I have noticed some -temporary files being created with long filenames by smbd when I tried -printing (which does not work yet anyway). nmbd will not be able to -create browse lists on FAT systems, as it uses temporary files with -long file names. - -smb.cfg should be in the directory smbd is started from. The path to -smb.cfg is a compile time option, so if you are compiling from source -you can set this to an absolute path to remove this restriction. - -User home directories not supported. This doesn't make much sense on -OS/2. I haven't actually disabled anything, so if you try setting -this up, behaivour is undefined. - -Password support is incomplete (I have found a crypt() routine, but -lack of passwd file support in the EMX libraries make support difficult -without major changes). - -Printing does not appear to be working. OS/2's lpq gives output in a -different format than the versions of lpq already supported by samba. -This will be easy to accomodate, but there is not much point until I can -get lpr working properly. - - - -Source is available from the Samba WWW site : - -http://samba.canberra.edu.au/pub/samba/ - -EMX 0.9b is available from hobbes.nmsu.edu, ftp.cdrom.com, ftp.leo.org and -other OS/2 FTP sites. emxrt.zip contains the required libraries. - -Bugs: -===== - -Known problems: -=============== - -Printing does not work. I have tried using REXX scripts with path info -built in, and watched the processes startup properly but nothing comes -out of the printer (remote via lpr in this case). -If you can get it going, please let me know how you did it. - -The output from OS/2's lpq.exe is not understood by smbd, so all querys -about the print queue say it is empty. Printing doesn't work anyway, -so I have not attempted to fix this yet. - -Temporary files are created with long filenames (when printing, and updating -browse list) - -Bug reports for the OS/2 port should be sent to Jason Rumney <jasonr@pec.co.nz>. - -Change log: -=========== - -Changes from release 1 to release 2. - -nmblookup (nmblook.exe) is included, and works. - -An attempt at password support was made using the gnuufc crypt routines, -but then I found that a lot of functions in the EMX libraries to do with -passwd files don't actually do anything. - -Browse lists should now work if you use HPFS and set your lock directory -to an absolute pathname. |
