[Samba] Samba 3.0.24 on OpenWRT

[Kunal Punjabi]

Trying to send this again because the message was too large last time..

 

 

Thank you for your help so far.

 

I don't see any output with the "smbd -d 10 -i" command. 

 

However, on a positive note, after doing a "smb -i", samba is now
"listening" for requests and I can connect to it from a linux client
using 

smbclient //IPADDRESS/share

(and then use get/put to transfer files from the /tmp share)

 

(FYI I had to add "netbios-ssn 139/tcp" to /etc/services

And "netbios-ssn stream tcp nowait root /bin/smbd" to /etc/inetd.conf

to get it to work.)

 

These are some other related configuration changes:

I do have 2 questions:

1.            The samba server is only waiting for samba connections if
I use the -i (interactive) mode. Any idea how I can get my samba server
to listen for and accept requests automatically (in non-interactive
mode)?

 

2.            A second related question is, how can I configure mount
points and samba shares from the OpenWRT user interface? For example in
the UI, I added a /etc mount point, but I cannot access it from my linux
smb client (using the smbclient command) the same way I could access
/tmp  (/tmp was statically configured in
package/samba3/files/samba.conf) at build time.

      Is there something that needs to be done to make it work
seamlessly with the OpenWRT User Interface? Or is this question
misplaced? :

 

Thanks again.
