Hi I promised Shinobar to post this several hours ago. Sorry for the delay.

I posted the findings to the PUPPY Beta thread because there some items that may pertain to them as well.

Hope this helps

@Shinobar. I am enclosing a SAMPLE (EXAMPLE) smb.conf that I'd like you to consider shipping in the 3.5.6 updates you have planned. If you do,
I will rebuild the Puppy User Instructions around this smb.conf to make it easy for newbies to get started.

Review it and determine if you like its approach.

And, during the PET installation, the last installation window that POPs after PET install indicates that the Menu has been updated under Network. You may want to take a look at that message because teh current PET is NOT putting entry in Menu > Network. (Kirk did put an entry in Network when installing his PET in FATDOG)

Lastly, looking over your download site, I see that you had done some work on modularizing SAMBA. But, to properly use the pieces, will need some sort of document instructing what and how to piece things back together if need. See my PM to you on this.

Sometime in late January I will take the time to test and write a Puppy Guide to setting up a Puppy FULL LAN server that works same as vendor servers costing 1000-20000s of dollars. The SAMBA that you produce lets Puppy do this with ease.

Hope this helps.

Does your samba for puppy 4 use opt also? Can I use the config from 3.5.6?

Shinobar, I know that your PET for WARY is rather large. I would like to test it though. If you have a moment sometime, would you post it.

Thanks

Hi,

I'm struggling with the samba config file, and I'm wondering if anyone made swat work in puppy Lucid 5.2.

I installed the samba-3.5.6-1-lucid.sfs and tried to add a swat service (script) in inet.d like this:

#!/bin/sh
# swat is the Samba Web Administration Tool
swat stream tcp nowait.400 root /opt/samba/sbin/swat swat

What did I miss?

It would be great if someone had an answer to this one.
I've allready been using samba (previous version) and would like to make my home network a little better and secure.

Hi @Shinobar
I understand your issue with SAMBA, newbies, and low RAM.
BUT
I need your PET for SAMBA to setup and run a LiveCD environment that survives over reboot. Will you help by PM'ing me with a PET for testing. (And, Shinobar, I will take responsibility to provide feedback, test findings, which low-RAM configuration are appropriate, etc. if you'll make a PET available to me with matches this SFS.)

Thanks in advance.
