I have my Zaurus running Cacko 1.23 with my Mac Book connected to the same Wi-Fi network.
On my Mac Book in Shared I see Zaurus as a PC Server and I can browse and change the content of the SD card and HDD on it freely without any password. I knew about this hole before, just didnt know it is so easy to see it on Mac. Does anybody know how to close this hole? |

You'll need to study up on the samba documentation. I believe that you can password protect the shares.  Sorry to be vague but I have never needed to bother. This has appeared in the forums before.If you search the Security and Networking forum you might find some specific suggestions.

take a look at /etc/samba/smb.conf and you'll be able to tweak the settings there...
very very briefly: create a username/password in the smbpasswd file for the standard non-privileged user ("smbpasswd -a username"). you can restrict then the shares to that username. |

fixed it:
- installed smbpasswd - [smbpasswd_0.1-1_arm.ipk] from meanie's feed - Once you installed smbpasswd, you will need to do the following to get it working: # su # ln -s /usr/local/samba/lib/codepages /usr/lib/samba/codepages # rm /usr/local/samba/lib/smb.conf # ln -s /usr/local/samba/lib/smb.conf /usr/lib/samba/smb.conf # ln -s /usr/local/samba/private/smbpasswd /etc/smbpasswd - then create user zaurus with password of your choice sudo smbpasswd -a zaurus a - to connect now: smb://zaurus then user:zaurus and your password |
