Hello all
I have a question about getting Samba to share files between my QNX6.1 box
and my win2k machinces. The problem is that I can not get Samba to
authenticate my user names and passwords. I’ve enabled encrypted password
and used smbpassword to reenter the users names and passwords, which are the
same for both the win2k and QNX computers. I’ve only half tried at getting
winbindd working but I havent been able to find many docs on it.
if anyone could help me out or point me to someplace with instructions for
QNX6.1 and not linux/unix I’d be very grateful
Tar the package into /tmp
Install the package following directions (usually just ‘make install’ as
root)
Edit your /usr/local/samba/lib/smb.conf file to add the proper shares
(follow examples in the file)
I usually just use the homes one and have the same name on Windows as on
QNX.
Make sure your /etc/hosts has the host names in it (this is the one that
always gets me)
Add smbd and nmbd to your /etc/rc.d/rc.sysinit script. I add it to the if
that starts inetd.
I also add the following line to the above script: rm
/usr/local/samba/var/locks/*.pid >/dev/null 2>&1
This removes the locks that are quite often left behind after a system
crash
smbpasswd -a username
HTH,
Jim
