Hi guys

Recently there has been rumours of a developer porting Samba over to MOS, anyone have any information on this?

magnetic

Would be great if its true.

I never got my hands on a working MOS native version

Hi,

Me too, i use the 68K Samba files. I like to see Samba ported to MorphOS.

I'm no samba user so I wouldn't know, but what is this?

Well, i know the about that port.
Somehow, when decrunching it, i am not even able to run the main executables smbd/nmbd.
Only when killing the first byte with an hexeditor, otherwise its not executable.

Well, atleast for me...

The rumour might come from bbrv. They blogd about me and samba. I have started with a new port , hopefully usefull this time. I am looking into porting olsens clib2. clib2 gives us all features we need to get samba working. Actualy clib2 was first created with samba in mind. However clib2 is in it's current stage dependent on os4 or m68k amigaos. It uses the interface library calls on os 4 and inline assmbler on m68k to emulate this feature.

This may lead to porting from scratch. Last time I tried I made it with ixemul and I experinced that it did not woked as expected. The only thing that iexemul lacks to be able to build samba is fcntl recordlocking. If someone is skilled enough on unix recordlocking code , it might be possible to update iexemul. However as I said , ixemul probably isn't the right way to go.

So , this leads to implement some unix functions with libnix. Olsen made that with the sas/c runtime, but that was very dependent on the UFB structure in sas/c.

I am looking after other people that are interested to code on a mos samba port,so if you want to join me please give me a message.

Ohh I forgot that my old crapy "port" will soon be on aminet. Someone uploaded it a few days ago but I asked him to remove it. This time a very big disclaimer will be added to the aminet readme file, together with a call for help with samba :)

And one more thing . I haven't got any morphos compatible hw right now so I'm stucked with crosscompilers. However this might soon change :)

Hi all,

The archive "samba-3.0.4-morphos.tar", i can't get it running.
So i use 68K samba. A MorphOS port of SMBFS would be great too.

If you follow the readme you should be able to get it running.

If it doesn't work with inetd , try it from a shell.

But please keep in mind that smbd will loop with 99%cpu when a client disconnect:( You can use the "taskmanager?"(I don't remember the name but it comes with morphos) and quit the process.

> A MorphOS port of SMBFS would be great too.

Some time ago, i compiled a MOS version of SMBFS. Performances and behaviour was not very different from the 68k version.

Saragaglia,

it's not very suprising the natively compiled version is not faster as this kind of program just spends 99% of its time waiting for slow network i/o (and 1% building/decoding the frames). :)

Quote:

Thats what i did, but like i mentioned,
smbd/nmbd isnt executable on my machine,
when decrunching the archive.

However, im quite happy that you are trying to do a port again :)

Quote:
Yes I agree. I just wanted to confirm this...
In fact, in my system, playing music with ANR from my SMBFS device was not very efficient (sound often cut, and chronic short freeze).
I have first done some cache tests (mosnet and SMBFS), and then I tried to find some issue modifying SMBFS a little bit. I think SMBFS has some limitations (multiple-access issues), but I cannot really conclude it is responsible for the freeze issue.

Extract the archive with tar -xzf name.tar
Then you can start the programs.

No, i cant.

45.Ram Disk:TEST/TEST-3> tar -xzf
dh3:stuff/Downloads/samba-3.0.4-morphos.tgz
45.Ram Disk:TEST/TEST-3> samba/
45.Ram Disk:TEST/TEST-3/samba> sbin/
45.Ram Disk:TEST/TEST-3/samba/sbin> nmbd
nmbd: Unknown command
45.Ram Disk:TEST/TEST-3/samba/sbin> dir
nmbd smbd

45.Ram Disk:TEST/TEST-3/samba/sbin> smbd

Quote:

Sorry but I can't test this anymore.

Try to set the executable flag with protect or from ambient.

Quote:

Nah, the protection flags are set all right.
Like i said, killing the first byte of the executable, makes it run(and crash)

Its strange but dont worry, we are rather looking forward(to the new port) and not backward

Quote:

Strange, I installed this port a few years ago and it works great for me. I use it with Miami. Okay installation was not easy at all but the daemons are up and running.

Quote:

Ok, i found my problem and want to let u know.

smbd and nmbd reported unknown command.
Thats because they seem to execute command, which they didnt found, thats why that message.

The files never had a problem.

During startup i assing amitcp: somewhere else, during my swap from mosnet to amitcp again, so amitcp:samba was never found and caused this message....arg

Some lame news :

I have just compiled samba 1.9 with ixemul :)
No problems here I suspect that this was the last relase that supported system without fcntl recordlocking..

EDiT: link changed to the tgz package.

mos samba 1.9

Extract to AMITCP:
No config included.
Use at your own risk.

I have no idea if it works:)

Have fun !
