SSCC Simple Samba Configuration Center Version 1.0.2 ==================================================== Installation: ============= - Copy all files from this package into the Samba directory. - In case you already have drctl017.dll and/or REXXINI.DLL already on your system, they have to be in your LIBPATH - SSCC.EXE must reside in the same directory as testparm.exe from the Samba package, otherwise strange things may happen. - smbconf.opt must reside in the same directory as SSCC.EXE. This a simple text file holding all valid statements for shares in smb.conf. By extending this file, SSCC will also support all Samba options that will be added in the future. Currently this files is created automatically by extracting all valid statements from the smb.conf.5.html (part of the original Samba documentation) using a separate standalone REXX script. This functionality will be integrated in SSCC.EXE in future releases. You can use SSCC to perform the following tasks: - Add shares (both directories and printers) - Modify shares - Remove shares - edit keywords in smb.conf - migrate your IBM Peer/LANServer shares and printers to Samba - create a default smb.conf from scratch - add [homes] [netlogon] and [profiles] services - create printcap file and keep it up to date (unless it was created by CUPS) - import lmhosts from hosts file - setup Samba usermap - /install commandline switch in order to eventually replace an existing smb.conf - update Samba binaries using a ZIP package Current limitations: - your smb.conf will always be fed through testparm.exe resulting in the loss of all comments (and all errors in smb.conf, which is not that bad after all) NOTE: Versions prior to 1.0.2 trash the smb.conf of a Samba Server 3.3.x!
