Configuring and Managing MPE/iX Internet Services (MPE/iX 6.0)

Chapter 7 101
Samba/iX Services
Samba/iX Configuration File Options
guest ok = no
write ok = yes
path = /sample/test
3. Add a username mapping in “user.map” file. For example:
mgr.sample = pcusername
4. When you connect a share from a PC, the password format that you
enter from a PC should be userpassword, acctpassword.
NOTE For accessing share/user security modes, both SAMBA account and
MGR.SAMBA user should have PM capabilities.
Configuring a Printer Section for Printer Sharing
The PCs can access the server side printer using Samba/iX. With
printer sharing the client creates a file on the server directory
associated with the printer, and then lets the server process trigger a
configurable command to push the file into the MPE spooler.
The
[printers] section works in conjunction with the printcap file and
allows to configure a large number of printer shares without having to
add separate detailed sections for each of them. The printer names and
option aliases are listed in the printcap file.
Here is an sample example of printer names in the samp-printcap file
which resides in /usr/local/samba/lib:
samp-printcap file:
LP|6|HP3000 System LP
Here is a sample example for the configuration option that you may
configure with
[global] and [printers] sections in the Samba/iX configuration
file — smb-conf:
[global]
# You need supply IP address and subnet mask of your 3000 with the interface
parameter
interface = ip address/subnet mask
# printcap file lists printer names for use by [printer] section
printcap name = /usr/local/samba/lib/printcap
# shares may be configured to accept connections without a validated user id and
password, and then it assumes the guest logon for accessing the printers.
guest account = mgr.samba
[printers]
# enable this service for printing but not for file access
print ok = yes
write ok = no
# current version of Samba/iX only allows guest users for printer sharing
