Samba Sharing

Samba is already on the Zaurus. All you have to do is configure the correct files and you will have an accessible share. SSH'd in to configure the smb.conf file.




Steps found at http://www.users.on.net/~hluc/myZaurus/custom.html. Search for "Enabling Samba over wireless".

Modify /usr/lib/samba/smb.conf
1. add eth0 to line with "interfaces = usb0
2. add line hosts allow 192.168.1. (or whatever your IP range is)
3. Add share at bottom of file
[zaurus_share]
comment = for Sharing Data
path = /mnt/card
short preserve case = no
read only = no
guest ok = yes
force user = zaurus
4. su root
5. /etc/rc.d/init.d/samba start
6. From a windows box hit the UNC for the Z
\\192.168.1.1\share_name

I set path=/mnt/card so I can copy straight to the SD Card and run the ipk through VNC.
