7jPC shows differences between version 2.0.7 and PC side
7c7j shows differences between version 1.9.16p9 and 2.0.7
7j7c shows differences between version 2.0.7 and 1.9.16p9
7c refers to Samba for MPE/i/X 1.9.16p9.
The resulting output can be used to judge filename conversion need.
Example:
Shell/iX> find /SAMBA/SHR/public | mapdiffs
7c: /SAMBA/SHR/public/New_20_Folder/my_24_file.java
7j: /SAMBA/SHR/public/New_20_Folder/my$file.java
7c refers to Samba for MPE/i/X 1.9.16p9
7j refers to Samba for MPE/i/X 2.0.7 version
NOTE The file should be renamed before starting the new Samba for MPE/iX 2.0.7.
Change in the default security mode:
In previous versions of Samba for MPE/iX, the default security mode was “security =
share”. In this version of Samba, for MPE/iX 2.0.7, the default security has been altered to
make “security = user” as the default. The user needs to note that the config file needs to
be adjusted to avoid unexpected change in behavior.
Statfs:
A wrapper has been implemented to provide non-zero size of disk and free space.
NOTE Samba for MPE/iX 2.0.7 has been tested with Windows 2000.
Troubleshooting Samba for MPE/iX Server
This section covers a list of tests you can perform to validate or diagnose your Samba for MPE/iX server. If
your server passes all these tests, it is probably working fine.
Prerequisites
In all of the tests it is assumed you have a Samba for MPE/iX server 1.19.16p9 or later running on your HP
e3000. It is also assumed that the PC is running Windows for Workgroups, Windows 95 or Windows NT with
a recent copy of the Microsoft TCP/IP stack. All these tests should be done with Windows for Workgroups
(WfW), Windows 95,Windows 98 and Windows NT clients, as they all use different SMB’s for file operations.
You need to have a sample share called “public” for testing purposes. Check to see if you have “public” share
in smb.conf file:
[public]
comment = files are shared
path = /SAMBA/SHR/public
read only = yes
