samba - Oct 2005 - Samba for Embedded System, Network-Storage and Print-Server

Hi,

I am new to the mailing list, if any thing is wrong please excuse me in
advance. 

We are running Linux-2.4.20 on the MIPS32 architecture. We have USB2.0 host
and various network interfaces on the board and we want to support "USB
Network-Storage" and "USB Print-Server". Until now I am able the
make
"USB-Storage" and "USB-Printer" working locally. 

Please let us know HOWTO make it network. I read that Samba can enable these
devices to be shared with other machines in the network. Is there any other
way to support this feature? In case of Samba, what is the memory footprint
required? Is there any tiny version of Samba for Embedded System? For your
information, we have 16MB RAM and 4MB FLASH.

Really appreciate any help and comment!

Regards,
Ranjeet

search google for "samba ipkg" there are builds of samba 2.x for
WRT54GS
like devices which seems identical to what you're using. There is a
samba 3.x build for the NSLU2 but IMO it has more RAM/FLASH...
