Setting up the Incoming Samba Share

The following steps need to be run as root.

1. Create a user for samba logins to use: useradd -M -s /sbin/nologin digitize
   • A group of the same name is needed and this group will be created on Red Hat systems by default.
2. Next add dmlserv to the digitize group just created: usermod -G digitize dmlserv
3. Give a samba password and add the new user: smbpasswd -a digitize
4. Create the samba share by editing /etc/samba/smb.conf:

   [digitization]
           comment = Variations 3 Content
           path = /home/dmlserv/content/loader
           valid users = digitize
           writeable = yes
           create mask = 775
           directory mask = 775
   

5. Restart samba to apply the new settings: /etc/init.d/smb restart
6. Change the owning group of the audio and score incoming directories:
   chgrp digitize /home/dmlserv/content/loader/audio/incoming
chgrp digitize /home/dmlserv/content/loader/score/incoming
