Network Samba
I'm probably doing something wrong. I installed the two pets as per the instructions. When I type samba-start in console, I get
"bash: samba-start: console not found"
When I run samba-login (after dragging to desktop) with default settings I get a dialogue box saying "no connection to pupshare"
On the plus side Pnethood now shows a tab for pupserver, but does not show a drive. It still sees the Windows machine and allows me to connect to the drive there.
Where to next?
Thanks.

Thanks again.
I used the console on the Puppy 5.2 desktop.
samba-start now does nothing.
is /mnt/home gives me "bash: is: command not found"

Samba network on Puppy
Sorry, I used "is". Ls does show the content of the folder. The 10 programs are running on Puppy.
From the XP machine, Network Places does see the Puppy but there are no shared drives, so cannot log onto them.

check your system for smb or smbd
Couple of question where we might be better able to zero-in on your problem.
- Which SAMBA did you install? (How did you get SAMBA on your system)
- Which Puppy are you using? (Several recent Puppies changed fs structure and rules and it looks like you are using Puppy 5.2)

You are very kind.
I think Samba came with the the distro though I don't know what version. The Puppy is 5.2. How can I find the version of Samba?
Why isn't there a GUI for this?

Go back to the Samba-TNG tutorial and follow the instructions for making a desktop shortcut.
ie. Right click on the desktop - New - Shortcut - \\pupserver
ie. Right click on the desktop - New - Shortcut - \\pupserver

More of Samba
When I create the windows shortcut I am told that the file \\pupserver cannot be found.
I installed the two samba-tng pets as per the tutorial. However I do not know what was installed with the distro. You think you're confused...?

Ahahh! After turning off firewalls I was able to connect to \\pupserver using root/woofwoof. Thank you.
Is it now possible to add other shared drives and remove the username/password requirement?

I can almost guarantee that it won't work for me.
E.g., I uncommented map to guest in the conf file, stopped and restarted samba, but a username/password are still required when connecting from the Windows machine.

That's because your current "pupshare" share does not have "guest" access. Add the following line to its smb.conf entry.
Code: Select all
[pupshare]
....
guest ok = yes

No luck. Now Samba-login does not work on the puppy machine, and from the Windows machine I am told that pupshare on pupserver (or pupserver on pupshare) is not accessible.

Here is the conf file:
[global]
dns proxy = no
max log size = 50
domain master = no
domain logons = no
workgroup = pupshare
netbios name = pupserver
server string = Puppy Samba-TNG Server
security = user
map to guest = Bad Password
;printcap name = cups
load printers = yes
[pupshare]
path = /mnt/home
writable = yes
guest ok = yes
[printers]
path = /tmp
printable = yes
guest ok = yes
