Title: Samba Server On 3.5.2?
Post by: dino on December 07, 2004, 10:22:50 pm

I installed the 7MB Samba package from the 3.5.2. feed.  Is this all I need to set up a Samba server?  Any advice on how to get it working?
Thanks

OK, I have it working now.
First I edited the file /usr/lib/smb.conf and added:

Quote

[global]
    workgroup = METRAN
[test]
    comment = For testing only, please
    path = /usr/local/samba/tmp
    read only = no
    guest ok = yes

I then created the directory /usr/local/samba/tmp and put a file in it for testing.
I then ran

Quote

smbpasswd -a root

and used my root login password.
To start samba run:
nmbd
smbd

Now I can play ogg files stored on the Zaurus from my Win2K machine at work.

So you send your music from your home machine to the work place?


I though Samba is just only for sending and transfer file between machines..

I mount the Z as a shared drive which contains ogg files.  It sits in the USB cradle plugged into the Win2k box.  The connection between the Z and Win2k box is a local network, but it could work over the internet.

I assume the samba package also gives the z the ability to mount samba shares on other pcs.

I dont need use SAMBA, on my OZ 3.5.2... I using fish protocol... its is like samba but over a ssh conection...

On Zaurus
- Open a shell
- Create a login (SSHd close conections from root, dont change this! :-P )
  adduser zaurus
- put a password to this user.

On PC
- Open Konqueror
- put a URL like:
     fish://192.168.129.201/
- type u login and pass, for zaurus....

Aereinha, did you consider using scp? I'm doing it, and it's hassle free, fast enough and, well, gets the job done. Using Samba just to copy some files seem a bit... you know

Cheers

Aereinha, did you follow my directions above?
Try running the following two commands, each in a different shell:

Quote

nmbd -i
smbd -i

This runs the daemons in the interactive mode where they may provide some feed back on problems.  Also run the command:

Quote

ps

and see if smbd and nmbd are indeed running.
I like samba because I can mount a drive using a script with the password.  Scp used to work without a password using keys.  Unfortunetly dropbear appears to have a problem with scp and keys.

Is there any other Samba server available for OZ?  I don't have the room for 7MB, but my understanding is that that is how Intellisync accesses the DTM databases.

(BTW, I'm asking because I am trying to get the Sharp PIM's installed on OZ.  I know, DTM is crap, but I need sync'ing of e-mail including attachments and text notes to a WinXP box for work. . .)

I'll add my 2 cents of what I had to do as an almost shell script...

Code: [Select]

echo [global]>/usr/lib/smb.conf
echo    workgroup = WORKGROUP>>/usr/lib/smb.conf
echo [test]>>/usr/lib/smb.conf
echo     comment = For testing only, please>>/usr/lib/smb.conf
echo     path = /media/card>>/usr/lib/smb.conf
echo     read only = no>>/usr/lib/smb.conf
echo     guest ok = yes>>/usr/lib/smb.conf

Code: [Select]

mkdir -p /usr/private/
nmbd
smbd
smbpasswd -a USER

From Windows (replace 192.168.0.102 w/ your Z's IP):
\\192.168.0.102\test
USER
<enter password>
