Hello, people.
I have implemented some enhancements for Samba:
1. dynamic configuration-values
2. configurable attribute-mappings
3. configuration parameter to make a service mountable but offline
4. volume-labels longer than 8 chars have to be sent as 8.n
Here are the details:
1. dynamic configuration-values
-------------------------------
This enhancement allows the value of a configuration parameter to be
read from a file or a command.
This is done whenever the parameter is needed by Samba, not when smb.conf
is parsed.
Syntax:
parameter = < filename sets 'parameter' to the first line of
the contents of the specified file
parameter = <$ filename sets 'parameter' to the first line of
the contents of the specified file after
applying the normal variable substititions
to it
parameter = | command sets 'parameter' to the first line of
the output of the specified command
parameter = |$ command sets 'parameter' to the first line of
the contents of the specified command after
applying the normal variable substititions
to it
Example:
volume = |/usr/local/bin/cdlbl /dev/cd0
2. configurable attribute-mappings
----------------------------------
These parameters allow to change the UNIX-representation of the DOS
attributes. This can be handy when re-exporting non-unix-filesystems
that have another representation of the DOS attributes than the Samba-
default (CDROMs for example).
Syntax:
system mode = octal mode sets the UNIX-mode-mask to represent the DOS-
system-file attribute (Default: 0010)
archive mode = octal mode sets the UNIX-mode-mask to represent the DOS-
archived attribute (Default: 0100)
hidden mode = octal mode sets the UNIX-mode-mask to represent the DOS-
hidden attribute (Default: 0001)
Example:
hidden mode = 01000
archive mode = 02000
system mode = 04000
3. configuration parameter to make a service mountable but offline
------------------------------------------------------------------
Sometimes you want to allow your clients to mount a share but not
to do anything with it (example: ejected or empty CDROM: should
be mountable but not readable). One way would be to set 'path =' to
an empty directory but that doesn't really tell the truth to the
client. This new parameter replies with an error-message if the client
tries to do something else but mounting or unmounting the share.
Syntax:
online = boolean on (default): service can be used
off: every action except connect and
disconnect produces an error
Example:
online = | /usr/local/bin/cdmounted /dev/cd0
4. volume-labels longer than 8 chars have to be sent as 8.n
-----------------------------------------------------------
Tracing a problem related to a CDROM-label longer than 8 characters
I found that Windows sends such labels with a '.' after the 8th
character. With this patch Samba does that as well.
The problem was that a DOS program running in a DOS-Box did not
recognize a CDROM that was exported by Samba.
I hope that these patches are useful for anybody else but me :-)
