Then logoff & login
 
Now install the package.

#yum install samba* -y

Create three users

#useradd u1
#useradd u2
#useradd u3
 Assign the samba password to the users.
#smbpasswd -a u1
New SMB password: *******
Retype new SMB password: ********
Added user u1.
#smbpasswd -a u2
New SMB password: *******
Retype new SMB password: ********
Added user u2.
 #smbpasswd -a u3
New SMB password: *******
Retype new SMB password: ********
Added user u3.
Create a directory with full permission.
#mkdir -m 777 /linuxdata
 Create multiple files
#touch /linuxdata/smb{1..10}
#chmod 666 /linuxdata/smb2
Edit the configuration file
#vim /etc/samba/smb.conf
set the line numbers.
:se nu
go to following line numbers and edit as below
282 [sambashare]
283 comment =  samba group samba server
283 path = /linuxdata
285 valid users = u1,u2,u3(adding manually)
286 public = no
287 writable = yes
288 printable = no
:wq!
Restart the service
#service smb restart
To activate Samba service permanently
#chkconfig smb on
Go the sys2, samba serve linux client configuration, NFS method
 create a directory
#mkdir /localdir
#mount <samba server ip> <sharename> <localmount point> -o username=<username>
#mount //192.168.0.253/sambashare  /localdir -o username=u1
Enter into mount point to 
#cd /localdir
To check the list of files
#ls
Create a file
#touch newfiles{1..10}

Using FTP method:

#smbclient //192.168.0.253/sambashare -U u2
To download file
smb:> get smb2
smb:> quit.

Using Samba server windows client configuration:

Connect to windows pc remotely
#rdekstop 192.168..0.150 -u administrator -p password123 -f
Go to Mycomputer, right click and select "MAP network drive".
Drive: L
Folder:\\192.168.0.253\sambashare

Profit and Loss

Cost Price (C.P.) The price at which an article is purchased or manufactured is called its cost price. Selling Price (S.P.) The price at which an article is sold, is called its selling price. Profit If the selling price of an article is greater than its cost price, we say that there is a profit or gain. Profit = Selling Price - Cost Price When S.P.>C.P. Profit = S.P. - C.P. S.P.= C.P.+Profit C.P.=S.P.-Profit Profit % = Profit/C.P. * 100 Profit = Profit % * C.P. When C.P.  and Profit% are given then, S.P. = C.P. * ((100+Profit %)/100) When S.P. and Profit % are given then C.P.= 100* S.P./100+ Profit % Loss If the selling price of an article is less than tits cost price, we say that there is a loss. Loss = Cost Price - Selling Price  When C.P.>S.P. Loss = C.P. - S.P. S.P.= C.P.-Loss C.P.=S.P.+Loss Loss % = Loss/C.P. * 100 Loss = Loss % * C.P. When C.P.  and Loss % are given then, S.P. = C.P. * ((100-Loss %)/100) When ...
