Seamus,

Do you have QEDIT in place ?

If so you could text the file /SAMBA/PUB/lib/smb.conf    (sic!)
and edit as usual.

If not, you can FTP this file to your PC, edit it (probably with PFE32 what
allows the Unix saving method), and ftp it back, having enabled a share for
/SAMBA/PUB/lib/ to perform this action the next time without a FTP in between.

Having done this, you may use a tool developed in Germany. Just go to
http://www.bb-online.de/etc/bbsat/samba_body.html
and download the tool, having enabled the BBsat share before as described on
this web page.

Additionally I will send you another eMail I send to another newsgroup member
asking the similiar.

By the way I'm pretty sure that a search in the database will show you a lot of
related entries!

Best regards, Andreas Schmidt, CSC, Germany

Subject:  Samba setup problems



We've just moved to MPE/iX 6.0 with Samba in the bundle.
I'm the IT man and have never worked in an Unix environnement.
I can enter the shell and wander around the directories ...

There seems to be quite a bit of doc delivered with Samba ... stuff on the
CD, html files, /docs readme files etc ...  and it's a bit complicated
knowing where to start.

I was looking for documentation from HP aimed at MPE people such as myself.
Then I found a SETUPJ file in /PUB.!!!
That led me to think that HP has found some nifty way to set up Samba for
MPE people.
Was that being too optimistic ? Where do  I start.

Also, how can I edit the smb.conf file when I don't know anything about vi ?

TIA
