[SOLVED] Troubles with SAMBA on alARM

[jhaveri]

I had some trouble also, but it worked after reading about systemd on wiki. I then used the following command to make samba start on boot.

systemctl enable smbd.service
systemctl enabel nmbd.service
systemctl start smbd.service
systemctl start nmbd.service

I had to use enable only once. Apparently it creates symlynks and then you can use smbd start stop etc.

$this->bbcode_second_pass_quote('WarheadsSE', 'D')o me a favor,
$this->bbcode_second_pass_code('', 'systemctl')
And tell me what you get. A lot, or "no connection to dbus" or the like.

Looks like they are there but in a failed state

$this->bbcode_second_pass_quote('WarheadsSE', 'T')his might be using systemd instead of rc.d style sysvinit !

Have you run the configuration checker for samba?

first of all, I just installed archlinux arm

/etc/rc.d/samba/restart gives this:

[root@alarm etc]# /etc/rc.d/samba restart
/etc/rc.d/samba: line 4: /etc/rc.d/functions: No such file or directory
/etc/rc.d/samba: line 4: /etc/rc.d/functions: No such file or directory
/etc/rc.d/samba: line 30: stat_busy: command not found
/etc/rc.d/samba: line 42: rm_daemon: command not found
/etc/rc.d/samba: line 43: stat_done: command not found
/etc/rc.d/samba: line 4: /etc/rc.d/functions: No such file or directory
/etc/rc.d/samba: line 12: stat_busy: command not found
/etc/rc.d/samba: line 24: add_daemon: command not found
/etc/rc.d/samba: line 25: stat_done: command not found

/etc/samba/smb.conf file is this:

[root@alarm samba]# cat /etc/samba/smb.conf
[global]
workgroup = WORKGROUP
server string = ALARM
netbios name = ALARM
security = share
[printer]
load printers = no
printing = bsd
printcap name = /dev/null
disable spools = yes
log file = /var/log/samba/%m.log
max log size = 50
dns proxy = no
socket options = TCP_NODELAY IPTOS_LOWDELAY SO_KEEPALIVE SO_RCVBUF=131072 SO_SNDBUF=131072 SO_KEEPALIVE
[ArchLinuxARM]
path = /media/mnt_sdx1/
read only = no
public = yes
writable = yes
force user = root


* - nofile 16384

[root@alarm samba]#

uname -a gives this:

Linux alarm 3.1.10-15-ARCH #1 PREEMPT Wed Dec 12 15:25:18 UTC 2012 armv5tel GNU/Linux

Thanks for any tips!

OK, I've made some progress, and am able to view *some* directories on other machines on the WORKGROUP. I've modified my smb.conf file to this:

[root@alarm samba]# cat smb.conf
[global]
workgroup = WORKGROUP
server string = ALARM
netbios name = ALARM
security = share

[printer]
load printers = no
printing = bsd
printcap name = /dev/null
disable spools = yes
log file = /var/log/samba/%m.log
max log size = 50
dns proxy = no
socket options = TCP_NODELAY IPTOS_LOWDELAY SO_KEEPALIVE SO_RCVBUF=131072 SO_SNDBUF=131072 SO_KEEPALIVE

[ArchLinuxARM]
path = /media/mnt_sdx1/
read only = no
public = yes
writable = yes
force user = root

[homes]
comment = Home Directories
browseable = yes
read only = no
create mode = 0777

[tmp]
comment = Temporary file space
path = /tmp
read only = no
public = yes

[public]
comment = Public Stuff
path = /home/public
public = yes
writeable = yes
printable = no

* - nofile 16384

[root@alarm samba]#

and would now like the whole drive (USB drive inserted into dockstar) to be r/w by all on the workgroup.

I've also noticed that to start/stop/restart samba, I have to use this routine:

/etc/rc.d/samba [start/stop/restart] and do get various errors, but only 1 error with testparm on the last line, that somewhere I read would allow better compatibility with win7 systems.

Should I be starting/stopping samba with sysctrl ?

Thanks!

Yes
systemctl restart smbd
