Using this you can simulate a smb -filesystem. - -*** This is code under development. Some things don't work yet *** - -Currently this code has been tested on: - -- Linux 2.0 with glibc2 (RH5.1) -- Linux 2.1 with glibc2 -- Solaris 2.5.1 with gcc -- Solaris 2.6 with gcc -- SunOS 4.1.3 with gcc -- IRIX 6.4 with cc -- OSF1 with gcc - - -It probably won't run on other systems without some porting. If you -have a different system then see the file PORTING. - -To use it you need to do this: - -1) build smbwrapper.so using the command "make smbwrapper" -3) run smbsh - -You will be asked for a username and password. After that you will be -returned to a shell prompt. It is actually a subshell running with -smbwrapper enabled. - -Now try to access /smb/SERVER for some SMB server name and see what -happens. If you use the -W option to set your workgroup or have -workgroup set in your smb.conf then listing /smb/ should list all SMB -servers in your workgroup. - - -OPTIONS -------- - --U username - specify the username and optional password (as user%password) - --d debug level - This is an integer that controls the internal debug level of smbw. It - defaults to 0, which means no debug info. - --l logfile - The place where smbw debug logs are put. If this is not set then - stderr is used. - --P prefix - The root of the SMB filesystem. This defaults to /smb/ but you can - set it to any name you like. - --W workgroup - This is the workgroup used for browsing (ie. listing machines in the - /smb/ directory). It defaults to the one set in smb.conf. - --R resolve order - This allows you to override the setting of the name resolve order - from smb.conf - - -ATTRIBUTE MAPPING ------------------ - -smbwrapper does an inverse attribute maping to what Samba does. This -means that the archive bit appears as the user execute bit, the system -bit appears as the group execute bit and the hidden bit appears as the -other execute bit. You can control these with chmod. The mapping can -be enabled an disabled using the normal smb.conf controls (ie. "map -archive", "map system" and "map hidden"). - -Read-only files appear as non-writeable by everyone. Writeable files -appear as writeable by the current user. - - -WHAT WORKS ----------- - -Things that I have tried and do seem to work include: - - emacs, tar, ls, cmp, cp, rsync, du, cat, rm, mv, less, more, wc, head, - tail, bash, tcsh, mkdir, rmdir, vim, xedit, diff - -things that I know don't work: - - anything executing from the share - anything that uses mmap - redirection within shells to smbsh files - -If you want to help with the development of this code then join the -samba-technical mailing list. - - |
