**Securiting Samba**

====== Introduction ======

Sometimes is important to configure a firewall in the system and define the interface(s) that will listening Samba4.


====== Securiting Samba4 AD DC with iptables ======
----

Before you configure IPTABLES, you moust to know [[samba_ports_usage|Samba4 ports usages]].

IPTABLES example using INPUT DROP Policy, and FORWARD and OUTPUT ACCEPT Policy:
<code>
 iptables -A INPUT -s 10.12.0.0/16 -i eth1 -p tcp --dport 53 -m state --state NEW -j ACCEPT    # DNS
 iptables -A INPUT -s 10.12.0.0/16 -i eth1 -p udp --dport 53 -m state --state NEW -j ACCEPT    # DNS (UDP)
 iptables -A INPUT -s 10.12.0.0/16 -i eth1 -p tcp --dport 88 -m state --state NEW -j ACCEPT    # Kerberos

====== Listen interfaces for Samba4 ======
----

Sometimes you don't want Samba to listen on all interfaces of your host. If you limit Samba to listen only on the internal NIC(s), you don't need a firewall to prevent access from the outside.

Add the following to the [global] section of your smb.conf to bind Samba to eth0 and loopback:
<code>
 bind interfaces only = yes
 interfaces = lo eth1
</code>

The "interfaces" parameter allows various ways to restrict. See the manpage for more details. After the changes, restart Samba.
