In this artical i am going to install Samba server firstly than with help of samba server i will mount the window share on linux machine further with a windows shared repositry we will configure Yum server . So here we goes..
Step I. First of all extract all Linux package on a windows machine on a folder now share that folder. ( In my case the name of windows machine in "myfileserver'' with IP Address "192.168.5.101", and the linux packhages are in " E:\Softwares\malanchreposerver " now I have shared "E:\Softwares "as "satishkrmalanch$" and to access this share only to a user " satish " and password for the user "Geni0$neverbornYbirth"
Step II : Now install samba server and configure it.
now on linux machine
type following command
mount //192.168.5.101/satishkrmalanch$ /winshare
with this command share will be mounted on /winshare
now creat a repo file in my case "malanch.repo" and give it path in it as mentioned below:
You can also permantely mount your windows share on linux by making a credential file containing user name and password for windows share and then by adding a single line in /etc/fstab file:
# vim /etc/hosts
192.168.5.101 myfileserver
Now creat a password credential file:
#vi /etc/cifspw
username=satish
password=Geni0$neverbornYbirth
Secure this file now:
#Chmod 600 /etc/cifspw
Now enter following into your fstab file to make mount permanent:
//myfileserver/satishkrmalanch$ /winshare cifs exec,credentials=/etc/cifspw 0 0 Now make samba service active on startup by this command:
#chkconfig smb on
and now you are done. Make your firewall open for smb ,smb client demon on.
and enjoy to install software with yum command now.
