Configuring Samba on OpenBSD 5.2 

Configure Samba, 

cd /etc/samba/

mv smb.conf smb.conf.dist

sed '/^#/d; /^;/d; /^$/d;' smb.conf.dist > smb.conf

vi smb.conf

  ==> change workgroup

  ==> disable load printers

  ==> remove the [homes] stanza

  ==> remove the [printers] stanza

add some additionall configuration options to the [global] stanza, 

unix extensions = no

allow insecure wide links = no

printing = BSD

note. printing=bsd to avoid a recurrent error about CUPS in the logs... printcap name=/etc/printcap should work also. 

and add a specific share like e.g., 

[data]

        path = /data

        valid users = USERNAME

        writable = yes

        printable = no

note. change USERNAME accordingly. 

Make sure the USERNAME user exists and configure its Samba account, 

smbpasswd -a USERNAME

Start and enable Samba at boot, 

/etc/rc.d/samba start

cd /etc/

cat >> rc.conf.local <<EOF9

samba_flags=""

EOF9
