 Posted: Fri Jul 19, 2002 8:52 am Post subject: Install Samba |
 |
|
Hi!
I installed samba with emerge samba and I'm currently configuring it with the help of some how-to's
What I've read I can either start it with a script that executes smbd and nmbd or through the file /etc/inetd.conf
From my suse installation I know the file inetd.con but at gentoo I haven't found it ... instead I've found something like xinetd.
How do I open/close ports through xinetd (I will start samba through a script now, but I would like to know anyway)?
Plus: I started the two samba daemons but I can't connect to swat through port 901
Maybe it's something about xinetd and ports? |

Emerge xinted and add it to the default runlevel:
| Code: | | rc-update add xinted default |
xinetd services are controlled via conf files in /etc/xinetd.d. AFAIK, services installed after emerge are disabled by default.

swat is a seperate service, and is not started by smbd/nmbd. When you install samba, you'll get a files named swat in /etc/xinted.conf. The file looks like this (after install):
| Code: | # default: off
# description: SWAT is the Samba Web Admin Tool. Use swat \
# to configure your Samba server. To use SWAT, \
# connect to port 901 with your favorite web browser.
# $Header: /home/cvsroot/gentoo-x86/net-fs/samba/files/swat.xinetd,v 1.3 2002/05

service swat
{
port = 901
socket_type = stream
wait = no
only_from = localhost
user = root
server = /usr/sbin/swat
log_on_failure += USERID
disable = yes
} |
If you want it activated, change disable to no. When xinted will be started, it'll activate swat upon connection attempt to port 901.
For the rest, read the man pages for xinetd.

Thnx ... now I can connect to port 901 but somehow he doesn't accept my root username+password!!??
Plus I'm not able to share a folder for my W2K domain ... the same problem as with swat - he wants username + pw but accepts nothing (not even root account). Any hints how I can share a folder without authentication, just a tmp folder for everyone to read/write |

Ok, I now generated a smbpasswd file with
| Code: | | cat /etc/passwd | mksmbpasswd.sh > /usr/local/samba/private/smbpasswd |
and set a password for root with
Now I can connect to the shares using root username+pw .... but how do I make shares available that everyone can read/write without authentication.
@swat: How can I access swat from remote computers? I removed the "only_from = localhost" from the swat file in xinet.d but I still can only connect from localhost!?
Btw: Does someone know a good samba how-to or guide? The how-to's I'm reading are a bit confusing... |

| Check the doc's on www.linuxnewbie.org - they have a fairly straightforward section on setting up samba. As for connecting to win2k machines - with the guest account disabled there is no anonymous access. |
