Samba Server Install on Debian 7 (Wheezy) This guide explains how to install and configure Samba server in Debian 7 with anonymous and secured samba servers. Samba is an Open Source/Free Software suite that provides seamless file and print services to SMB/CIFS clients. Samba is freely available, unlike other SMB/CIFS implementations, and allows for interoperability between Linux/Unix servers and Windows-based clients.

'chmod -R 0777' ? Please - you certainly know better. There is never a good reason for 777 permissions !
I fully agree with you. I asked the author to update the tutorial.
In my case the line:
vi /etc/samba/smb.cnf
should read:
vi /etc/samba/smb.conf
Otherwise I get a error that it cant open config file when I start samba.
Just to shorten up a bit, you can choose between
writable = yesOR
read only = noboth seem redundant for me
I put it to the test this day and it worked, good post.
Thanks a lot. I followed precisely, and it worked exactly
nice info for me who is a beginner on Debian.
