Topic: manual edit file

[badm4n]

afaik we have transparant proxy and some other software that installed automatically when we install this distro
-

can i edit this config file manually ?
example : pico squid.conf ?

cause i'd like to change the port and some other config

Here are my notes on customizing squid.conf.  The items I was trying to customize are not defined in SME 7 so I created a new template fragment.  If you want to customize an existing entry, search /etc/e-smith/templates/etc/squid/squid.conf/* for the appropriate template fragment, copy it to the .../templates-custom...  area, and customize the copy.

Frequently you can change settings using the configuration database -check out config show squid - it looks like you can change the squid port this way, at least.

Before customizing a template fragment, read the original to see if it already recognizes a database entry - frequently the templates will respond to database entries that don't exist by default in the configuration database...


Modify Squid Settings

mkdir -p /etc/e-smith/templates-custom/etc/squid/squid.conf
pico -w /etc/e-smith/templates-custom/etc/squid/squid.conf/90squid_customizations

Code: [Select]

thx but ( nmaybe cause iam so dumb i very new here, could u tell me more detail ? or there is any simple way ?

[mmccarn]

It's simpler than it looks - but if you want step-by-step instructions you'll have to tell us exactly what you want to change - we won't be able to teach you how to change anything you want to change in a few posts...

Specifically, what port do you want to change, what do you want to change it to, and why (in case there's a better way to solve the same problem)?

You mention wanting to change "some other config" - which?

squid.conf ( i need to change the port )
smb.conf ( i need create 3 folder that can be mapped drive from windows XP )

sorry too much but i think i'll learn from both conf
i have already search to every where there is no step by step tutorial
rite now im on the way to understand different of the package installer between yum and swaret/apt-get

Change the squid port:
config setprop squid TCPPort <portnumber>

However, this may break transparent proxy mode unless you also do this:
config setprop squid TCPProxyPort=80:<portnumber>

And since the current value is 3128 for this, too, I'd suggest:
config setprop squid TransparentPort=<portnumber>

And finally, to activate your changes:
expand-template /etc/squid/squid.conf
/etc/init.d/signal-event squid restart

Creating samba shares
I think you just need to create "ibays".  I believe that ibays are published as samba shares using the permissions you specify when you create them.

Caveats & Excuses
I have not personally tested the above settings, but I don't see why they wouldn't work.  Having said that, I seem to make a lot of posts that require subsequent fine-tuning...

i mean i want to add map drive at windows using samba without askin any password (
help pls

[mmccarn]

Try this:
Group: Everyone
User access via file sharing or ftp: Write = group, Read = group

then, access it using:
\\192.168.1.254\pc1

(your example says you created "pc01" but once created it was named "pc1" - I assume this is a typo somewhere?)

You *will* need to enter a username and password, but since all users are members of the group "everyone" you should now have access to the share using any existing username on the system.  

As you've set it up, you would have to give the 'admin' username and password to access the share (write = admin, read = group = admin).

If this is a real network requiring any sort of security I think you can create a new 'group', add all your users to this group, then set security to "write = group, read = group".

Here's a post about setting up samba shares that support "guest" access: http://forums.contribs.org/index.php?topic=34556.0
