Samba
Samba lists every host in your fleet that runs smbd (or has an /etc/samba/smb.conf) together with the shares it publishes and a short security review of each share.
What you see
Section titled “What you see”At /samba the header sums up how many servers have Samba running and how many shares in total. Below it, four KPI tiles:
- Servers — hosts with an active Samba daemon.
- Shares — total SMB shares detected.
- Warnings — shares with configuration issues that deserve a look.
- Critical — shares with risky settings (e.g. writable, world-readable, or guest-accessible in a bad way).
The main list is one row per server with:
- Hostname and IP.
- Total number of shares on that host.
- Badges: N crit, N warn, or Clean if no issues were found.
Opening a server takes you to its share detail.
Server detail
Section titled “Server detail”For a single host, you see every share the agent found with:
- Share name and path.
- Access mode (read-only / read-write, guest ok, browsable).
- Risk level — ok / warn / crit with a short explanation of why.
- Users and groups the share is exposed to.
If no shares register as risky the whole server is marked Clean.
What you can do
Section titled “What you can do”Today this page is read-only. HostAtlas surfaces the current state and the risk grading; changing a share still means editing smb.conf on the host (through your usual workflow — the SSH Client works well for this).
How it works
Section titled “How it works”- The agent detects Samba automatically. When
smbdis running or a Samba config file is present, the host shows up here on the next discovery pass. - Share definitions are parsed from
smb.confand any included files. - Risk grading is a small ruleset — writable guest shares, shares open to everyone, and other well-known misconfigurations trip a warn or crit badge.
