Praveen,

You can get Samba from the QNX 3rd party repository via the package installer. In QNX select Launch->Installer.

Enter download.qnx.com/contrib/repository621a

Scroll down to Samba and install it.

To configure Samba, it’s best you buy a book on it. Something like the OReilly book ‘Using Samba’. That explains everything you need to know. The relevant QNX directories are /usr/local/samba and /etc/samba.

check if a port in inetd.conf defined is already in use by samba

generally it should run if there are no errors, did u “ps -A | grep inetd”?

You can also do a ‘netstat -a’ to see what services are listening on what ports.

So I’d stop samba and inetd then run netstat -a. Then start each one individually and run netstat -a. Then determine if there are any conflicts

I run inetd and samba on their default setups and don’t have any issues with either one.
