Topic: Map SME /home to Windows

[Shing]

Hi

Is there a way to map the SME's /home directory on a Window's machine (xp, w2k)?

Thanks
Shing...

Yes.

Is there a reason the methods regularly discussed here don't work for you?

Thank you for responding.

I would like to clarify that I would like to map the server's "/home" directory to Windows and not the user's "/home" directory.

Thanks
Shing..

You will need to add it to your smb.conf file (you will need to school up on samba). The e-smith way is by using custom templates.

below is a script i use to make the server-resources folder available to windows networking. If you edit it appropriately you can share /home

Be aware that unix file/folder permissions will still apply

#!/bin/sh


# *simple* script to make /home/e-smith/files/server-resources viewable to MS Networking (pasting it in to this form has wrapped lines so take care)


mkdir -p /etc/e-smith/templates-custom/etc/smb.conf
if [ -f /etc/e-smith/templates-custom/etc/smb.conf/99server-resources ];then
rm /etc/e-smith/templates-custom/etc/smb.conf/99server-resources
fi
touch /etc/e-smith/templates-custom/etc/smb.conf/99server-resources
echo "[server-resources]" >> /etc/e-smith/templates-custom/etc/smb.conf/99server-resources
echo "comment = server-resources" >> /etc/e-smith/templates-custom/etc/smb.conf/99server-resources
echo "path = /home/e-smith/files/server-resources" >> /etc/e-smith/templates-custom/etc/smb.conf/99server-resources
echo "readable = yes" >> /etc/e-smith/templates-custom/etc/smb.conf/99server-resources
echo "guest ok = yes" >> /etc/e-smith/templates-custom/etc/smb.conf/99server-resources
echo "browsable = no" >> /etc/e-smith/templates-custom/etc/smb.conf/99server-resources
/sbin/e-smith/expand-template /etc/smb.conf
service smb restart

Hope this helps
