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.

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 >

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 an embedded box (Yocto Project based linux distro) to which I'm adding Samba 3.6 (from OpenEmbedded). All I need it for is to provide one browsable file share that allows read/write access to anyone on the network. But I want it to be password protected. My best guess as to what goes into smb.conf is: [global] workgroup=WORKGROUP netbios name=MACHINE security=share

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'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

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

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'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,

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

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

Hi Michael, I'll try, but just from looking at the code inside im_playlist.c it doesn't appear to check the pl->nexttrack variable inside the 'while(1)' loop unless it reaches the eof on the playlist file. Honestly I don't understand the ogg function calls, but just wondering if code has to be added to check this. Brant At Tuesday 06:24 PM 3/19/2002, Michael

Just started building the new network with automatic updates and noticed a very weird thing: when master tincd was reloaded (which sends updates), it stopped sending updates. Debugging session revealed that lookup_config(config_tree, NAME) returned NULL when NAME was any configuration item from our host file _after_ SIGHUP. Before it, it returned valid value. I see config_tree is appended with

OK let’s start out with this. I’m not a pro GUI designer… ? Now that that’s done. Welcome to OpenConf. At least that what we call it now. To config an * file click on the filename to the left. For my example use extension.conf. Now you’ll have a FULL text editor and a parsed list of all the [sections] in the extensions.conf file on your left. On the right you will find any numbered var’s

Hi all, I'm currently trying to set up ices2 with icecast2 along with otto, a jukebox interface written in perl. Otto allows the user to kill a song via the web interface, which in turn kills all running instances of ices, rewrites the playlist and launches ices. This has the bad side effect of terminating the client's connection to icecast and leaving a bunch of ices

Hi Is it possible to send SIGHUP to the parant process to let samba reread the smb.conf file, or is any way to let samba reread this file without restarting samba regards Alaa

It pulled the call to send_file_list(-1,...), which is what handled the one_file_system code. It's not like we can easily go back either, since flist.c 1.267 removed support for f=-1. Bummer. --
