[SAMBA Installation Tutorial] - This step by step tutorial explains the installation and configuration of a SAMBA server on Ubuntu server.

### To use this Role:

Edit the `site.yml` file, mentioned this role:

```yaml
---
- hosts: server
  become: yes
  gather_facts: yes
  roles:
    - samba
```
After that edit the `defaults/main.yml` file:

> Change the username(s) and their smbpassword, but these user(s) must exist on the target system.
> Also change the other values as per your requirement. These are self explanatory.

```yaml
---
ubuntu_samba_packages:
  - samba
  - samba-common
  - python-glade2
  - system-config-samba
workgroup: WORKGROUP
public_share_name: public
public_share_path: /samba/public

    smbpasswd: 'pass123'
  - name: 'hussain'
    smbpasswd: 'password' 
```

Then run this command:

**Note:** Please don't forget to change `arbab` with your username
