  1. Verify that the firewall service is configured correctly for SMB.

    $ rpm -q samba samba-client
samba-4.2.4-4.19.s390x
samba-client-4.2.4-4.19.s390x
  3. Update /etc/samba/smb.conf:
    $ cat /etc/samba/smb.conf
...
# For testing
        guest ok = yes
        read only = no
        browseable = yes
        load printers = no
        printing = bsd
        printcap name = /dev/null
        disable spoolss = yes
...
include = /etc/samba/test_smb.conf
  4. Add share:
    $ cat /etc/samba_test_smb.conf
...
[test001]
    path = /mnt/test001
...
  5. Add sambaTest user:
    $ useradd -M -s /sbin/nologin sambaTest
$ passwd <password> sambaTest
$ smbpasswd -a sambaTest
$ smbpasswd -e sambaTest
$ groupadd testGroup
$ usermod -a -G testGroup sambaTest
$ chown -R sambaTest:testGroup /mnt/test*
$ chmod 2775 /mnt/test001
