	indexterm:[Samba,share,mounting] Sometimes it is useful to mount a Samba share to a directory so that the files in the directory can be treated as if they are part of the local file system.
	To mount a Samba share to a directory, create a directory to mount it to (if it does not already exist), and execute the following command as `root`:
	[command]#mount -t cifs //pass:attributes[{blank}]_servername_pass:attributes[{blank}]/pass:attributes[{blank}]_sharename_ _/mnt/point/_ -o username=pass:attributes[{blank}]_username_,password=pass:attributes[{blank}]_password_pass:attributes[{blank}]#
	This command mounts _sharename_ from _servername_ in the local directory _/mnt/point/_.
	For more information about mounting a samba share, see the mount.cifs(8) manual page.
	Installing cifs-utils package
	The [application]mount.cifs utility is a separate RPM (independent from Samba). In order to use [application]mount.cifs, first ensure the [package]cifs-utils package is installed on your system by running, as `root`:
	~]#{nbsp}dnf install cifs-utils
	Note that the [package]cifs-utils package also contains the [application]cifs.upcall binary called by the kernel in order to perform kerberized CIFS mounts. For more information on [application]cifs.upcall, see the cifs.upcall(8) manual page.
	CIFS servers that require plain text passwords
	Some CIFS servers require plain text passwords for authentication. Support for plain text password authentication can be enabled using the following command as `root`:
	~]#{nbsp}echo 0x37 > /proc/fs/cifs/SecurityFlags
	This operation can expose passwords by removing password encryption.
	Configuring a Samba Server
	indexterm:[Samba,configuration]indexterm:[Samba,configuration,default] The default configuration file (`/etc/samba/smb.conf`) allows users to view their home directories as a Samba share. It also shares all printers configured for the system as Samba shared printers. You can attach a printer to the system and print to it from the Windows machines on your network.
	====== Graphical Configuration indexterm:[Samba,graphical configuration] To configure Samba using a graphical interface, use one of the available Samba graphical user interfaces. A list of available GUIs can be found at link:++http://www.samba.org/samba/GUI/++[http://www.samba.org/samba/GUI/].
	====== Command-Line Configuration indexterm:[Samba,configuration] Samba uses `/etc/samba/smb.conf` as its configuration file. If you change this configuration file, the changes do not take effect until you restart the Samba daemon with the following command, as `root`:
	~]#{nbsp}systemctl restart smb.service
	To specify the Windows workgroup and a brief description of the Samba server, edit the following lines in your `/etc/samba/smb.conf` file:
	workgroup = _WORKGROUPNAME_ server string = _BRIEF COMMENT ABOUT SERVER_
	Replace _WORKGROUPNAME_ with the name of the Windows workgroup to which this machine should belong. The _BRIEF COMMENT ABOUT SERVER_ is optional and is used as the Windows comment about the Samba system.
	To create a Samba share directory on your Linux system, add the following section to your `/etc/samba/smb.conf` file (after modifying it to reflect your needs and your system):
	An Example Configuration of a Samba Server
	[pass:attributes[{blank}]_sharename_pass:attributes[{blank}]] comment = _Insert a comment here_ path = _/home/share/_ valid users = _tfox carole_ writable = yes create mask = 0765
	The above example allows the users [command]#tfox# and [command]#carole# to read and write to the directory `/home/share/`, on the Samba server, from a Samba client.
	====== Encrypted Passwords
	Encrypted passwords are enabled by default because it is more secure to use them. To create a user with an encrypted password, use the `smbpasswd` utility:
	[command]#smbpasswd -a _username_pass:attributes[{blank}]#
