| 21 | 1. Introduction
|
|---|
| 22 | _______________
|
|---|
| 23 |
|
|---|
| 24 | Samba is a SMB/CIFS protocols file and print sharing server/client suite
|
|---|
| 25 | originally made for the UNIX world to cooperate with corresponding Windows and
|
|---|
| 26 | eCS (OS/2) servers or clients. eCS (OS/2) has a native implementation of SMB/CIFS
|
|---|
| 27 | server/client set - IBM LAN Manager and IBM Peer. These products haven't been
|
|---|
| 28 | updated for a long time and have some compatibility problems with modern
|
|---|
| 29 | Windows SMB/CIFS implementations.
|
|---|
| 30 |
|
|---|
| 31 | This package is the eCS (OS/2) port of Samba client made as the plugin for
|
|---|
| 32 |
|
|---|
| 33 | - NetDrive for eCS (OS/2) - a well known virtual file system for eCS (OS/2) or
|
|---|
| 34 | - EVFS - the eComStation Virtual Filesystem for SMB.
|
|---|
| 35 |
|
|---|
| 36 | eCS (OS/2) Samba client provides seamless access to SMB/CIFS file shares over
|
|---|
| 37 | your network using TCP/IP as the underlying transport protocol.
|
|---|
| 38 |
|
|---|
| 39 | The eCS (OS/2) Samba client consists of one module:
|
|---|
| 40 | ndpsmb.dll - the NetDrive/EVFS plugin itself.
|
|---|
| 41 |
|
|---|
| 42 | Releases prior to version 1.5.0 had a second module which is now deprecated:
|
|---|
| 43 | smbcd.exe - the Samba client daemon, which actually processes the requests
|
|---|
| 44 | from ndpsmb.dll
|
|---|
| 45 |
|
|---|
| 46 | 2. License

| 67 | 3. Installation
|
|---|
| 68 | _______________
|
|---|
| 69 |
|
|---|
| 70 | The plugin needs the klibc runtime named libc06*.dll (the innotek gcc runtime
|
|---|
| 71 | DLL) somewhere in your LIBPATH, if it is not there already (It comes with any
|
|---|
| 72 | recent eComStation release).
|
|---|
| 73 | The plugin needs the 32 bit TCP/IP stack. This stack comes with all eComStation
|
|---|
| 74 | releases. If you have still the 16 bit stack, please search the net for the 32 bit stack.
|
|---|
| 75 |
|
|---|
| 76 |
|
|---|
| 77 | 3.1 Netdrive
|
|---|
| 78 | ____________
|
|---|
| 79 |
|
|---|
| 80 | You must have NetDrive 2.2.1 or newer installed prior to installation of this
|
|---|
| 81 | package. If you want to use 64bit file API, you should install 2.3 or newer
|
|---|
| 82 | version of NetDrive.
|
|---|
| 83 |
|
|---|
| 84 | To install the plugin run instpl.cmd from this package. It will place all files
|
|---|
| 85 | to the netdrive plugin directory.
|
|---|
| 86 |
|
|---|
| 87 | 3.2 EVFS
|
|---|
| 88 | ________
|
|---|
| 89 |
|
|---|
| 90 | To install the plugin, just put ndpsmb.dll into x:\ecs\dll (where x: is your bootdrive)
|
|---|
| 91 |
|
|---|

|
|---|
| 97 | 4.1. Usage with Netdrive
|
|---|
| 98 | ______________________
|
|---|
| 99 |
|
|---|
| 100 | NetDrive Samba plugin is used according to general NetDrive usage rules. Read
|
|---|
| 101 | the NetDrive documentation for more information. The SMB/CIFS resources could
|
|---|
| 102 | be mounted either using command line nd.exe utility or WPS ndpm.exe utility of
|
|---|
| 103 | NetDrive.
|
|---|
| 104 |
|
|---|
| 105 | The NetDrive Samba plugin parameters are:
|
|---|
| 106 |
|
|---|
| 107 | workgroup - the name of workgroup to connect to.
|
|---|
| 108 | server - the name of server to connect to.
|
|---|
| 109 | share - the name of server resource (share) to connect to.
|
|---|
| 110 | user - the name of user to login under.
|
|---|
| 111 | password - the password of selected user.
|
|---|
| 112 | master - the name of 'master' server or workgroup, used to get the list
|
|---|
| 113 | of workgroups when the concrete workgroup and server not
|
|---|
| 114 | specified.
|
|---|
| 115 | masterttype - 0 if 'master' is the name of master server, 1 if 'master' is
|
|---|
| 116 | the name of master workgroup.
|
|---|
| 117 | easupport - 1 to support eCS (OS/2) Extended Attributes, 0 to not support it
|
|---|
| 118 | cache timeout - the time in seconds for which the cache is valid. If the time is
|
|---|
| 119 | over the client rereads the directory again. For a directory with
|
|---|
| 120 | many files it may be better to increase the timeout.
|
|---|
| 121 | (rule of thumb: per 500-800 files 10 seconds). Default: 10 seconds
|
|---|
| 122 | cache listings- the amount of directories the cache should hold. Be aware the higher
|
|---|
| 123 | the value the more memory is used. Default: 32 listings
|
|---|
| 124 |
|
|---|
| 125 | To mount the exact server's share one need to specify both 'server' and
|
|---|
| 126 | 'share' parameters, the other parameters are optional. The root path of
|
|---|
| 127 | server's share will be mounted to the mounting path.
|
|---|
| 128 |
|
|---|
| 129 | If one want to access all server shares, then only the 'server', not the 'share'
|
|---|
| 130 | parameter, should be specified,the other parameters are optional. The list of
|
|---|
| 131 | server shares will be mounted to the mounting path.
|
|---|
| 132 |
|
|---|
| 133 | If one want to access all servers within the workgroup, then only the 'workgroup',
|
|---|
| 134 | not the 'server' parameter, should be specified, the other parameters are
|
|---|
| 135 | optional. The list of servers within the specified workgroup will be mounted to
|
|---|
| 136 | the mounting path.
|
|---|
| 137 |
|
|---|
| 138 | If one want to access all available workgroups within one master browser
|
|---|
| 139 | within the network, then only the 'master', not the 'workgroup' nor the 'server' parameter,
|
|---|
| 140 | should be specified, the other parameters are optional. The list of workgroups
|
|---|
| 141 | will be mounted to the mounting path. The 'master' workgroup can be any known
|
|---|
| 142 | workgroup in the net. The 'master' server should be the master browser for
|
|---|
| 143 | workgroup[s].
|
|---|
| 144 |
|
|---|
| 145 | By default the 'guest' user with blank password is used to access selected
|
|---|
| 146 | resources. If you get access denied errors, try to specify another user
|
|---|
| 147 | and password combination.
|
|---|
| 148 |
|
|---|
| 149 | 4.2 Usage with EVFS
|
|---|
| 150 | ___________________
|
|---|
| 151 |
|
|---|
| 152 | eComStation comes with a GUI program named EVFSGUI which is even more feature
|
|---|
| 153 | rich than the Netdrive GUI. Refer to the documentaion that comes with eCS.
|
|---|
| 154 |
|
|---|
| 155 | 5. Debugging
|
|---|
| 156 | ____________
|
|---|
| 157 |
|
|---|
| 158 | To produce a logfile please add an empty file called ndpsmb.dbg into the
|
|---|
| 159 | root drive.
|
|---|
| 160 |
|
|---|
| 161 | The logfile is placed to your LOGFILES env path, if available. If the
|
|---|
| 162 | LOGFILES environment variable is missing, the logfile is placed into the
|
|---|
| 163 | Netdrive directory. The logfile is called log.ndpsmb for the Netdrive part
|
|---|
| 164 | and log.smbc for the Samba part.
