Samba is a free software re-implementation of SMB/CIFS networking protocol, released under the GNU General Public License.

Samba and iptables
If you have a firewall and wish to open it up to Samba on a specific machine (i.e. a single IP address), try the following iptables:
-A FORWARD -s xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx/24 -d xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx -p tcp -m tcp --dport 137 -j ACCEPT -A FORWARD -s xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx/24 -d xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx -p udp -m udp --dport 137 -j ACCEPT -A FORWARD -s xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx/24 -d xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx -p tcp -m tcp --dport 138 -j ACCEPT -A FORWARD -s xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx/24 -d xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx -p udp -m udp --dport 138 -j ACCEPT -A FORWARD -s xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx/24 -d xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx -p tcp -m tcp --dport 139 -j ACCEPT -A FORWARD -s xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx/24 -d xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx -p udp -m udp --dport 139 -j ACCEPT -A FORWARD -s xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx/24 -d xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx -p tcp -m tcp --dport 445 -j ACCEPT -A FORWARD -s xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx/24 -d xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx -p udp -m udp --dport 445 -j ACCEPT
As root,
mount -t cifs //xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx/path /mnt/samba -o username=username
If you would like to automount your Samba shares, you can place the line below in your /etc/fstab:
//xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx/path /mnt/samba cifs username=username,password=password 0 0
where cifs might need to be smbfs, depending on your filesystem setup.
However, if you do not want your username and password in a text file that anyone can read, you can create a file in, for an example, /etc/samba/smbpasswd with the following two lines:
username=username password=password
Then,
chmod 600 /etc/samba/smbpasswd
Now, edit your /etc/fstab and replace the line with:
//xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx/path /mnt/samba cifs credentials=/etc/samba/smbpasswd 0 0
