Had an issue where i could not access “secured”, the reason was that i had changed the name for the group from @secure_group to MYNAME, fixed in config, restartet SMB, and gained access (Y)

Do you guys didnot have a problem with selinux?
In my case, when i enabled selinux (/etc/selinux/config), Samba doesnot work properly.
So I had to disable it. Is this correct?

I followed the directions exactly. I was able to finally access the folders from a Windows os machine, an iMac, and a linux Ubuntu laptop. However, ALL could only access with IP address and Anonymous. (eg xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx/Anonymous) and non would hit using /centos-8. Although the CENTOS-8 shows up as a network group on Mac and linux, it’s just not reachable.

Thank you so much for this walk though on set up. It was exactly what I needed.

There were some typos in the command syntax (Samba should smb in the CLI), but it worked fine for me up to the time to access files in the Windows share from the CentOS system. When I entered smbclient //10.0.0.39/secured -U linuxuser, it asked me for a password, and I entered the password that I created for the user linuxuser both on the linux CLI and on the Windows 10 system, I received this error Tree connectfailed: NT_STATUS_BAD_NETWORK_NAME

# sudo chcon -t samba_share_t /srv/samba/shared
chcon: can’t apply partial context to unlabeled file ‘/srv/samba/shared’

use this instead:
# sudo chcon -R system_u:object_r:samba_share_t:s0 /srv/samba/shared
