Testing the Samba configuration on ordinary files

About this task

Test the Samba installation and configuration using ordinary files and directories before attempting to use Samba to provide file access to VOBs and views.

Procedure

Create a directory on your Samba server (for example, /testshare/testdir) and a test file in that directory (for example, /testshare/testdir/testfile).
Create a Samba share using testshare as the share name and /testshare as the path name for the share.
On a Windows® client, create a file in the Samba share. Then verify that the user and group ownership and permissions for that file are correct on Linux® or the UNIX® system.
Verify that all Windows clients can access the Samba share, including testing permission and access restrictions.
