---------------------------------------------------------------------
purpose:
serve amiga files to a pc (microsoft network tcp/ip)
----------------------------
samba:
samba is a package that runs on a UNIX machine and provides file sharing
to a pc running windows for workgroup /w Wolverine, Microsoft's TCP/IP-32
package (free for the download), or windows NT using tcp/ip, and probably
win 95.
I have included the samba doc's in the directory samba-unix.doc for your viewing pleasure.
----------------------------
amiga-samba:
I have ported this samba package to the amiga. this was a quick port
and I am sure some things won't work as expected. consider this a beta
test.
** this is compiled for an '030+ at this time. if you need it compiled for anything
else, let me know.
this was tested with NT.
---------------------------
some of the requirements:
amiga: AmiTcp 4.0 beta or commercial package
Ethernet card (a used A2065 can be had for ~$100)
pc: an ethernet card and netbios with tcp/ip
---------------------------------------------------------------------
To get started:
you should be able to ping in both directions of course.
- - -
i have included ixemul.library version 40.4. if you have a version in libs: < than this,
rename your version to ixemul.library.old and copy this version in the libs: directory.
make sure you other programs that use ixemul.library still work with the new library.
don't forget to reboot
- - -
you should already have an assign for 'amitcp:'
at this time the binaries are compiled with the following directory
structure hardcoded in...
amitcp:samba/bin
/lib
/var
and need to be un-archived at the 'amitcp:' point. or after un-archive, move the directory to
'samba' under the 'amitcp:' assign.
- - -
you will need to modify the file 'amitcp:samba/lib/smb.conf' to share the directories you want.
i have included an amiga example.
- - -
next, you need to find out what workgroup is running on the pc. I have compiled in 'WORKGROUP' as
the default, but if yours is something different, you need to start the nmbd binary with
-G{name of workgroup}. if you choose to start the binaries by method A below, you will need to
modify the text in the file startnmd accordingly.
example: nmbd -D -GLANGROUP
- - -
There are two different ways to start the binaries on the amiga.
A. 1. double click on the startnmb icon located in the 'amitcp:samba' directory
2. then... double click on the startsmb icon
note: There is no way to cleanly turn off the nmbd and smbd servers
with this startup method.
B. 1. open 2 CLI windows
2. set the stack in one window to 20000 and start the nmbd binary
with -D as the parameter
3. set the stack in the other window to 50000 and start the smbd binary
with -D as the parameter
ex. stack 20000
amitcp:samba/bin/nmbd -D
stack 50000
amitcp:samba/bin/smbd -D
note: you can safely use ^c to stop the binaries using this startup method
---------------------------------------------------------------------
warning:
use at your own risk. not responsible for damage and/or other liability.
---------------------------------------------------------------------
future versions:
like I said before this was a quick port to get it working. I intend to make it easier to
start and find out the real stack usage and so on.
amiga diffs to the samba source and a makefile will follow.
---------------------------------------------------------------------
known problems:
. don't use print features
. if not started up just right, you'll probably need to reboot the amiga
. the default stack of 4096 when running the binaries will make BIG crash.
(it also invalidated my drive! once because of it)
. don't know how the amiga upper/lower case insensitively will work as opposed to a UNIX box
. the free and total space on the file manager window are wrong
. the pc will give you invalid password when connecting a network drive, even if the pc and
the amiga password match. just type the amiga password in.
let me know of any problems, and if you can help with amiga specific programming:
