How to add new Job scheduler in Samba

[Laurie A. Krumrey]

Hi All,

I have a unix box 11.0 running Samba (which
I don't know much about).

We have a vendor job schedule (argent) that
just goes to the server and moves a file to
another NT box.

\\servername\ssbftp\ftprint
(by the way this path doesn't exit on my server, so maybe Samba hides things...)

Somewhere I am told this current scheduler
is set to "JS02", tho I can't find where this
is stored anywhere. I did find a login for
JSO2.

etc/passwd:
sched:*:1000:20:Scheduler FTP/SMB access,,,:/home/sched:/usr/bin/sh
jso2:*:1001:20:Ops login for samba,,,:/home/sched:/usr/bin/sh

My mission here is to add the new job schedule
(eventually we will removed the current
job schedule) "AUTOSYS"

I am told I need to add rights for AUTOSYS
the new job scheduler in samba and I haven't
a clue what my co-worker is asking me to do.
He did say that I don't need to add a login
for Autosys,but I just need to give it
some kind of rights or permissions in Samba.

Any thoughts or clues how I would set up my
new job scheduler in Samba.

TIA,
Laurie

The place where you assign rights in samba is the smb.conf file which is located in /etc. There may be a heading for /home/sched directory which is what you are trying to assign autosys rights for. Put that user in the group that is defined there. I think you may have to create the autosys user on the HP box though. Hope this puts you in the right direction!
