Samba HOWTO

http://en.tldp.org/HOWTO/SMB-HOWTO.html was last updated April 2000,
long before Samba v3. V3 has broken much of what used to work between
OS/2 and Linux, and, from what I hear, even between Linux and windoze.
Does anyone know a modern substitute for this HOWTO that takes into
account changes in Samba 3? Is anyone here working on an update to it?
I'm willing to help test and troubleshoot to make that happen. I'm tired
of being stuck on SuSE 8.2, the last distro I've been able to make
coexist happily with OS/2. :-(

It's still working fine here.

What's broken? I'll have to tell my Linux systems they're not allowed to
talk to my OS/2 box, until this problem is resolved. ;-)

Here is a discussion concerning one thing that is broken in V3
http://marc.theaimsgroup.com/?t=104824471300002&r=1&w=2

I have recently gone through the heartache of trying to get Linux to
authenticate against NT 4 (works) and automount the users NT 4
directory (fails). Here are my notes how I bodged it together

Exactly what is working fine? Please share your config files.

An OS/2 workstation connected to a linux server via samba.
Been working for more than a year with no problems or changes. First
set up in Redhat 9 (gods know what samba version, 2.something,
probably), thru SuSE 9.1, and now with SuSE 9.2 (Samba 3.0.7-4) The
OS/2 side is warp 4.52, but I see no reason why eCS or Warp Server
would be a problem here - warp peer has been stable since Warp 3.

You might also see the back issues of OS/2 Magazine - I wrote several
articles on how to network linux and OS/2 using samba and NFS. They
both work fine.

I'm impressed with your reported experience. In asking myself on the
mailing lists and Usenet previously, as well as threads on both by
others, virtually everything indicates problems in v3 samba, such as
http://groups.google.com/groups?hl=e...24fb431&rnum=2
and
http://groups.google.com/groups?hl=e...70cf6c1&rnum=1
but there are quite a bit older too, especially on the various OS/2
lists on Yahoogroups.

When? I have some, but have no idea how to find any but the few I have.

You attached only two config files, smb.conf and ibmlan.ini. Are these
all you use? Since I have no problem with SuSE 8.2/samba 2.2.7a mounting
the OS/2 share, I wouldn't think my problem has anything to do with
smb.conf, but this is why I wish for a current HOWTO. Since discovering
OS/2 can mount via NFS, I don't even try using the samba server on 8.2.
My problem is on the newer 3.x sambas on Fedora Core, Mandrake, and
SuSE, mount claims to succeed, but the mount is always inaccessible, and
I don't see anything in the existing HOWTO that helps.

Also, on the current distro versions, I can't get OS/2 to mount a Linux
NFS export that works just fine on older SuSE 8.2, and between various
newer distros and 8.2. But, this probably belongs in a separate thread.

I guess I'm even more confused than ever. The only significance between
my and your IBMLAN.INI makes me wonder why yours works. You have
wrkservices = ,MESSENGER, but not PEER.

I tried a smb.conf based upon yours, but that didn't help:

NET2758: The system cannot connect to the server.
For more information, type HELP NET2758.

NET2758 is a USERID/PASSWORD mismatch.

I wasn't really interested in using OS/2 as client to a Linux samba
server, unless I cannot figure out why NFS for that purpose is not
working. It seems like there must be some other configuration files to
consider?

Here are diffs from mine to yours anyway:

Sorry for the delay - it's REALLY been one of those weeks. As for
your confusion, I can't really help much. The ibmlan.ini file
previously posted came from a running system that copies a file from a
linux server every 30 minutes via warp peer, so I'm forced to admit
that it looks like it's working just fine.

For the record, if you tell the kernel nfs server in suse 9.1 and
above to NOT use nfs v.4 (I forget the syntax offhand, check man mount
and man nfs), it should work just fine. A painfully detailed howto on
doing either is available here
http://www.catherders.com/Notebook-M...book-tech.html
You'll need to dig around a bit, that page keeps growing and I haven't
yet been bothered to reorganize it), or here -
http://www.os2voice.org
Just do a search of the archives on my last name - it's in there
somewhere.

By the way, from the error message you posted above, your current
problem looks like you have not created a sambe ID to match your OS/2
user ID.

And lastly, I know you'd prefer that I reply via email, but without a
valid email ADDRESS, it's not easy. I use my real email address and
rely instead on postfix/spamassassin/amavisd-new/clam/f-prot. My
daily spam received is around .5 and I don't have to fool around with
people unable to email me.
