Amiga Samba for Idiots Guide - Updating this week!!!

Hi Guys

I was re-installing Samba today using my own guide when I spotted a few broken links and a reason why it hasn't worked for some people in the past. With thanks to Mike Woods at ANT I will be making a couple of changes to the English OS4 Guide.

If anyone has any other suggestions for inclusion please shout now. I probably won't be re-updating it any time again this year.

*BUMP*

Any suggestions?

@Mikey_C

Did you already started ? I have on my HD a semi complete french translation of an old version. I'm not sure I kept a backup of the original files (stupid me!!) so I might not be able to update accordingly :-/ Anyway if you are interested I can already provide you with my current version.

@abalaban

Well, if you can translate the changes I make (There won't be that many) i'll add them on to the site - no problem.

the link to examples of smb.conf dont work :(.

@jackepc

Yes I know, I am working on the site as much as I can, but I also want to add support for MacOSX too, so its taking a bit longer. I hear its impossible with Windows Vista, but I am gonna give it a go and see for myself.

In the meantime, copy the smb.conf file and then take out all the spaces between each word, then re-format it back. its a tab/space issue thats causing the problem.

there should be a newline in " ....Devs/Internet/ Drawer netbios-ns 137/udp.... (after "drawer" which should have a "d" and not a "D" BTW )

@Mikey_C

Just in time! I finally seem to have update 1 sorted out here. And I have overcome the hurdle of rebuiliding two WinXP boxes at work. Since I've never finished my last attempt at Samba on my A1, it's about time I get everything connected here at home.

I hope you find a cure for the Vista (64??) problems as well as any which might exist with Windoze 7(64). I have one of each here at home, and would like to be able to link to both of them with my Amiga.

Looking forward to your update!

@Paul

regretfully, I won't be installing any 64 bit windows anything. So, if anyone here wants to help out, I would be grateful.

Cheers.

@Mikey_C

Does the extended delay (10 days) means there are more changes than first anticipated ?
If there is too many changes I don't know if I would be able to update my translation soon.

BTW would it be possible to version your guide either by adding a version number or at least a revision date ? Would be easier to spot which version one has on its HD.

@abalaban

I am working on a frames based layout, some will hate it I am sure.

But I am unable to devote any time to it at the moment, this week is choc-a-block.

Next week looks a lot better

Cheers

I wasn't lucky enough in the past with this guide so i end up using amiganetcenter with success.
But it works only with xp. Vista, 7 and osx 10.5.8 ppc they can ''see'' the share
in the network but they can't open it and access files.

@Mikey_C

Great work Mikey, i ope to be able to install this package again when i have time.

Its an awesome step-by-step, just dont let it go, mate, ok?

Thumbs up
