my Zaurus SL-C3000 and SL-C3100
By default, a Samba service is already installed on the Zaurus. It is used when you synchronise
your Zaurus with your PC while the USB cable is plugged in. You can also manually start and stop
the Samba service and allow it to go over your wireless and ethernet network instead of just the
USB cable. If you use the USB cable in advanced mode (with TCP/IP enabled), then you will be able
to access all your devices (MicroDrive, SD card, CF card and USB disk) at the same time instead of
being able to only chose one at a time in normal sync mode.
To allow Samba to be accessed via the WLAN (wlan0, wifi0) or LAN (eth0) interface, edit the
following file: /usr/lib/samba/smb.conf
Find the following line: interfaces = usbd0
add your network interface after usbd0 separated by a space like this: interface = usbd0 wlan0 eth0
You might also want to add a new entry: hosts allow = 192.168.1. (whatever the IP range of your
network is from which you want to connect to your Zaurus, multiple entries are separated with a
space)
[global]
workgroup = HOME
log file = /dev/null
hosts allow = 192.168.1. 192.168.129.
encrypt passwords = yes
coding system = utf8
client code page = 932
force create mode = 0755
strict sync = yes
sync always = yes
interfaces = usbd0 eth0 wlan0
#wins support = yes
bind interfaces only = yes
[system]
comment = System Folder
path = /root/samba
read only = no
browseable = no
guest ok = yes
force user = root
[home]
comment = for User Data
path = /home/samba
short preserve case = no
read only = no
guest ok = yes
force user = zaurus
And finally, you need to know how to start the Samba service:
# su
# /etc/rc.d/init.d/samba start
To stop the Samba service:
# su
# /etc/rc.d/init.d/samba stop
Alternatively, you can install sambacontroller [sambacontroller_0.1-0_arm.ipk] which gives you a
GUI interface to do it. Remember to give it root access or else nothing will happen. Also you need
to do the following to enable it to configure smb.conf (only needed for the C3000)
# su
# mkdir -p /home/root/usr/lib/samba
# cd /home/root/usr/lib/samba
