Introduction
The Samba project moves fast. This article was last checked for version 4.04. Your mileage may vary! |
This tutorial is designed to take you through building a Samba Active Directory Domain Controller on CentOS 6. As CentOS is derived from RHEL, the tutorial should work equally on Red Hat, Scientific Linux and Oracle Linux.
Where possible this tutorial links back to core non-distro specific pages elsewhere on this wiki. This helps ensure that you don't miss out on information other contributors have added or changed since this tutorial was last edited.
Preparing your system
Pre-requisite packages
We're going to build Samba and BIND from source. Therefore you'll need to setup your system with the pre-requisite packages for doing so. The required packages are listed here under the 'Red Hat Enterprise Linux or CentOS' header.
Filesystem changes
Samba also requires Access Control List functionality enabling. ACL provides a more flexible way of dealing with file permissions. It's already installed in CentOS 6, but you need to enable it in fstab.
Edit
/etc/fstab
and add the acl attribute to the partition which will hold your Samba installation. You can do this by adding
acl
after any other options as per below.
UID=xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx / ext4 defaults,acl 0 2
