5600 + Nfs Or Samba, NFS or Samba server Options

[cstrand1]

Is there a package for a NFS or a Samba server for Opie (3.5.3)?

I have searched to no avail.

SMBMount:

Heres a good resource on both NFS and SMB:

The directions are straight forward and work well.
from the website:

Mounting Windows shares

It appears that the clever people at Lineo managed to build SMB support into their kernel, and the not so clever people at Sharp forgot to include an SMB client with the Zaurus. The good news is that you can download an SMB client from

http://www.killefiz.de/zaurus/showdetail.php?app=220

Then all you have to do is get it to work. Let's assume you have a server called "my_server", that it has an IP address of 192.168.254.226, it is sharing a directory called "Software", and you have a user account called "UserName". The first thing to do is edit your /etc/hosts file and add an entry like this:

192.168.254.226    my_server

Then you need to create a mountpoint ..

mkdir /mnt/my_server

and then you should be able to mount the server like so ..

smbmount //my_server/Software /mnt/my_server -o username=UserName

If all goes well you should be prompted for a password, enter that and hit return. If, OTOH, you see a message complaing about "libncurses.so.5", you will need to install the ncurses pacakge ..

and try the smbmount command again.

Samba's in the feed isn't it?

http://www.openzaurus.org/official/unstabl...0.10-r0_arm.ipk

NFS will also be somewhere (though I'm not sure what it'd be called).

Try 'ipkg update && ipkg list *nfs*'

Yes, samba is in the feed, I must have been blind at the time.

As to NFS, there is a kernel module and it is for the 2.6 kernel.

I am going to use Samba, as that way I can connect from both linux and windows.

Thank you for your help and direction.

Look in the machine feed for your 'poodle', if it's not in there, it's either compiled in or has been forgotten, in which case ask hrw to add it (upgrades thread).
