Set Up Samba Server on CentOS 8/RHEL 8 for File Sharing

How to Install Samba on Linux/Windows

Before we get started with the installation, let’s find out what Samba is and how we can utilize it. Samba is a free and open-source software that allows files to be shared across Windows and Linux systems simply and easily. To be exact, it is an open-source implementation of the SMB/CIFS protocol.

The (SMB) Server Message Block Protocol is a client-server communication protocol that is used for sharing access to files, printers, serial ports, and other resources on a network. The (CIFS) Common Internet File System Protocol is a dialect of the SMB protocol. A collection of message bundles that describes a distinct variant of a protocol is called a dialect.

Briefly, when using Samba, we can share files and printing services, use authentication and authorization, name resolution, and service announcements between Linux/Unix servers and Windows clients.

Set Up CUPS Print Server on CentOS 8/RHEL 8

This tutorial will be showing you how to share a printer attached to a CentOS 8/RHEL 8 computer with Windows, macOS, and iOS clients on the same network.

Your Linux desktop environment may have a dedicated printer configuration utility, but they all use CUPS under the hood. CUPS printer can be shared on the network using several protocols, including:

#centos #redhat #airprint #bonjour #centos server #cups printer #linux #red hat #red hat server #samba

Set Up SPF and DKIM with Postfix on CentOS 8/RHEL 8 Mail Server

SPF and DKIM are two types of TXT records in DNS that can help with preventing email spoofing and making legitimate emails delivered into the recipient’s inbox instead of spam folder. If your domain is abused by email spoofing, then your emails are likely to landed in recipient’s spam folder if the recipient didn’t add you in address book.

SPF (Sender Policy Framework) record specifies which hosts or IP addresses are allowed to send emails on behalf of a domain. You should allow only your own email server or your ISP’s server to send emails for your domain.

DKIM (DomainKeys Identified Mail) uses a private key to add a signature to emails sent from your domain. Receiving SMTP servers verify the signature by using the corresponding public key, which is published in your domain’s DNS records.

#centos #redhat #centos server #dkim #linux #red hat #red hat server #spf
