More Samba Setup

It seems to be working OK. I can create files and directories in my new share, and the groups and permissions look good.

However, my guides are telling me that a little more setup is needed.

Enable WINS host resolution

Edit /etc/nsswitch.conf and change hosts: files dns to hosts: files wins dns

Add the root user to the SAMBA password database

sudo smbpasswd -a root

Setup the Adminstrator alias in /etc/samba/smbusers

sudo echo "root = Administrator" > /etc/samba/smbusers

Setup the default domain groups for windows

sudo net groupmap modify ntgroup="Domain Admins" unixgroup=root
sudo net groupmap modify ntgroup="Domain Users" unixgroup=users
sudo net groupmap modify ntgroup="Domain Guests" unixgroup=nogroup

Restart the service daemon

sudo /etc/init.d/samba restart

Unless I want to setup a printer someday, the Samba config should be done.
