Network shares?

[Foxdie]

Okay this is probably a question thats incredibly easy to solve yet I still don\'t know the answer, how does one enable network shares like in the Qtopia ROM? I\'m quite sick of FTP\'ing into my Zaurus every time I want to place / copy files to / from my C760

I used to love just being able to open FoxZ (my Zaurus\'s Hostname) in an IE window (*SHOCK!* I\'m a WinXP user!) but not since flashing the X11 ROM  :?

I think a samba package buit for original rom will do the job... try it...

I\'m sure Fox has this figured out by now, but for anybody else who needs samba installed on the x11 rom...

first install this:

and then this:

Hello,

I have tried Corey\'s suggestions but I cannot get Samba on my pdaxrom to work. I installed the two ipkgs you listed but I can\'t find the smbd file to start samba. Do you have samba working and can you give me a hint?

Regards,

Fabian

Fabian - to start samba you need to find the samba startup script.  On OZ 3.2 it\'s \"/etc/init.d/samba\".  You could issue \"/etc/init.d/samba start\" and that would probably do it.  Also - after you install samba it probably will be put into your regular startup scripts - in which case rebooting should do the trick.

ps.  I had many problems getting samba running on my system - it turned out that certain directories samba expected to find weren\'t there.  In my case creating \"/var/run/samba\" and \"/var/cache/samba\" directories, then restarting samba, did the trick.  This may not be a problem for you, but if you start samba and don\'t see \"smbd\" and \"nmbd\" processes running, that might be it.  Oh - and make sure you\'ve specified a valid share path in \"/etc/sysconfig/samba.conf\" (path may be a little different, depending on distribution).
