Samba File and Print Server¶

http://us1.samba.org/samba/docs/using_samba/toc.html http://www.freebsd.org/doc/en_US.ISO8859-1/books/handbook/network-samba.html http://www.samba.org/samba/docs/man/Samba-HOWTO-Collection/

Example:

[global]
    workgroup = PIRC
    server string = NAGIOS SMB Server
    security = share
    log file = /var/log/samba/log.%m
    max log size = 50
    dns proxy = no
    guest account = guest
    unix extensions = off

[install]
    comment  = Unattended
    writable = yes
    locking  = no
    path     = /usr/local/PIRC/w32install/install
    guest ok = yes

Troubleshooting¶

The above file has

guest account = guest

But that account (guest) did not exist on my Box so I got

tail /var/log/samba/log.smbd

[2008/01/13 22:56:38, 0] smbd/server.c:main(1059): ERROR: failed to setup guest info.

Interestingly I want to view the source itself so /usr/ports/distfiles holds all the tarballs, expand and have a look

SWAT¶

uncomment inetd.conf line to run swat

#!/bin/sh

#smbclient -U paul.brian -L \ADC
