Known as Windows file sharing, the Samba server (and client) in Fedora Core 32 is part of the "Windows File Server" package group. It also is available as two stand-alone packages called samba, and samba-client. (Samba client is covered further below.)

1)
To install:
[root@localhost ~]# dnf groupinstall "Windows File Server" --allowerasing

The "yum" command could also be used in place of "dnf". In either case, the option "--allowerasing" lets old packages be removed in order to resolve dependencies.

An alternative is to install only the server. This might be used in a case where there is no need to browse samba shares from the server:
dnf install samba cifs-utils --allowerasing

2)
Once installed, make a directory to share, and edit the configuration file:
[root@localhost ~]# mkdir /home/testshare
[root@localhost ~]# vi /etc/samba/smb.conf

("vim" could also be used to edit if it's installed. It's my preference. "vim" is found in the "vim-enhanced" and "vim-X11" packages).

3)
Add the following lines into your file. Change "PRACTICE" into your actual workgroup name, SERVER1 into your server name, 192.168.1. into your actual IP address prefix, and user1 / group1 into any legitimate users and/or groups you're allowing.

Variables are preceeded by a % (percent) sign. Comments are preceeded by a # (number / hashtag) sign.

[global]
     unix charset = UTF-8
     netbios name = SERVER1
     workgrouop = PRACTICE
     hosts allow = 192.168.1. 127.
     server string = Samba Server 1 %v
     security = user
     passdb backend = tdbsam
 
[TestShare]
     comment = TestShare
     path = /home/testshare
     valid users = user1 @group1       #users and groups allowed to access
     public = no
     writeable = yes
     write list = user1             #users and groups allowed to save
     create mode = 0775

Save the file, and exit.

4)
Test and verify the syntax of the configuration file:
[root@localhost ~]# testparm

5)
If the firewall is running (firewalld), and it probably is, the samba protocol needs to be allowed to pass through:
[root@localhost ~]# systemctl status firewalld
[root@localhost ~]# firewall-cmd --permanent --add-service=samba
[root@localhost ~]# firewall-cmd --reload
[root@localhost ~]# firewall-cmd --list-services

6)
The next important step is to make sure SELinux (if it's running -- which it likely is) will allow users functional access to files via samba:
[root@localhost ~]# setsebool -P samba_enable_home_dirs on

In some instances, these following two may be necessary. Use with great care as "_ro" lets samba read all files on a system, and "_rw" lets samba share all files on a system:
[root@localhost ~]# setsebool -P samba_export_all_ro on
[root@localhost ~]# setsebool -P samba_export_all_rw on

Then refresh the connection to the share:
[root@localhost ~]# restorecon -R /home/testshare

7)
Before we're finished, we must also create samba users. These are basically extensions of accounts for system users. If you haven't already done so, you would add a user to the system first, and then add the user to samba:
[root@localhost ~]# useradd user1
[root@localhost ~]# passwd user1
[root@localhost ~]# pdbedit -a user1

8)
Finally, enable the service allowing it to both restart now and on re-boot:
[root@localhost ~]# systemctl enable --now smb

The process should be complete, and your samba server should be successfully running!

As with the server in Fedora Core 32, the client is available as a package called samba-client, and the first step is installation if it weren't already installed above.

1)
To install:
[root@localhost ~]# dnf install samba-client --allowerasing

Again, the "yum" command could also be used in place of "dnf". In either case, the option "--allowerasing" lets old packages be removed in order to resolve dependencies.

2)
Samba also uses client access ports, and the firewall may be blocking browsing through them so be sure to allow access for them as well:
[root@localhost ~]# firewall-cmd --permanent --add-port=137-138/udp
[root@localhost ~]# firewall-cmd --reload

To browse available shares for a user, enter the following command:
[root@localhost ~]# smbclient -L SERVER1 -U user1

And that should have you covered. Enjoy!
