Hi
I have Windows XP machine cross cabled with QNX 6.2.0
Now i want to browse my files in QNX machine through windows machine.
I know there are some utilities like wsFTP helps to transfer the files from QNX to windows, but i want some thing like SAMBA that would browse thro the QNX directories from windows machine.
I tried SAMBA but i could not make it, if any one have the procedure to make this SAMBA to work in QNX would also be equally helpfull.
Thanks in Advance
JK
Samba works fine for me and many others. What version of SAMBA are you using, what does your config file looks like.
Make sure all the username/passwords are the same on every machine involved, then use smbpasswd to create a user account for samba and use this config file (modify the shared specification for your own use)

Thanks for the immediate response

I just tell the procedure what i have done:
smbd is not getting spawned i could not see any QNX directories in my windows machine.
note: fs-cifs worked for me and i could able to browse the windows directory from QNX, but unfortunately i want the other way round.
Thanks again
JK
Depending how you compile it ( 2.07 is rather old, install 2.2.7 from the third party CD/Repository)
If it’s not getting spawn check in /var/log/smb.log or /usr/local/samba/var/smb.log why it refuses to start.
Thanks. With Samba2.2.7 i can able to spawn smbd, but still i could not access the QNX directory from windows, following are the events from log.smbd

I have one basic doubt, Whether SAMBA will work for cross over cable???
since i have one windows pc connected with QNX machine thro cross cable…
JK,
The crossover cable doesn’t matter to Samba. That’s assuming of course that you can ping back and forth between the QNX and Windows machine. If you can do that, then you have connectivity and Samba will work.
The error messages look like you are starting Samba before your network is up and running. You might want to make sure the network interfaces are available before starting Samba.
Tim
I don’t think a crossover will work at 100Mbit, but it should at 10.
"WARNING: no network interfaces found " is kind of self explanatory don’t you think?
I have windows pc connected to a QNX machine thro cross cable, and i can ping the windows pc from the QNX and vice versa, and i can able to run the telnet and ftp services also
Only after that i spawned smbd
So can i assume all m network services are up and running at this point of time…?
I have a doubt, should run a nmbd too???
Because i tried to spawn but it did’nt
following were the error logs obtained

Oh I just realized you are running 6.2.0. Maybe it’s related . It’s very old.
JK,
You don’t need nmbd to just browse directories and copy/paste files since nmbd provides Windows Name Server functionality.
It’s still strange that nmbd is failing and smbd is not. By chance are you trying to run them as non-root? They are typically started as ‘smbd -D’ and ‘nmbd -D’ by root (in the rc.sysinit or rc.local file after the network starts).
With smbd running (I assume you have verified it is via pidin), are you able to browse the QNX box? If not, check the samba log files in /var/log/samba (you may need to create this directory for Samba to store it’s log files if you have not done so) as smbd will log info on connection attempts/failures.
Tim
Tim, the error messages the OP posted are from the log file to that part he got setup ok
Mario,
Ah, OK. It’s been forever since I looked at the log files since I’ve had Samba successfully running for a long time now.
Looking in my ‘Using Samba’ book in the troubleshooting section they recommend to run the daemons from the command line with a very high level of debug turned on to see where they fail.
smbd -d 10 -i
nmbd -d 10 -i
I’m also curious about JK’s config file and why he specifically specifies the interface and IP address. You didn’t in your sample file and I don’t in mine either. I wonder if that’s causing the problem esp if en0 doesn’t have an ip address of 192.168.1.1.
Tim
Just realize you specify the interface as eth0, under QNX6 it’s en0. Anyway as Tim mention don’t specify the interface and the bind interface option as well.
It Worked…
Thanks Tim and Mario
I removed the lines from smb.conf that you guys mentioned
re-installed QNX and it worked
Now i am able to browse my QNX directories with my windows pc.
But still nmbd is not getting spawned… but thats ok as far as SAMBA works
Thanks once again
