Samba Server Login & Shares GUI ...TEST...
### NEW VERSION: I found some bugs & seriously rewrote it.
Near as I can tell, it looks like everything is working.
NOTE: I added the option: Samba Server = ON / OFF
Beem; You might Google to see if there's a replacement for Linneighborhood.
If you find a new one being developed (hopfully better), we'll test it for Barry.

Will test again tomorrow. I presume I can download from the original post, it will contain the updated scripts?sunburnt wrote:### NEW VERSION: I found some bugs & seriously rewrote it.

jamesbond; Yes, there were about 15 downloads, now there's 0 or more.
The download counter is reset to zero when a new file is uploaded.
Odd, the button: [Upload New Version] shows the old file's size, not the new ones.
I assumed it didn't upload the new one, so I delete & then attach the new one.
Idea for this forum (or any forum), show the date a file was uploaded.
Then it'll be relatively easy to tell if it's a new one...

Sorry took me so long to come back ...
Downloaded and try with fresh 2.16.1 livecd running in RAM.
part 1
1. install Muppy-SMB
2. install rc.samba (tar and put it into /etc/rc.d)
3. tar samba-admin
4. run samba-admin (from terminal)
5. try to add user - I can see errors on the terminal saying that /etc/samba/privite/smbpasswd does not exists
6. a new samba-admin window (same as the original one) pops-up.
7. close all windows.
part 2
8. touch /etc/samba/private/smbpasswd to create the missing file
9. run samba admin again
10. try to add user (same as one specified in 5)
11. says "user already exist", and pop-ups another samba-admin window.
12. close all windows
part 3
13. run samba admin again
14. try to add user (new user name)
15. terminal says "smbpasswd doesn't exist"
16. pop-ups another samba-admin window.
17. close all windows
part 4
13. run samba admin again
14. go to the "shares" tab
15. see that "homes" share is enabled, I click the "enable/disable" button
16. pop-ups another samba-admin window with no change in the "homes" share settings
I decided to stop testing here ...

Hi iscraigh; This looks just like what the doctor ordered! I'll tell Barry.
jamesbond; I realised the other day that I don't know if Barry will include
the Samba utility tools, I'm guessing probably not... They're size is 12MB.
The command: smbpasswd is one of them, it's 1.437 MB in size (BIG).
My GUI also uses: smbstatus, it's only 556 KB in size, but that's still large.
smbpasswd is for the Login panel, & smbstatus checks for connections.
So I'm going to to wait for the next Puppy release to see what's needed.

No worries. Will test again then time comessunburnt wrote:jamesbond; I realised the other day that I don't know if Barry will include

Thank you, I didn't came that far when searching for a replacement tool.
But how to install?
In any case there is lot's of support for python in Puppy. (see MU's software installer to find)Q2. What do I need to run pyNeighborhood?
Linux (of cource), samba (samba-3.0.x is preferred, built with smbmount support), python>=2.3, pygtk >= 2.6.0 (earlier releases may work but are not supported). You should also use POSIX-compatible shell (with zsh pyNeighborhood works fine). Optionally - GNU make to install pyNeighborhood system-wide. If you don't have it, you may create a config.py (simply run ./configure) and run "$ python pyNeighborhood.py" from the source tree, but be ready for some malfunction.
Could be a nice adventure.
Time savers:
