James,

I used this Samba guide to install it on a Red Hat server for a client. It was absolutely invaluable, really appreciate this documentation!

Very good and practical tutorial. I just had problems getting the service to work because in this documentation it was missing to release the service on the firewall.

$ sudo firewall-cmd --permanent --add-service=samba
$ sudo firewall-cmd --reload

To check if it's released:

$ sudo firewall-cmd --list-services

# smbclient ‘\2.168.43.121\private’ -U smbuser (In this line starting ip address is missing kindly update asap).

Thanks for your documentation.
