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'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 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

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.

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 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'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

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

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,

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 >

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

I'm interested in using smbclient in an embedded Linux system, to copy files to a Windows file share. I don't need the entire samba suite. I'd like to get a smbclient compile that is reasonably small (less than 3 MB ideally). I'm building the embedded Linux system cross-compiled for an ARM based platform using Yocto. Yocto has support for building samba. But it is aimed at the

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

Dear all, I am currently trying to cross compile R3.5.2 using X86 host and trying to cross compile for ARM target (raspberry pi 3 running on linux system generated by buildroot). The problem I am encountering is that the compilation fails because the current R buildsystem I trying to execute the R binary generated for Arm arch on the host X86 computer. My question is: Is there an R

Hi Johannes, Thank you for your quick feddback. As I am using linux os build with buildroot on my raspberry pi I can't use package manager such as apt-get to install R. What I need to do is to get the precompiled R for arm arch and then when I build my linux image using buildroot I include the R precompiled package to my rootfs. Could you please send me a link where I can download
