Samba and HPUX10.20

Nick D'Angelo — Tue, 14 May 2002 17:52:07 GMT

Hello,
I have downloaded the samba pre-compiled version but how do I configure my smb.conf? Using vi?

Also, how do I get Swat to come up via the browser?

I hope it is a case of mental lapse on my part but for some reason I found this difficult.

Thanks,

Nickd

Yes you would use vi to edit your smb.conf file. To use swat:

make sure 901 is listening
# netstat -an | grep 901
look for LISTEN

on your browser
http://yourip:901

The rest is point and click.

Make sure you put "swat allow yourip" in the /var/adm/inetd.sec file.

Nick-

the browser is much easier, in my opinion. you don't have to sift through everything right away, and only the main stuff is shown at first. you can tell it to show all the options if you want to get complicated. Also, the browser allows you to start/stop and add/remove clients, so it's an all-in-one service. much nicer than manually in vi.

If swat is running, then pointing your browser at http://localhost:901 (if on the server itself, or http://ip.addr.of srvr:901 if not)
should bring it up.

This presupposes that you are allowing swat to the network address of the workstation you're using, both in inetd.sec (if you have swat defined in this file) and from within the smb.conf file.

hi,
check /etc/services for entry "swat 901/tcp"
take a copy your default smb.conf . because
SWAT will overwrite this file.

I can not get Swat to load/start.

What is the syntax?

Re: Samba and HPUX10.20

Rainer von Bongartz — Wed, 15 May 2002 13:41:16 GMT

take a look at /etc/inetd.conf. It should contain a line

swat stream tcp nowait.400 root /opt/samba/bin/swat swat

and the at /etc/services which should contain

swat 901/tcp # SAMBA Web-based Admin Tool

If those entries are present then simply point your browser at

:901

Rainer

Are you using the latest version of samba on your 10.20 box, i know there were problems with older versions an swat...

I would install the CIFS/9000 Server on the apps cd, i think it is on cd 3.

Do I need to restart inetd services?

Am I restricted to browsing to the SWAT from the IP address that is specified?

Re: Samba and HPUX10.20

It doesn't hurt anything to run inetd -c, if the swat entry is in inetd.conf. However, you don't need to run this if you have only made a change to the inetd.sec file.

All,

I have swat running and configurable now. Thanks.

However, I have created shares via samba, that do not appear on the Windows network.

In fact, I can not map to any of them.

Is there something that I am missing.

Much appreciated.

hi,
please paste your smb.conf for analysis.

Hi,

if your shares don't appear in the windows network first check if they are available. On a windows command box:

net view \\your.server.ip.adress

This should show you all your shares of your samba server. Don't us the netbios name you gave your samba server.

If you can see your shares (which i assume), then samba is set up correctly. Which means that the problem is on the Windows side.

Are you using WINS? Then you have to configure your new samba server in your WINS server. The problem is/seems to be that the netbios name of your samba server is not known in your windows network.

Hope this helps

Regards Stefan

Interesting System Error 5 has occurred.

Access is denied.

Do I need to allow an IP address or do I need to do something on the Windows Network side of things?

Re: Samba and HPUX10.20

Stefan Schulz — Wed, 29 May 2002 11:22:41 GMT

Could you please post the complete command you used and the result?

Also please post your smb.conf file.

Thanks

Stefan

I went to my command prompt on my Win2000 PC and typed in net view \\server.ip.address

more smb.conf

Hi,
I think you are not using any Windows NT PDC as authenticating server. If iam right then password server = server
is the culprit.
Try putting null value to the above line.
password server =
restart samba.

I reset the password server entry as suggested and still the same error message, System Error 5 has occurred.

Access is denied.

An idea/question, do I need to set my samba server in the same domain as the Windows domain name? If so, where do I do this in the netbios name?

Re: Samba and HPUX10.20

Stefan Schulz — Wed, 29 May 2002 12:45:01 GMT

Hi,

this seems like a user/password problem. As you don't have a security= in your smb.conf it is set (default) to security=user. Which means that you have to have the same valid user on both sides (NT and HP-UX).

So you have to be buder, nickd or root on your NT Workstation to connect to your shares.

If you have a different username on NT you should use the guest account. There are settings which read "guest ok" and "guest account". Activate them and give it a try. You might also want to set the security=share. This is less secure but easier to configure because you set all restrictions at the share.

Hope this helps

Regards Stefan

Nick-

I didn't see this above, and apologize if it seems stupid, but have you made the samba password file(smbpasswd)? you have to either remake your users in this file or tell samba to look at /etc/passwd before it will use the current UNIX users.
