Robert,

(1) there is s.th. wrong in the security for this (and other) files I suppose.
you should perform a chmod.hpbin.sys "755 /etc/profile"
If you want to change the defaults it's wise to use /etc/profile.local (add-on
in 6.0)


(2) smbd.samba.sys -? will create an error but show the version!
[28] XEBHH2:smbd.samba.sys -?
SMBD.SAMBA.SYS: Unknown option -?
Usage: SMBD.SAMBA.SYS [-D] [-p port] [-d debuglevel] [-l log basename] [-s servi
ces file]
Version 1.9.16p9
        -D                    become a daemon
        -p port               listen on the specified port
        -d debuglevel         set the debuglevel
        -l log basename.      Basename for log/debug files
        -s services file.     Filename of services file
        -P                    passive only
        -a                    overwrite log file, don't append

The official way is of course /SAMBA/PUB/bin/smbstatus:
[33] XEBHH2:/SAMBA/PUB/bin/smbstatus

Samba version 1.9.16p9
Service      uid      gid      pid     machine

(3) You may refer to the documents in hp.docs.com (especially
http://docs.hp.com:80/dynaweb/smpe/b1015/b975/@Generic__BookTextView/17236 ), or
jazz.external.hp.com (e.g. http://jazz.external.hp.com/src/samba/index.html ),
and an article I wrote for the HP3000 Newswire as example how to share Instant
Information over your LAN using Samba/iX (
http://www.hillschmidt.de/gbr/sharinginstant-9910.html )


Hope that will help, best regards, Andreas Schmidt, CSC, Germany

Subject:  [HP3000-L] Questions from a Posix/Samba newbie


Hi all,

We have recently moved to a new 979KS, running MPE/iX 6.0, and I've been
given that task of setting up Samba.

1) When I run the Posix shell (xeq sh.hpbin.sys -L) I get 'cannot open
script "ect/profile": Permission denied'. It only works if I logon as system
manager.

2) How do I find out what version of Samba is installed on our system and if
there is a better version where do I get from?

3) Is there a 'Samba For Dummies' type document/guide/etc available? We
don't want to do anything fancy.

Regards,
