How Can I Export HPUX FileSystem to Windows?

[meng_1]

HI all,
I want add a HPUX filesystem to Windows
'My computer' as a local dirver.
For example, I want export /home(HPUX) to F: (win98) disk.
How can I do that? Do I need startup additional service in HPUX?

samba is available here:

http://hpux.cs.utah.edu/hppd/hpux/Networking/Misc/samba-2.2.3a/

But if you have 11.x you can get CIFS/9000.

It works great for windoze users.

Yes, you need to install SAMBA for this but you need to have HP-UX 11x version. To get SAMBA, go to this link:

Hope this helps.

If you are on HP-UX 11.X check out HPs version of Samba called CIFS/9000. Best of all, these are FREE.

CIFS/9000 Client - allows HP-UX to mount Windows shares

CIFS/9000 Server - allows Windows machines to mount HP-UX shares.

Hi,

Another way is,

simply export the file system by specifying it in /etc/exports
and usuing the command exportfs.

on the windows PC you can use Hummingbird's product called" NFS Maestro" to mount it on your local system.

see the link,

Hi all,

Thanks a lot for your kindly help on that issues, Now I can use CIFS to mount HPUX fs on windows Os.
I config the smb.conf and export I want use in windows OS and I can find that HP-UNIX server in the network. When I double click the server
, I can C the path which I exported.
Thanks again and I have assiagned the point to all of U, my friend.:-)

But Now I meet the new problem, as U know I can see the UNIX server exported path in windows OS, but when I double click 'path'
it appear a new window, let me input the USER and PASSWORD. When I input the server's user and password, it always report wrong user or passwd? BTW, my windows is windows2000.

Hi Meng,

I Hope u have configured your HP-UX Server with Samba and yr ready to access it but as u said u face that password wrong problem here it the solution for you, do follow the steps

- modified the local security policy in W2K machines
- Start/Settings/Control Panel/Administrative Tools/Local Security Policy
- Local Policies/Security Options
- Send unencrypted password to connect to third-party SMB servers
- click on enabled and restart the machine.
- verify that the effective setting has been changed to ENABLED

- modified the register using regedit in Win98 machines
- take a backup of system.dat/user.dat/system.ini/win.ini
- goto the following register
- HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\System\CurrentControlSet\Services\VxD\VNETSUP
- create a new DWORD and add "EnablePlainTextPassword"
- double click and enter 1 as the value and restart the machine


Hope this helps....

Cheers & Regards,
Dayanand Naik.

meng,

in the samba configuration file smb.conf, turn off password encryption.

Meng-

One other thing to remember (and while it sounds silly to point it out, I forgot it myself, and thus my pennance for stupidity is to say the obvious :) Have you added the users to the Samba password file? if you have cifs, you should run the
smbpasswd -a
command and enter the password. I think you can reference the /etc/passwd file all at once, but I can't think of what the command is.
