Howto: Adding share in samba server under Linux or UNIX

Q. How do I add share called incoming? This share definitions should be linked up to directory called /home/incoming.
A. You can define a share using samba configuration file itself. Open /etc/samba/smb.conf file and add code snippet as follows:
# vi /etc/samba/smb.conf
Add following code:

[incoming]
   comment = Icomming data
   writable = yes
   path = /home/incoming

Save close the file. Restart Samba :
# /etc/init.d/samba restart
If you are using Redhat/CentOS/Fedora core type:
# service smb restart
