Samba and Gemini 3.30

[leotzian]

Hi everyone and Marry Christmas

I try Samba to make work on a 7020S with Gemini 3,30
It works only if I telnet to the box manual nmbd -D, and smbd -D
Is there a way these files automatically loaded during reboot every time?

Thanks

I dont know if this works:
under usr/etc/ create (or edit if exists) the "init" file
add the smbd and nmbd command save, make it executable chmod 777 and reboot.

Let me know if it works.

Just one more thing:

Take care, create the init under another directory, test it and only when it works move it under /usr/etc

Good luck

Hi Because I am new to all these, and because I dont want do make a mistake, in var/etc there is the file inetd.conf
Yoy talk about this file? to add the lines?

[stone_db]

No, just create a new one and give the name "init" all lowercase no extension. Then add 1st line #!/bin/sh
2nd line: /usr/bin/nmbd -D
3rd line: /usr/bin/smbd -D

then execute the following command: chmod 777 init
the try to execute it: init
if it works move it to /usr/etc

[leotzian]

My nmbd and smbd files are not in the var/bin but in var/sbin

so I made the file init like this

#!/bin/sh
/usr/sbin/nmbd -D
/usr/sbin/smbd -D

I tried doent work , I tried toput in the var/etc no luck

There is etc under usr in my Gemini
Only under var/etc or /etc

I dont have Gemini 3.3 installed, i have 3.2 but im sure this applies to 3.3 too (I do this in every version from 2 to 3+)
Go to /etc/rc2.d after you have installed samba you see something like:
...
S90samba -> /etc/init.d/S90samba
...
this is wrong there is no S90samba in /etc/init.d
the correct is samba
it should say:
S90samba -> ../init.d/samba

after that it will start as it was supposed to
