public = yes                                                                                //是yes/否no公开共享,若为否则进行身份验证(只有当security = share 时此项才起

writable = yes                                                        //是yes/否no不以只读方式共享当与read only发生冲突时,无视read only

browseable = yes                                                   //是yes/否no在浏览资源中显示共享目录,若为否则必须指定共享路径才能存取

useradd testshareuser

smbpasswd –a testshareuser                                                     set the user password.

5. Access the share from windows os:

View the linux machine’s ipaddress with ifconfig [eth0]

Maybe need to close the firewall, command like:
