Hi back,

please have a look at the HP-UX 11i Application CD4. There is a programm called HP-CIFS Server - better known as SAMBA.
Install that, make all settings and after a succesfull installation you will be able to access the UNIX Filesystem from a MS-Windows PC.

Best greetings

Hi Susee,

SAMBA, aka CIFS server and Client is the answer for you. You can download and install from

http://h20293.www2.hp.com/portal/swdepot/displayProductInfo.do?productNumber=CIFSTP3

You can use swat to configure SAMBA.

Hi susee,

Good day! Hope you remeber,

You can install the following:

-----------------------------------------
CIFS-Client A.01.09.03 CIFS Client
CIFS-Development A.01.11.04 HP CIFS Server Source Code Files
CIFS-Server A.01.11.04 HP CIFS Server (Samba) File and Print Services
-----------------------------------------


Cheers,
Raj.

So I checked out the Disc4

- The Name of the Package is B8725AA and the corresponding version is A.02.02
- At the Server End you will find a default smb.conf file under /etc/opt/samba. The configuration is depending from your local security and permission settings.I recommend to study the smb.conf file.
_ At client site there is nothing to do except mapping the Network-Drive ( pointing to your UNIX Machine).

I hope this will help you further.

Hi Susee,

For accessing files from Windows on HP-UX, you can use, smbclient which is part of SAMBA package.

Also, Upgrade to samba 3.x due to several bug fixes and vulnerabilities.

Shalom,

The app cd's contain outdated versions of Samba aka CIFS/9000.

You are much better off with the links already provided from the http://software.hp.com site.

Note that the Samba server install will work while a system is running but the Samba client requires a kernel recompile and boot of the system.

Please plan and schedule accordingly.
