He.
I am trying to replace a product called MSA ( mac services for vms).
Someone has suggested samba, so I've grabbed a copy of 1.9
I am trying to configure it so I can test it out.
I am running it on a Digital Alpha running OVms 7.1 and tcp/ip service 4.2
eco2
How do I make a share that I can access from a mac/w95/winnt ?
I am not too familar with unix (well not at all) and most of the basic
questions
are answered in unix.
Here is a copy of the conf file I have started with. At the moment, All I
really want to be
able to to is provide an easy way of mac people being able to connect to
different
areas of our vms box, to retrieve data in a timely fashion. I am
not too worried about printers at this stage.
cheers Antony
; Configuration file for smbd.
; Template for VMS
;
===========================================================================; For
the format of this file and comprehensive descriptions of all the
; configuration option, please refer to the man page for smb.conf(5).
;
; The following configuration should suit most systems for basic usage and
; initial testing. It gives all clients access to their home directories and
; allows access to all printers specified in /etc/printcap.
;
; Things you need to check:
; --------------------------
;
; 1: Check the path to your printcap file. If you are using a system that
does
; not use printcap (eg., Solaris), create a file containing lines of the
; form
;
; printername|printername|printername|
;
; where each "printername" is the name of a printer you want to
provide
; access to. Then alter the "printcap =" entry to point to the new
file.
;
; If using Solaris, the following command will generate a suitable
printcap
; file:
;
; lpc status | grep ":" | sed s/:/\|/ > myprintcap
;
; 2: Make sure the "print command" entry is correct for your system.
This
; command should submit a file (represented by %s) to a printer
; (represented by %p) for printing and should REMOVE the file after
; printing.
;
; One most systems the default will be OK, as long as you get "printing
="
; right.
;
; It is also a good idea to use an absolute path in the print command
; as there is no guarantee the search path will be set correctly.
;
; 3: Make sure the "printing =" option is set correctly for your
system.
; Possible values are "sysv", "bsd" or "aix".
;
; 4: Make sure the "lpq command" entry is correct for your system. The
default
; may not work for you.
;
; 5: Make sure that the user specified in "guest account" exists.
Typically
; this will be a user that cannot log in and has minimal privileges.
; Often the "nobody" account doesn't work (very system
dependant).
;
; 6: You should consider the "security =" option. See a full
description
; in the main documentation and the smb.conf(5) manual page
;
; 7: Look at the "hosts allow" option, unless you want everyone on the
internet
; to be able to access your files.
;
