Contributor: Jason Rumney <jasonr@pec.co.nz>. Date: 1995 Status: Needs Updating - Old! Subject: IBM OS/2 Support ============================================================================= Samba 1.9.15p8 for OS/2 : REQUIRES emx 0.9b. Please read the file README, which contains general information about the configuration and use of Samba. Notes specific to OS/2 port: ============================ Filenames have been shortened to 8.3 in case anyone is using FAT. Files affected are: smb.conf -> smb.cfg smbclient -> smbclnt.exe smbstatus -> smbstat.exe nmblookup -> nmblook.exe As I only use HPFS, I can't guarantee this will work on FAT systems, although I have tried to stick to 8.3 filenames. I have noticed some temporary files being created with long filenames by smbd when I tried printing (which does not work yet anyway). nmbd will not be able to create browse lists on FAT systems, as it uses temporary files with long file names. smb.cfg should be in the directory smbd is started from. The path to smb.cfg is a compile time option, so if you are compiling from source you can set this to an absolute path to remove this restriction. User home directories not supported. This doesn't make much sense on OS/2. I haven't actually disabled anything, so if you try setting this up, behaivour is undefined. Password support is incomplete (I have found a crypt() routine, but lack of passwd file support in the EMX libraries make support difficult without major changes). Printing does not appear to be working. OS/2's lpq gives output in a different format than the versions of lpq already supported by samba. This will be easy to accomodate, but there is not much point until I can get lpr working properly. Source is available from the Samba WWW site : http://samba.canberra.edu.au/pub/samba/ EMX 0.9b is available from hobbes.nmsu.edu, ftp.cdrom.com, ftp.leo.org and other OS/2 FTP sites. emxrt.zip contains the required libraries. Bugs: ===== Known problems: =============== Printing does not work. I have tried using REXX scripts with path info built in, and watched the processes startup properly but nothing comes out of the printer (remote via lpr in this case). If you can get it going, please let me know how you did it. The output from OS/2's lpq.exe is not understood by smbd, so all querys about the print queue say it is empty. Printing doesn't work anyway, so I have not attempted to fix this yet. Temporary files are created with long filenames (when printing, and updating browse list) Bug reports for the OS/2 port should be sent to Jason Rumney <jasonr@pec.co.nz>. Change log: =========== Changes from release 1 to release 2. nmblookup (nmblook.exe) is included, and works. An attempt at password support was made using the gnuufc crypt routines, but then I found that a lot of functions in the EMX libraries to do with passwd files don't actually do anything. Browse lists should now work if you use HPFS and set your lock directory to an absolute pathname.
