SAMBA Project Documentation SAMBA Project Documentation 23rd September 2003 This book is a collection of HOWTOs added to Samba documentation over the years. Samba is always under development, and so is its’ documentation. This release of the documentation represents a major revision or layout as well as contents. The most recent version of this document can be found at http://www.samba.org/ on the ”Documentation” page. Please send updates to Jelmer Vernooij, John H. Terpstra or Gerald (Jerry) Carter. The Samba-Team would like to express sincere thanks to the many people who have with or without their knowledge contributed to this update. The size and scope of this project would not have been possible without significant community contribution. A not insignificant number of ideas for inclusion (if not content itself) has been obtained from a number of Unofficial HOWTOs - to each such author a big ”Thank-you” is also offered. Please keep publishing your Unofficial HOWTOs - they are a source of inspiration and application knowledge that is most to be desired by many Samba users and administrators.

  • Samba-3 by Example
    Samba-3 by Example Practical Exercises in Successful Samba Deployment John H. Terpstra May 27, 2009 ABOUT THE COVER ARTWORK The cover artwork of this book continues the freedom theme of the first edition of \Samba-3 by Example". The history of civilization demonstrates the fragile nature of freedom. It can be lost in a moment, and once lost, the cost of recovering liberty can be incredible. The last edition cover featured Alfred the Great who liberated England from the constant assault of Vikings and Norsemen. Events in England that finally liberated the common people came about in small steps, but the result should not be under-estimated. Today, as always, freedom and liberty are seldom appreciated until they are lost. If we can not quantify what is the value of freedom, we shall be little motivated to protect it. Samba-3 by Example Cover Artwork: The British houses of parliament are a symbol of the Westminster system of government. This form of government permits the people to govern themselves at the lowest level, yet it provides for courts of appeal that are designed to protect freedom and to hold back all forces of tyranny. The clock is a pertinent symbol of the importance of time and place. The information technology industry is being challenged by the imposition of new laws, hostile litigation, and the imposition of significant constraint of practice that threatens to remove the freedom to develop and deploy open source software solutions. Samba is a software solution that epitomizes freedom of choice in network interoperability for Microsoft Windows clients.

  • Chapter 2: Installing Samba on a Unix System
    ,ch02.26865 Page 31 Friday, November 19, 1999 3:28 PM Chapter 2 2 Installing Samba on a Unix System Now that you know what Samba can do for you and your users, it’s time to get your own network set up. Let’s start with the installation of Samba itself on a Unix system. When dancing the samba, one learns by taking small steps. It’s just the same when installing Samba; we need to teach it step by step. This chapter will help you to start off on the right foot. For illustrative purposes, we will be installing the 2.0.4 version of the Samba server on a Linux* system running version 2.0.31 of the kernel. However, the installation steps are the same for all of the platforms that Samba supports. A typical installa- tion will take about an hour to complete, including downloading the source files and compiling them, setting up the configuration files, and testing the server. Here is an overview of the steps: 1. Download the source or binary files. 2. Read the installation documentation. 3. Configure a makefile. 4. Compile the server code. 5. Install the server files. 6. Create a Samba configuration file. 7. Test the configuration file. 8. Start the Samba daemons. 9. Test the Samba daemons. * If you haven’t heard of Linux yet, then you’re in for a treat. Linux is a freely distributed Unix-like oper- ating system that runs on the Intel x86, Motorola PowerPC, and Sun Sparc platforms. The operating sys- tem is relatively easy to configure, extremely robust, and is gaining in popularity.

  • SMB Analysis
    NAP-3 Microsoft SMB Troubleshooting Rolf Leutert, Leutert NetServices, Switzerland © Leutert NetServices 2013 www.wireshark.ch Server Message Block (SMB) Protokoll SMB History Server Message Block (SMB) is Microsoft's client-server protocol and is most commonly used in networked environments where Windows® operating systems are in place. Invented by IBM in 1983, SMB has become Microsoft’s core protocol for shared services like files, printers etc. Initially SMB was running on top of non routable NetBIOS/NetBEUI API and was designed to work in small to medium size workgroups. 1996 Microsoft renamed SMB to Common Internet File System (CIFS) and added more features like larger file sizes, Windows RPC, the NT domain service and many more. Samba is the open source SMB/CIFS implementation for Unix and Linux systems 2 © Leutert NetServices 2013 www.wireshark.ch Server Message Block (SMB) Protokoll SMB over TCP/UDP/IP SMB over NetBIOS over UDP/TCP SMB / NetBIOS was made routable by running Application over TCP/IP (NBT) using encapsulation over 137/138 139 TCP/UDP-Ports 137–139 .. Port 137 = NetBIOS Name Service (NS) Port 138 = NetBIOS Datagram Service (DGM) Port 139 = NetBIOS Session Service (SS) Data Link Ethernet, WLAN etc. Since Windows 2000, SMB runs, by default, with a thin layer, the NBT's Session Service, on SMB “naked” over TCP top of TCP-Port 445.

  • Using C-Kermit 2Nd Edition
    << Previous file Chapter 1 Introduction An ever-increasing amount of communication is electronic and digital: computers talking to computers Ð directly, over the telephone system, through networks. When you want two computers to communicate, it is usually for one of two reasons: to interact directly with another computer or to transfer data between the two computers. Kermit software gives you both these capabilities, and a lot more too. C-Kermit is a communications software program written in the C language. It is available for many different kinds of computers and operating systems, including literally hundreds of UNIX varieties (HP-UX, AIX, Solaris, IRIX, SCO, Linux, ...), Digital Equipment Corporation (Open)VMS, Microsoft Windows NT and 95, IBM OS/2, Stratus VOS, Data General AOS/VS, Microware OS-9, the Apple Macintosh, the Commodore Amiga, and the Atari ST. On all these platforms, C-Kermit's services include: • Connection establishment. This means making dialup modem connections or (in most cases) network connections, including TCP/IP Telnet or Rlogin, X.25, LAT, NET- BIOS, or other types of networks. For dialup connections, C-Kermit supports a wide range of modems and an extremely sophisticated yet easy-to-use dialing directory. And C-Kermit accepts incoming connections from other computers too. • Terminal sessions. An interactive terminal connection can be made to another com- puter via modem or network. The Windows 95, Windows NT, and OS/2 versions of C-Kermit also emulate specific types of terminals, such as the Digital Equipment Cor- poration VT320, the Wyse 60, or the ANSI terminal types used for accessing BBSs or PC UNIX consoles, with lots of extras such as scrollback, key mapping, printer con- trol, colors, and mouse shortcuts.

    Presentation on Principles of Distributed Embedded Systems (Embedded Systems - ECE)​​ I -M.TECH I -Semester (AUTONOMOUS-R18) Prepared by, Dr. S. Vinoth Associate Professor UNIT - I REAL TIME ENVIRONMENT 2 UNIT - I REAL-TIME ENVIRONMENT .Real-time computer system requirements .classification of real time systems .simplicity, global time .internal and external clock synchronization .real time model. Real time communication .temporal relations, dependability .power and energy awareness .real time communication .event triggered .rate constrained .time triggered. 3 What is an Embedded system? 4 What is a real-time system? . A real-time system is any information processing system which has to respond to externally generated input stimuli within a finite and specified period –the correctness depends not only on the logical result but also the time it was delivered –failure to respond is as bad as the wrong response! . The computer is a component in a larger engineering system => EMBEDDED COMPUTER SYSTEM 99% of all processors are for the embedded systems market 5 Terminology • Hard real-time — systems where it is absolutely imperative that responses occur within the required deadline. E.g. Flight control systems. • Soft real-time — systems where deadlines are important but which will still function correctly if deadlines are occasionally missed. E.g. Data acquisition system. • Real real-time — systems which are hard real-time and which the response times are very short. E.g. Missile guidance system. • Firm real-time — systems which are soft real-time but in which there is no benefit from late delivery of service. A single system may have all hard, soft and real real-time subsystems In reality many systems will have a cost function associated with missing each deadline.
