[Samba] python: listing samba shares

[Ricardo Jorge]

Hi,

There was a line missing from source4/librpc/config.mk and it wasn't
building the Python module.

Here is a patch if you can apply it:

diff --git a/source4/librpc/config.mk b/source4/librpc/config.mk
index 2aeea6d..5305b34 100644

==================

If you can't patch just paste this:

[PYTHON::python_srvsvc]
LIBRARY_REALNAME = samba/dcerpc/srvsvc.$(SHLIBEXT)
PRIVATE_DEPENDENCIES = RPC_NDR_SRVSVC PYTALLOC pyparam_util
pycredentials python_dcerpc

python_srvsvc_OBJ_FILES = ../librpc/gen_ndr/py_srvsvc.o


in source4/librpc/config.mk. I think anywhere will be fine.

==================
After recompiling I could get the share names listed using this Python
code. Replace the credentials where necessary and server address.

#!/usr/bin/env python

import sys

sys.path.append('/usr/local/samba/lib/python2.6/site-packages')
sys.path.append('/usr/local/samba/lib/python2.6/site-packages/samba')
sys.path.append('/usr/local/samba/lib/python2.6/site-packages/samba/dcerpc')

from samba.dcerpc import samr, security, srvsvc
from samba import credentials

creds = credentials.Credentials()
creds.set_username("Administrator")
creds.set_password("x")

# you must leave this line or it will cause a segmentation fault
creds.set_workstation("")

try:
        conn = srvsvc.srvsvc('ncacn_np:localhost', credentials=creds)
except Exception, msg:
        print 'boooooo'
        print str(msg)
else:
        ctr = srvsvc.NetShareInfoCtr()
        shares = conn.NetShareEnumAll(u'localhost', ctr, 0, 0)

        print "\n\n============"
        print "There are " + str(shares[0].ctr.count) + " shares"
        print "============\n"

        for i in range(0, shares[0].ctr.count):
                print str(i) + ": " + shares[0].ctr.array[i].name

        print "\n\n"

I don't know how it will work for you because of your server
configuration. My Samba4 server is just for coding so it's pretty much
all default and local.
