You will need the subversion package (install with aptitude install subversion).

• Install subversion:

aptitude install subversion

• [Optional, for Samba3 Only!] Install PAM and Samba password sync:

aptitude install libpam-smbpass
cp /usr/share/doc/libpam-smbpass/examples/password-sync /etc/pam.d/

• [Optional] Install avahi in order to broadcast the shares to the network:

aptitude install avahi-daemon avahi-utils avahi-discover

and create the service file by issuing:

cat << EOF > /etc/avahi/services/samba.service
<?xml version="1.0" standalone='no'?>
<!DOCTYPE service-group SYSTEM "avahi-service.dtd">
<service-group>
 <name replace-wildcards="yes">%h</name>
 <service>
   <type>_smb._tcp</type>
   <port>445</port>
 </service>
 <service>
   <type>_device-info._tcp</type>
   <port>0</port>
   <txt-record>model=Macmini4,1</txt-record>
 </service>
</service-group>
EOF

and then restart the avahi service:

/etc/init.d/avahi-daemon restart

• Make a backup of your /etc/samba directory.
• Change directory to /etc/samba and, depending on your samba version, issue:

svn export http://svn.grimore.org/configuration-templates/samba/3/standalone --force .

to check out Samba3 files, or:

svn export http://svn.grimore.org/configuration-templates/samba/4/standalone --force .

to check out Samba4 files.

• Configure the files /etc/samba/smb.conf.local and add your shares to /etc/samba/smb.conf.share
• Finally, restart Samba:

/etc/init.d/samba restart
