version over from my USB hard disk and modified it. This is the text of the working file: [global] workgroup = your_Windows_Workgroup_name server string = Squeeze on Arch local master = yes domain master = yes preferred master = yes os level = 255 password server = None guest ok = yes #guest account = root guest account = nobody #security = SHARE security = user map to guest = Bad Password netbios name = Wandboard # These improve performance large readwrite = yes socket options = TCP_NODELAY IPTOS_LOWDELAY SO_KEEPALIVE follow symlinks = yes wide links = yes # Fix for OSX unix extensions = no [files] comment = Read/Write file share path = /mnt guest ok = yes writeable = yes create mask = 0777 I then edited the file /etc/hosts as follows #<ip-address> <hostname.domain.org> <hostname> 127.0.0.1 localhost.localdomain localhost Wandboard ::1 localhost.localdomain localhost and the file /etc/hostname to show Wandboard _ENABLING_AND_STARTING_SERVICES_ systemctl enable smbd.service systemctl enable nmbd.service systemctl enable samba.service systemctl start smbd.service systemctl start nmbd.service systemctl start samba.service *_Job_done._* Squeezebox Classic:2; Duet: 1; Boom:1; Touch:1; Wandboard Quad; Squeezelite.
