Control Panel Help :docprof toc=123456. .****************************************************** :h1.Introduction :p. Samba is a SMB/CIFS protocols file and print sharing server/client suite originaly made for the UNIX world to cooperate with corresponding Windows and &os. servers or clients. &os. has a native implementation of SMB/CIFS server/client set - IBM LAN Manager and IBM Peer. These products haven&csq.t been updated for a long time and have some compatibility problems with modern Windows SMB/CIFS implementations. :p. This package is the &os. port of Samba client made as the plugin for&colon. :ul. :li.&nd. - a well known virtual file system for &os. :li.EVFS - the eComStation Virtual Filesystem for SMB :eul.:p. &os. Samba client provides seamless access to SMB/CIFS file shares over your network using TCP/IP as the underlying transport protocol. :p. The &os. Samba client consists of one module&colon. :ul. :li.ndpsmb.dll - the <$ND> plugin itself :eul.:p. Releases prior to version 1.5.0 had a second module which is now deprecated&colon. :ul. :li.smbcd.exe - the Samba client daemon, which actually processes the requests from ndpsmb.dll :eul. .****************************************************** :h1.License :p.

The parameters of a SMB/CIFS FS resource are&colon. :parml. :pt.Workgroup :pd.The name of workgroup to connect to. :pt.Server :pd.The name or IP address of server to connect to. :pt.Share :pd.The name of server resource (share) to connect to. :pt.User :pd.The name of user to login under. :pt.Password :pd.The password of selected user. :pt.Master :pd.the name of 'master' server or workgroup, used to get the list of workgroups when the concrete workgroup and server not specified. :pt.Mastertype :pd.0 if 'master' is the name of master server, 1 if 'master' is the name of master workgroup. :pt.Cache timeout :pd.The time in seconds for which the cache is valid. If the time is over the client rereads the directory again. For a directory with many files it may be better to increase the timeout (rule of thumb: per 500-800 files 10 seconds). Default: 10 seconds :pt.Cache listings :pd.The amount of directories the cache should hold. Be aware: the higher the value the more memory is used. Default: 32 listings :pt.EA Support :pd.1 to support <$OS> Extended Attributes, 0 to not support it. :pt.r/w :pd.define whether the resource should be read-only (r) or writeable (w). :eparml. .****************************************************** :h2 res=101.&usage. :p. To mount the exact server&csq.s share one need to specify both &csq.server&csq. and &csq.share&csq. parameters, the other parameters are optional. The root path of server&csq.s share will be mounted to the mounting path. :p. If one want to access all server shares, then only the &csq.server&csq., not the &csq.share&csq. parameter, should be specified,the other parameters are optional. The list of server shares will be mounted to the mounting path. :p. If one want to access all servers within the workgroup, then only the &csq.workgroup&csq., not the &csq.server&csq. parameter, should be specified, the other parameters are optional. The list of servers within the specified workgroup will be mounted to the mounting path. :p. If one want to access all available workgroups within one master browser within the network, then only the &csq.master&csq., not the &csq.workgroup&csq. nor the &csq.server&csq. parameter, should be specified, the other parameters are optional. The list of workgroups will be mounted to the mounting path. The &csq.master&csq. workgroup can be any known workgroup in the net. The &csq.master&csq. server should be the master browser for workgroup[s]. :p. By default the &csq.guest&csq. user with blank password is used to access selected resources. If you get access denied errors, try to specify another user and password combination. .****************************************************** :h1.Version :p. &build. :h1.Debugging :p. To produce a logfile please add an empty file called ndpsmb.dbg into the root drive. :p. The logfile is placed to your LOGFILES env path, if available. If the LOGFILES env is missing the logfile is placed into the &nd. directory. The logfile is called log.ndpsmb for the &nd. part and log.smbd for the Samba part. .****************************************************** :h1.History :p.History of the Samba client for &nd. :ul. :li.:link reftype=hd res=011.Version 1.0:elink. :li.:link reftype=hd res=012.Version 1.5:elink. :li.:link reftype=hd res=013.Version 2.0:elink. :eul. #include .****************************************************** :h1.Credit :ul. :li.Paul Smedley (aka Smedles) :li.Yuri Dario (aka Paperino) :li.Herwig Bauernfeind (aka HerwigB) :li.Silvan Scherrer (aka diver) :li.Alex Taylor (aka AlexT) :li.Nikolay Kolosov (aka nickk) :li.Vitali Pelenyov (aka sunlover) :li.and all we missed :eul. .****************************************************** :euserdoc.
