 Need a Samba nudge Have installed Samba 2.2.7-4 on a AIX 5.2 box as server. Can sought of connect to Samba server from Windows boxes, (still plenty of access denied and password errors) to the point where I can copy files off the AIX Samba server into XP, W2k and W98 clients. Still working on W95, WFWG and DOS boxes. Two areas mystify me where I just cannot get off the ground. (1) To set up an AIX 5.3 and AIX 4.3 box as clients, ( which I presume would be the same for Solaris and BSD boxes ) to copy files off the AIX 5.2 Samba Server, do I install Samba Client and Samba Common 2.2.7-4 off the IBM website onto the 5.3 and 4.3 boxes. What procedure is used on the AIX clients to get files off the server ie a sought of Windows Explorer setup. (2) What is the procedure for a AIX Samba Server to get files off a Windows Client. I tried to push files from the Windows client to the Server but it did not like the idea. Just kept getting permission denied even using the directory Windows used to get files off the server. This is all happening on a P2P Workgroup Lan where everyone can ping everyone else. Read heaps of articles but found nothing to get me started. Sorry to take you back into the dark ages. Thanks      |

This allows everyone to access and transfer files with no controls. The PCs mount as their H: drive using samba: [drive_h] comment = drive H partition path = /array/esd/drive_h public = yes writable = yes printable = no create mask = 0777 directory mask = 0777 preserve case = yes oplocks = no The AIX boxes mount the same storage with native NFS. oplocks = no was added to prevent some interaction with Windows access which I don't recall. This system is quite old: AIX 4.3.3 Samba version 2.0.6 |
