Samba/iX Services

Starting and Stopping Samba/iX

shell/iX> smbclient \\\\<sambaserver>\\sambadoc -N -c help

This command should connect to the sambdoc share on your HP 3000

using -N to suppress password prompt and effectively become guest

user and display the contents of on-line help screen of smbclient, see

Figure 7-10.

Figure 7-10 smbclient for MPE/iX (2)

NOTE All smbclient examples used the -c option to specify the command on

the command line. The smbclient program has an interactive mode

which looks like FTP. Due to limitations of the select() system call on

MPE/iX, the interactive mode does not yet work properly. At present, it

can be worked around by using the -c option of smbclient
