Ross,

According to testparm upcase.dat (and a couple of other files) should be located in z:/samba/lib where in fact they are located in z:/samba

Ross,

When Cygwin plugin refers to PESetEnv plugin, is that needed?

Thanks

VW

Hi,

I think I've identified at least one of the issues, according to testparm upcase.dat should be located in z:/samba/lib where in fact it is located in z:/samba

At the moment I am not sure where this is configured. I will keep looking.

Here's the output from the latest test

Appreciate any advice you can offer.

OK I've now added the ldap package and get the following error when testing with:

smbclient -L localhost -U guest%password

Error message:

Unable to open configuration file y:/samba/smb.conf

I don't know where the Y: drive is coming from, the system drive for Bart is always X:

smb.conf is located in X:/programs/samba/ramdrv/samba

A setup doc would be handy if you have one

Thanks

VW

It looks like the ldap package is not installed by default

Hi Ross,

I am trying out your Samba plugin with BartPE.

I have added the Samba plugin and the Cygwin plugin to my Bart build.

After the build I have the Samba directories and the Cygwin directories, but when I try to test the Samba installation with command:

smbclient -L localhost -U guest%password

I get the above error message

Any suggestions on things to try?

Also if I get this working I want to add a user and change the default password for the existing shares. I understand that I do this with smbpasswd. What files are updated, as I would like to update these files in the build.

Thanks for the plugin, assuming I can get it to work will be very useful.

You might like to post your plugin in the 911cd forums (http://www.911cd.net/forums//index.php), as there is an active Bart forum there.

Hello,
I tried out your binaries but finaly I dicided to compile the code by my own. (Because of fixed path statements in the binaries which are not fine for my installation system). The patch you offer in your submit is titled with version 3.0.13, but after downloading I saw that its a Patch for 3.0.4. Can you please correct this issue?
I tried out your Patch with 3.0.4 code and it works fine. I compiled the binaries on a Windows XP Professional and I'am using the standard path "/user/local/samba....". Objective is for me to have a WINS Server running in my LAN without having to license a WINDOWS SERVER. So it seems to be necessary to have this in place in order to browse with "MY Network Places" vía (Open-)VPN Connections, because the Netbios Broadcast are limited by Subnet.

hiya - i've been looking into a cheap way of running a PDC on a network without having to shell out for windows server licenses. my plan was to run linux, but unfortunately the server needs to run several windows-only programs. if your port of samba can act as a PDC, then that would appear to solve the problem.

is this a proper port of samba to win32, or is it just for BartPE? i'm slightly confused...

any thoughts?

cheers
