Off-course you need to have one windows machine to check the samba server that must be reachable with the CentOS 7.0 server. My Centos 7.0 server have hostname server1.example.com & IP as 192.168.0.100.

Werry good:D tho i have a problem, i can access my home folder from Windows 10, but i cant access my Raid Array folders.

The goal is to make a backup of the file AND to start with a new and empty file as you should paste the whole content of the file that is shown there and not edit any old content, so using mv here is the right command.

The alternative to use mv would be: cp /etc/samba/smb.conf /etc/samba/smb.conf.bak cat /dev/null  /etc/samba/smb.conf So you would have to use 2 commands to have a renamed copy and start with an empty file then instead of using just the one mv command. The anonymous share works just fine, but the secured share does not work no matter what I try. I followed the instructions, restored my server from a backup and started the tutorial over 4 times. I can't authenticate with my samba user. The samba user can access the directory through SSH just fine.

There is a problem with file ownership when more than one user works on the secured folder. I create two users in the same group (user1-user2), but the created files of each user are with the same user (Equivalent to a chown user1: user1).
