Are you talking about sharing a scanner with computers running Linux or Windows, or something else?

I'm not sure whether Puppy includes everything you need, but check out:

hello, i just instaled Samba-TNG on my pyppy Slacko 5.3 and i have problem with foreign chracters in file names, they dont display correctly. I am from slovakia and i have set the LOCALE to sk_SK in Country Seting menu from Puppy setup. I also tried to set the codepage in smb.conf but this has no efect, the filenames are displayed incorrect. I also searched the codepage in my folders and only found a codepage 850 for samba in : /usr/local/samba/share/codepages/codepage.850. Can you pleas upload codepage files for my locale, or a new pet with Samba-TNG for countires like Slovakia, Czech, Hungary, Poland and others that use this encoding.

Thanks for help.

I know nothing about international language support. But I compiled samba-TNG again and pulled out all the codepage 852 stuff. It is in the PET below.

From the documentation, it looks like you would add the following to your smb.conf

[polykarp]

so i downoaded the PET, instaled it and have made the chenges in smb.conf.
restarted samba server and it is still the same. is there a log file for the Samba-TNG in puppy?

[rcrsn51]

/usr/local/samba/var/log

[polykarp]

ok so here is the output from log.smb:

and here is my smb.conf:

[hudba]
path = /mnt/sda3
guest ok = yes

force user = root

[programy]
path = /mnt/sdc1
guest ok = yes
writable = yes
force user = root

[instalacky]
path = /mnt/sdd1
guest ok = yes
writable = yes
force user = root

[zaloha]
path = /mnt/sdb1
guest ok = yes
writable = yes
force user = root


[printers]
path = /tmp
printable = yes
guest ok = yes

it sems to me that the "client code page" and "character set" is not supported. what are you think?
is there any solution for this?

[rcrsn51]

If you need language support, you should try one of the newer Samba 3.x packages. I believe that Slacko has one in its repository.

[polykarp]

Ok, if it is not posible in samba-TNG i try a Samba 3.x.

Anyway Thanks for Help.

[goolwa_pup]

i rtfm all good

[polykarp]

I hawe read itit is the first thing before a question in forum.
But it does not solwed my problem. Any way i instaled samba 3.x
and it is working.

[goolwa_pup]

sorry polykarp i had a different problem but i actually read the manual and solved it myself so edited my post....it was not a reply to your issue

Thanks for this.

Unfortunately I think this pet suffers from the 'Invalid packet length' bug, see here:

http://blog.gmane.org/gmane.network.samba-tng.cvs

quote:
"When Windows sends a very large packet (writing a large
file on the file server), sometimes the "Invalid packet
length!" could happen."

This happened when I tried to run some backup software, most of the time it was OK with normal browsing. The invalid packet length report shows up in the samba log files. I had to resort to running normal Samba and the problem went away.

Mark.

Duplicate post, sorry.
