Surma is a software designed to manage Samba users. It simplifies the process of managing Samba users and delivers a user-friendly interface. With its easy-to-use interface, Surma simplifies the task of handling Samba user accounts, allowing you to monitor and manage user access with relative ease.
Surma is a software designed as a Samba user manager. This tiny CGI-script presents a web interface for users to change their Samba passwords stored in the smbpasswd file. Although specifically designed for ALT Linux distros, Surma can probably be used with any modern Linux distributions.
The installation process for ALT Linux is fairly straightforward. First, users need to install some dependencies, namely perl-CGI, perl-Crypt-SmbHash, lighttpd, and sudo through the command "apt-get install". Once installed, users can add lighttpd as a service by running the command "chkconfig lighttpd --add" and "chkconfig lighttpd on". To complete the installation, users must then extract the surma.tar.gz file, move the html folder to /var/www, move bin/* to /usr/local/bin, and finally set the permissions of the get_tmpsmbpw and put_tmpsmbpw files using "chmod 750" and "chown :lighttpd".
Surma requires Samba to be installed in order to function. Once installed, users can configure lighttpd by activating the mod_cgi module with the command "# subst '/"mod_cgi",$/ s/^#//' /etc/lighttpd/lighttpd.conf" and adding the following configuration settings to lighttpd.conf file:
index-file.names += ("surma.pl")
cgi.assign = ( ".pl" => "/usr/bin/perl")
Overall, Surma is a simple software that serves its purpose of being a Samba user manager. However, users must ensure they have Samba installed and follow the installation instructions carefully to ensure correct installation.
