[Voyage-linux] Samba & Voyage 6.5

[Navas Abubacker]

This is how I made it, for those who want an Samba on spare disk without
doing remountrw on Flash Card

here is the compilation steps

I am assuming /mnt/ide is the path where we need to install samba

a) go to www.samba.org and grab the latest source, by the time I compiled it
is 3.5.1

b) Extract in a temporary folder and go to the source folder and run
./autogen.sh from source3 directory

c) create the following directories

/mnt/ide/samba
/mnt/ide/samba/config
/mnt/ide/samba/state

d) run ./configure , for me it is

./configure --prefix=/mnt/ide/samba/ --localstatedir=/mnt/ide/samba/state
--with-configdir=/mnt/ide/samba/config
--with-privatedir=/mnt/ide/samba/config --with-fhs --with-quotas
--with-smbmount --with-syslog --with-utmp --with-shared-modules=idmap_rid
--with-libsmbclient --with-automount --with-msdfs --with-ads --with-winbind
--with-winbind-auth-challenge --with-manpages-langs=en --with-idmap
--with-acl-support

it will take few minutes, If configure stops then install the required
package

e) make && make install

f) put the following lines in /mnt/ide/samba/config/smb.conf

[global]
workgroup = WORKGROUP
netbios name = voyage
socket options = TCP_NODELAY IPTOS_LOWDELAY SO_SNDBUF=8192
read raw = yes
write raw = yes
oplocks = yes
max xmit = 65535
dead time = 15
getwd cache = yes
lpq cache = 30

[share1]
path = /mnt/ide/data
admin users = xxxxx
valid users = xxxxx
writeable = yes

g) put the following lines in /etc/init.d/samba and chmod +x and run rcconf
for auto run

#!/bin/bash
export PATH=$PATH:/mnt/ide/samba/bin:/mnt/ide/samba/sbin
case "$1" in
start)
pkill smbd
pkill nmbd
/mnt/ide/samba/sbin/smbd -D
/mnt/ide/samba/sbin/nmbd -D
;;

stop)
pkill smbd
pkill nmbd
;;
reload)
kill -SIGHUP `cat /mnt/ide/samba/state/run/smbd.pid`
kill -SIGHUP `cat /mnt/ide/samba/state/run/nmbd.pid`
;;
*)
echo Usage:
echo start stop reload
;;
esac
exit 0

h) add the samba lib path (at the end) in /etc/ld.so.conf

/mnt/ide/samba/lib

enjoy with your new Samba
