[Andre Campos Rodovalho]

Another good page to study is this one:
https://debian-handbook.info/browse/en-US/stable/sect.windows-file-server-with-samba.html

Pay attention to the Authentication configuration parts...

>> Hey guys, I reinstalled my Lubuntu 14.04.  Everything's working except

>> I installed cifs-utils thru Synaptic.  I got these two folders:

>> /etc/samba
>> /usr/share/samba
>>
>> Both folders contain the file smb.conf
>>
>> Is this normal? If I'm going to edit smb.conf, do I edit both of them?
>> Because that's what I did.

>>
>> [temp]
>> comment = temp
>> path = /home/user/Desktop/temp
>> browseable = yes
>> guest ok = yes
>> writeable = yes
>> create mask = 0755
>>
>> I used to be able to see the contents of "temp" in my Android phone,
>> provided both my Lubuntu computer and my Android phone are connected to the
>> same wifi network.
>>
>> Now I can't anymore.  I also don't remember having to edit two smb.conf
>> files.  It was just one.
>>
>> Your help is highly appreciated. Thank you.
