+======Project: network services (samba)======
+this project is going to be done all by my lonesome
+this project was started may 1st 2013 and hopefully will only take a couple of hours
+=====Objectives=====
+This project is required by the class, the reason for doing this project is to learn how to set up a samba server and communicate with windows machines
+=====Prerequisites=====
+Linux VM Server Install
+Creating Virtual Machines
+=====Background=====
+The commercialization of the Internet over the past few years has created something of a modern melting pot. It has brought business-folk and technologists closer together than was previously thought possible. As a side effect, Windows and Unix systems have been invading each others' turf, and people expect that they will not only play together nicely, but that they will share.
+=====Scope=====
+for this project I am attempting to set up a samba server, I am doing this to try to get a windows and a Linux machine to communicate, I hope to make a socket for this as well but if not I will continue to work on this even after the semester.  I also am making one for windows too and hope to get them communicating
+=====Attributes=====
+State and justify the attributes you'd like to receive upon successful approval and completion of this project.
+  I guess the overall attributes I would like to obtain in this is some networking experience between the two of the operating systems
+=====Procedure=====
+steps:
+) first you need to install samba using apt-get install samba
+) Now activate  the  line security = user
+type the command: vi /etc/samba/smb.conf
+and add the following text
+# “security = user” is always a good idea. This will require a Unix account
+# in this server for every user accessing the server. See
+# /usr/share/doc/samba-doc/htmldocs/Samba3-HOWTO/ServerType.html
+# in the samba-doc package for details.
+security = user
+This enables Linux system users to log in to the Samba server.
+save , exit and restart Samba:
+)next use the command /etc/init.d/samba restart, this restarts your samba
+) now add the samba shares, This will add a share that will be accessible from  all users.
+    Create the directory for sharing the files and change the group to the users group:
+    mkdir -p /home/samba-share/allusers
+    chown -R root:users /home/samba-share/allusers/
+    chmod -R ug+rwx,o+rx-w /home/samba-share/allusers/
+  - At the end of the file /etc/samba/smb.conf add the following lines:
+    First open the smb.conf file using the command:
+    vi /etc/samba/smb.conf
+    add the following text
+    [allusers]
+    comment = All Users
+    path = /home/samba-share/allusers
+    valid users = @users
+    force group = users
+    create mask = 0660
+    directory mask = 0771
+    writable = yes
+    If you want all users to be able to read and write to their home directories via Samba, add the following lines to   /etc/samba/smb.conf:
+    [homes]
+    comment = Home Directories
+    browseable = no
+    valid users = @users
+    writable = yes
+    create mask = 0700
+    directory mask = 0700
+    save and restart Samba:
+    /etc/init.d/samba restart
+) Add and manage the Users
+   use the command useradd  samba-user -m -G users, just replace the desired name for samba-user
+) next you need to set up a password for the user
+   passwd samba-user     just replace samba-user with the name used to create profile
+) now add the user to the samba database
+   smbpasswd -a samba-user      once again replace the samba-user with the name used for the profile
+   NOW YOU HAVE A SAMBA SERVER BEEATCHES!!!
+=====Code=====
+Upon completion of the project, if there is an applicable collection of created code, place a copy of your finished code within <nowiki><code> </code></nowiki> blocks here.
+<code c>
+/*
+ * hello.c - A sample "Hello, World!" program
+ *
+ * written by NAME for COURSE on DATE
+ *
+ * compile with:
+ *   gcc -o hello hello.c
+ *
+ * execute with:
+ *   ./hello
+ */
+#include <stdio.h>
+int main()
+{
+    printf("Hello, World!\n");    // Output message to STDOUT
+    return(0);
+}
+</code>
+=====Execution=====
+Again, if there is associated code with the project, and you haven't already indicated how to run it, provide a sample run of your code:
+<cli>
+lab46:~/src/cprog$ ./hello
+Hello, World!
+lab46:~/src/cprog$
+</cli>
+=====Reflection=====
+I guess the main reflection on this project is the fact that it was actually pretty easy to set up and I will for sure keep working on this to see what the capabilities are for this project
