File Sharing using Samba and NFS
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

NFS - Network File System  (popular in UNIX shops)
Samba - Windows Networking

$ sudo apt-get install samba  # 
$ sudo apt-get install swat # Samba Web Admin Tool

Edit the /etc/samba/smb.conf file
Change the workgroup value to UP-ITTC
Uncomment the [homes] section by removing the ;'s
Save the file.

Then restart Samba

$ sudo /etc/init.d/smbd restart

Add an SMB user:

$ sudo smbpasswd -a username

$ smbclient -L localhost # to list shares on the "localhost"

$ smbclient //hostname/sharename

Samba is important for Windows Networking interoperability.
