If you do not want
Samba running on your OES Linux Subscriber server, you can ensure
that a Desktop Application Distribution will succeed by including
the NCP share names in the Samba configuration file. Samba does not
need to be running in order for Tiered Electronic Distribution to
use thesmb.conffile.
To edit the Samba configuration file:
On your OES Linux server, open the following configuration file in a text editor:
/etc/samba/smb.conf
Copy an existing share section to the end of the file and paste it as many times as you have NCP shares to add, then edit the copied sections to be:
[share1]
comment = for access to the NCP share
path = /usr/novell/share1
write list =@ntadmin root
force group = netadmin
create mask = 0644
directory mask = 0755[share2]
comment = for access to the NCP share
path = /usr/novell/share2
write list =@ntadmin root
force group = netadmin
create mask = 0644
directory mask = 0755whereshare1andshare2are the NCP share names, such as sys and apps. Note that the share names are used both within the brackets and in the path.The share names in the smb.conf file and NCP must be the same.To display which NCP shares are available, enter ncpcon on the OES Linux server console and type help or --h for a list of the NCP command line options.
