Samba is a group of Linux programs designed to be able to interact with windows default file sharing protocol SMB. The samba package offers a service which can be used to share media on a linux based machine to both XBMC and your home Windows PC easily. This article assumes some basic knowledge of the linux environment. All elements are done from a command line as it reduces confusion.

==Installing Samba==
Due to the diversity of linux distros only two methods will be covered in this article the standard linux install and one using Gentoo's emerge package manager.

*Installing Samba regardless of distro
#<code>wget http://us4.samba.org/samba/ftp/samba-latest.tar.gz</code>
#<code>tar -xvf samba-latest.tar.gz</code>
#<code>cd samba-{version}</code> (At this time its samba-3.0.22)
#<code>./configure</code>
#<code>make install</code>

*Installing Samba using Gentoo's emerge
#<code>emerge samba</code>

==Configuring Samba shares==
Note: Currently only the config for a public share will be posted.

Samba's configuration is stored <code>/etc/samba/smb.conf</code>. All the following items should be placed in that file.

*Global configuration
[global]
workgroup = <workgroup>
netbios name = <name of server>
server string = <title>
log file = /var/log/samba/log.%m
max log size = 50
map to guest = bad user
socket options = TCP_NODELAY SO_RCVBUF=8192 SO_SNDBUF=8192
local master = no
dns proxy = no

:;workgroup : Should be set to the workgroup your home pc uses if you planning on accessing this share from a windows PC
:;netbios name : This is the name that will be displayed when browsing the your Network Neighborhood
:;server string : The title of the server that will be displayed in windows(This is not the share name)

*Share configuration
[public]
path = <dir to share>
public = yes
only guest = yes
writable = yes

:;path : Set this to the path to be shared by samba
