Samba is very easy to install. However it requires a fully installed LDAP Server from previous chapter:

aptitude install samba

Create a global exchange folder:

mkdir /media/4all

Edit /etc/samba/smb.conf

[global]

workgroup = x2gogroup
server string = %h server (Samba %v)
netbios name = x2goserver
passdb backend = ldapsam:ldap://x2goserver

[share]

[4all]

Restart your samba daemon:

/etc/init.d/samba restart

To test your new server you may open Konqueror and type:

smb://192.168.0.250 (Test environment was 192.168.0.5!)

You will notice that you have full read/write access to the 4all share.
