SAMBA server

I couldn't manage at first to get SAMBA working on the Nebula Zero and Hyperion images (not tried on others)
I tried to configure using the PKT Blue Panel - Mount Center - SMB Server - nothing seeming to work.

Here is what I did - I installed SAMBA package (enclosed on this thread to download).

place the file in /tmp and install the IPK through BluePanel or Software Management (in the setup menu) - then reboot
Then edit /etc/samba/smb.conf - this is what I have in my config file

[global]
   load printers = no
   guest account = root
   log file = /tmp/smb.log
   log level = 1
   security = share
   server string = Dreambox %h network services
   workgroup = NBOX
   netbios name = %h
   case sensitive=yes
   preserve case=yes
   short preserve case=yes
   socket options = TCP_NODELAY IPTOS_LOWDELAY SO_KEEPALIVE SO_RCVBUF=8192 SO_SNDBUF=8192
   preferred master = no
   local master = no
   oplocks = no
   printcap name = /dev/null
   load printers = no
   printing = bsd





[Root]
  comment = Everything - take care!
  path = /
  read only = no
  public = yes
  guest ok = yes




[Harddisk]
  comment = The harddisk
  path = /media/hdd
  read only = no
  public = yes
  guest ok = yes

and to enable it to start on boot, add this to /var/config/rc.user

/etc/init.d/samba start

this setup got it working and gives me access to two points - Root and Harddisk - and it starts on boot.

Not sure if others had the same issues using SAMBA on the BluePanel, but I did, and this is how I got round it.
