= Samba for eComStation (OS/2) = [[PageOutline]] [http://www.samba.org/ Samba] is a free implementation of the CIFS/SMB protocol for Unix, which allows LAN-Server style file and printer sharing among machines running Windows, Mac OS, Unix or [http://www.ecomstation.com/ eComStation] (OS/2). The goal of this project is to port the Samba server and create Samba clients for eCS (OS/2) in order to replace the functionality of the outdated IBM-LAN-Requester/Peer/Server components.[[BR]] The eComStation (OS/2) server port is very fast and stable, and although still incomplete, very usable for daily work. It can be used to perform the following tasks:[[BR]] * share files among eCS (OS/2), Windows, Mac OS and Unix machines, including extended attribute support. * share printers among eCS (OS/2), Windows, Mac OS and Unix machines. == Official Releases == ||'''Release date'''||'''Type'''||'''Component'''||'''Version'''||'''Based upon'''||'''Package'''||'''Description'''|| ||08th May 2009||Print client||Port driver ||1.0||Samba 3.0.34||[ftp://ftp.netlabs.org/pub/samba/pdr/smb_pdr-1.0-20090509.zip ZIP]||Required to print to shared printers or CIFS/SMB based printer servers|| ||04th May 2008||Client part 1||EVFS||1.001||-||[http://www.ecomstation.com/ Link]||Remote file system, comes with [http://www.ecomstation.com/ eComStation]|| ||15th Dec. 2008||Client part 1||Netdrive||3.1.1||-||[http://www.blueprintsoftwareworks.com/netdrive/download.html Link] ||Remote file system, shareware by [http://www.blueprintsoftwareworks.com/ BluePrint Software Works]|| ||11th May 2009||Client part 2||Plugin for EVFS/Netdrive||1.0||Samba 3.0.34||[ftp://ftp.netlabs.org/pub/samba/client/ndpsmb-1.0-3.0.34-20090511.ZIP ZIP]||Required to access shared files, deprecated|| ||23th Oct. 2009||Client part 2||Plugin for EVFS/Netdrive||1.5beta4||Samba 3.0.37||[ftp://ftp.netlabs.org/pub/samba/client/ndpsmb-1.5beta4-3.0.37-20091023.zip ZIP]||Required to access shared files, comes with [http://www.ecomstation.com/ eComStation]|| ||01th Sept. 2009||Client part 3||Client GUI (EVFSGUI)||1.3.7||-||[http://www.ecomstation.com/ Link]||Setup and manage connections, comes with [http://www.ecomstation.com/ eComStation]|| ||'''24th Dec. 2009'''||Client part 3||Client GUI (EVFSGUI)||2.0||-||[ftp://ftp.netlabs.org/pub/samba/client/evfsgui-20-GA-20091224.zip ZIP]||Setup and manage connections|| ||23th Oct. 2009||Client part 4||Commandline utilities||1.0.3||Samba 3.0.37||[ftp://ftp.netlabs.org/pub/samba/client/smbclut-3.0.37-os2-20091023.zip ZIP]||Required by EVFSGUI Ver. 2.x|| ||'''24th Dec. 2009'''||Client parts 2+3+4||Installation package||2.0||Samba 3.0.37||[ftp://ftp.netlabs.org/pub/samba/client/evfsgui-20-GA-20091224.wpi WPI]||Required to access shared files, easy installation|| ||'''28th Dec. 2009'''||Server||Installation package||1.0.3||Samba 3.0.37||[ftp://ftp.netlabs.org/pub/samba/server/samba-1-0-3.wpi WPI]||Required to share files and printers, easy installation|| ||'''28th Dec. 2009'''||Server||Server core files||1.0.3||Samba 3.0.37||[ftp://ftp.netlabs.org/pub/samba/server/samba-1-0-3.zip ZIP]||Required to share files and printers, stable|| ||30th Oct. 2009||Server||Server core files||1.1beta4||Samba 3.3.9||[ftp://ftp.netlabs.org/pub/samba/server/samba-3.3.9beta4-os2-20091030.zip ZIP]||Required to share files and printers, experimental, see [wiki:"FAQ" Frequently Asked Questions]|| == Interim Releases == Herwig Bauernfeind provides interim releases of Samba server, clients GUI tools and scripts on his [http://members.aon.at/herwig.bauernfeind/samba/index.html Samba for eCS (OS/2)] page.[[BR]] == [wiki:"FAQ" FAQ] Frequently Asked Questions and Answers == Here is our ever growing collection of useful Samba for eCS (OS/2) [wiki:"FAQ" Frequently Asked Questions] and Answers. == More Information == * How to setup [wiki:"Cookbook" Samba] * Useful Samba [wiki:"Scripts and utilities" scripts and utilities] * Samba was tested with [wiki:"Currently tested clients:" these clients] * Currently known Samba [http://svn.netlabs.org/samba/report/1 issues (open Tickets)] * Samba Development [http://svn.netlabs.org/samba/roadmap Progress] * Samba [wiki:"links" links collection] * Samba 3.2/3.3/3.4 [wiki:"ScratchPad" scratchpad] == Reporting Bugs == Reporting bugs and requesting new features is done through the ticket system.
