similar to: Passwording a simple anonymous share

I'm working on a couple of Yocto Project based embedded projects, one using a Gumstix Overo board and the other using an Intel Atom motherboard. Both need a simple Samba server, which isn't included in the standard build. The only existing Yocto-compatible recipe for Samba is an OpenEmbedded one for version 3.6.8. I was quite surprised to find that adding Samba almost tripled the size of

For a long time, I've had a share set up on my Samba server (Ubuntu 14.04) that gives me read/write access to /. (It's a machine that does Yocto Linux builds, nothing proprietary on it.) I routinely accessed it from a couple of Win7 boxes and one Mac. A few days ago, I installed some Ubuntu updates, and suddenly the share stopped working. I could open the machine, and I could open the

I've got an embedded x86 system built with Yocto, which boots from a USB flash drive. It uses a loop mount to give access to an ext3 root file system contained within a FAT16 file, which means it has persistent storage. What I want is something that boots from the flash drive, but copies everything into a large RAM disk, and runs from there, so that it doesn't touch the flash drive once

I'm having trouble changing the machine name programmatically on Samba 4 (running under systemd). There's no "netbios name" option in smb.conf, so I'm relying on it using the hostname. Here's what I'm doing: 1) Call sethostname() with the new name. 2) Write the same name into /etc/hostname, to make it nonvolatile. 3) Read a decimal number from /var/run/smbd.pid.

I'm using the Yocto Project to build an embedded distro, to which I'm adding Samba 3.6 from OpenEmbedded. Doing so increases my root file system from about 63MB to 175MB. I seem to be building a large Samba server with a small ancillary operating system tacked onto it. I listed the files in my file system image, and see that lots of the commands are quite large. I understand that Samba 4

This is an embedded system without a lot of high-level utilities like you get on Ubuntu. -- Ciao, Paul D. DeRocco Paul mailto:pderocco at ix.netcom.com

I know how to do it through systemctl, but I was

I have a Windows home network with a bunch of Windows boxes and two Ubuntu boxes. Everything can access shares on everything else, with one exception: no one can get to the one share on the second Ubuntu box which I just added to the system. All my machines have one user account (admin privileges in Windows) with the name "pauld" and the same password. In an effort to solve this problem

Systemd service files are generally coming with packages. This means these files can be overwritten by some system update if this updates also your Samba packages (note: I never had nor tested that behaviour with Samba packages, but it happens for other packages). 2016-02-23 8:39 GMT+01:00 L.P.H. van Belle <belle at bazuin.nl>: > Uh... just add : > > netbios name = PC_NAME >

I've read what I can find about SMB passwords, but I don't get what they are. Are they Unix passwords or an alternative to them? If I have a file share, and the underlying file system requires some sort of credentials to access it, what is the relationship between that and an SMB password? If a client tries to access the share, using a user account that is listed in the smbpasswd file,

The docs say that sending SIGHUP to smbd triggers an immediate reread of the configuration. There's generally more than one instance of smbd running, though. Can I send the signal to any one, or is there one in particular that handles it, or must I send it to all of them? More to the point, my embedded system stores a single process ID in /var/run/smbd.pid; will signalling that reliable

I've added Samba 3.6.8 to my Gumstix build, and I'd like to include a single Samba user and password as part of the initial image. Can I do that by manually adding the user to the TDB database, and then copying the resulting file into my build machine and including it in the build? If so, where is that file normally? (The few locations I've found mentions of via Google didn't have

Is it possible to find a repository that hold a newer version of tar. The current version is 1.26 I have some students trying to build Yocto project on my Centos 7 host, but OpenEmbedded reports incompatibility problems with the current version of tar. I thank you on beforehand for any help. |< -- Med venlig hilsen Klaus Kolle Teknikumingeni?r, B.Sc.EE., e-mail : klaus at kolle.dk

David, Sorry its more to give you guys a heads up in case they ask about it being of interest and know that its something of interest outside that

hi, i have installded samba 4 oncentos 7 and started to use as part of active directory. But i have a problemabout sharing files between samba and windows 7. i can browse and edit sharedfiles and folders on windows 7. But when i create a new folder, the owner of the folder is seen as ?#User300012?instead of the real samba user. My sharing steps 1-?????i have add a user named ?ege? on centos

Greetings All, I've already mentioned this on the GCC side but it seems that the Yocto Project has a class for testing upstream projects. The project is used for building embedded distributions but due to the ability with bitbake and the amount of supported upstream projects I've asked them to mention that other projects are interested in seeing this happen at the usual Embedded

Hi! I'm using a Toradex apalis imx6 board to make a project for my bussiness and I need Icecast running on it, but I can't compile it in the board. It shows an error in "xslt" while compiling- I'm using Yocto. Do yow have any idea how can I compile Icecast source code in my Toradex apalis board without using this xslt? Thanks in advance!
