samba

I have not look at samba much since I first attempted to set up my home sever circa 2011 on Fedora before I moved to Ubuntu. I stopped using Fedora as I had noob pain with Selinux, coupled with the short service life of Fedora, so I moved to Ubuntu, where I had a lot more success.
Samba seems to pretty much just work. I was lazy and tended to just use Webmin to set this up. However as I did not use Webmin for much else I have elected to to set it up now that I moved my server to Debian. So now I need to learn about Samba again
Samba is pretty much mandatory, as a lot of services smb use it as default.
My main form of security it to limit external access to my lan, hence samba security is low. More focused on easy use.
