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.
