Samba Server on 7020 with Gemini 3.1

[avatar69008]

Hi,
I looking about informations for configure, start and use samba on gemini 3.1 (for share the hdd on a lan)
It's seems that samba 3.0 is include but i'm not sure.
If files smb.conf and user.map are right like samba v2.0 where put them ?

after you intsall the samba for 7020 plugin you must go into /etc/rc2.d and correct the link S90samba to point to ../init.d/samba and not /etc/init.d/S90samba (which doesnt exist)
just go into /etc/rc2.d and give
rm S90samba
ln -sf ../init.d/samba S90samba
this is an error of the Samba plugin not Gemini

then, if there is no error in smb.conf samba should work

In my case IT DOESNT start on boot as it should (THIS is a Gemini error)
so i have to give /etc/init.d/samba start after every reboot

Hi,

Thanks for your reply.
After few tests and search that works.

For start samba , you right it doens't start at boot...so i have put a small user script for start it with remote control, more easy than a telnet command...
But i'll do the change that you indicate, it's better.

Do you know where i can get information about all configuration for smb.conf ?

[papoulis]

no i dont ... its common in all unix and linux systems

also i discovered that if i put the image on the internal flash and not on CF
with flashwizzard it works fine and autostarts after you correct the wrong link

I thought that with flashwizzard its as if you were runing the image from internal flash but apparently there are some issues

When trying to access dream from my pc, using samba, I got error "You do not have access to \\Dreambox ... may be you do not have enough rithgs .. host not found...

Samba is working, because if I change name of dream on "server string" parameter, it is reflected of the name that appears on the lan.

It seems that I must edit smb.conf. Can anyone put an working example of smb.conf . (The one that I have has comments in german and I can not completely understand it)

for debugging samba problems very useful are the files smb.log and nmb.log in
/tmp
