Samba Server for OS/2 & eComStation

'''New - 28th April, 2007'''''''[[BR]]
URL for Samba Server 3.0.25rc3 is ftp://ftp.netlabs.org/pub/samba/samba-3.0.25rc3-os2-20070427.zip [[BR]]
URL for Samba Netdrive plugin based on 3.0.25rc3 code is ftp://ftp.netlabs.org/incoming/ndpsmb-3.0.25-b15.ZIP

The 3.0.24/25 builds do not currently rely on Security/2, instead they use libc's user/group functions to determine if a user is valid or not.

'''How to get going:'''

1) set unixroot=x: where x: is the drive that has a /etc/ path

2) Unzip ftp://ftp.netlabs.org/pub/gcc/alpha/baselayout.zip to the unixroot drive, then editing \etc\master.passwd and add the users that you need. You might want to add user pcguest.

Note the syntax of master.passwd - first field before the colon is username, second is password (leave this blank), third is usernumber which much be unique - others aren't important right now.

3) Remove the old pwd.db and spwd.db files from \etc then run pwd_mkdb
from \usr\sbin: pwd_mkdb \etc\master.passwd

4) Edit smb.conf which should be put into %ETC%\samba\* 

Note that the default config file smb.conf has provision for a guest account pcguest this user must be either added to master.passwd, the guest access commented out of smb.conf; or the user changed to a user that does exist in master.passwd

5) Note that Samba expects the users to be added using smbpasswd.exe, too.  To add a user called 'psmedley' run:

smbpasswd -a psmedley (enter password).

'''Currently tested clients:'''

- Windows 2000 running in Svista[[BR]]
- Windows XP Home[[BR]]
- Windows XP Pro (in VPC guest and natively)[[BR]]
- Mandrake Linux 2006[[BR]]
- eCS v1.2 with IBM LAN Client (EA's work correctly with builds >= 20070226)[[BR]]
- eCS v2 beta with Netdrive 3.04 and Samba Client v3.0.9 (EA's partially work with builds later than 20070226 build)[[BR]]

'''Known Issues'''
   1. EA's not working correctly with Netlabs Samba client v3.0.9 (Bug in Samba client not Samba server)

Thanks for testing!
