Title: How to edit smb.conf?
Post by: Ansel_Tk1 on April 14, 2004, 11:38:58 pm

Hi all - hope someone out there can help...

I\'m trying to the the /usr/lib/samba/smb.conf file with a text editor (QZed) in Cacko QT 1.21 and I can\'t figure out why the changes won\'t take effect. I assume it has to do with a read/write permission or something like that, but being an obvious linux doofus I have no idea how to change the file!

I\'m trying to get the Z to sync wirelessly to my Outlook in XP.

Any help would be appreciated!

Thanks

you might also want to check out this How-To on Wireless Syncing (http://www.zaurususergroup.com/modules.php?op=modload&name=phpWiki&file=index&pagename=Wireless%20Syncing).  The header says it\'s for the C7x0, but it will actually work the same with the 5x00.  This How-To also has some instructions on how to change the smb.conf (with a link to an already modified smb.conf file!).

Try using Advanced Text Editor, and setting it to run as root, this will let you edit conf files.

in Cacko ROMs 1.2x by default /usr/lib/samba/smb.conf  is a link to /usr/lib.rom/samba/smb.conf  file located in ROM. If you want to edit it, delete the link and copy actual smb.conf file from /usr/lib.rom/samba/.
