   Set Up a Samba Share

   1. Install the Samba packages:

      yum install samba -y
      

   2. Edit /etc/samba/smb.conf and add the following section at the bottom:

      [share]
              browsable = yes
              path = /smb
              writable = yes
      

      Save and exit.

   3. Create a user to share the mount point:

      useradd shareuser
      

      smbpasswd -a shareuser
      

   4. Create the directory we're sharing out:

      mkdir /smb
      

   5. Start the smb service:

      systemctl start smb
      

   6. Make sure the client can write to the directory:

      chmod 777 /smb
      

   7. On the client, run:

      mkdir /mnt/smb
      

   8. On the client, install the CIFS utilities:

      yum install cifs-utils -y
      

   9. On the client, run:

      mount -t cifs //<IP_OF_SERVER>/share /mnt/smb -o username=shareuser,password=<PASSWORD_SET_WITH_SMBPASSWD>
      

2. Challenge

   Set Up the NFS Share

   1. Install the required package:

      yum install nfs-utils -y
      

   2. Create the mount point that will be served out:

      mkdir /nfs
      

   3. Edit /etc/exports, adding the following line:

      /nfs *(rw)
      

      Save and exit the file.

   4. Make sure it's writable:

      chmod 777 /nfs
      

   5. Export the directory we've configured in /etc/exports:

      exportfs -a
      

   6. Start the required services:

      systemctl start {rpcbind,nfs-server,rpc-statd,nfs-idmapd}
      

   7. On the client, install the required package:

      yum install nfs-utils -y
      

   8. Create the mount point:

      mkdir /mnt/nfs
      

   9. Check to see what's being shared out on the NFS server:

      showmount -e <NFS_SERVER_IP>
      

   10. Start the required service:

       systemctl start rpcbind
       

   11. Mount it:

       mount -t nfs <NFS_SERVER_IP>:/nfs /mnt/nfs
