Before installing or using the Samba/iX product on MPE/iX, please visit
http://jazz.external.hp.com/src/samba/ for important installation
instructions.
- Migrating from Samba 2.0.7
- Migrating Back to Samba 2.0.7
Users of Samba 2.0.7 need to be aware of the following issues before installing
Samba 2.2.8a. For complete information about Samba 2.2.8a, please see
http://jazz.external.hp.com/src/samba/ (or
/usr/local/samba/ReadME.mpe after this patch has been installed).
Streamlined Installation Layout (Some Files Have Moved)
Previous versions of Samba installed a few files into the SAMBA.SYS
group and the remaining files into the SAMBA account. Starting with Samba
2.2.8a, all files are now installed into the SAMBA account in a
version-specific group, i.e. SMB228A.SAMBA. The Samba 2.2.8a
installation script does not modify any of the old Samba files in the
SAMBA.SYS group.
The Samba 2.2.8a installation script modifies the /usr/local/samba
symbolic link to point to the new /SAMBA/SMB228A file location. A new
symbolic link of /SAMBA/CURRENT is created to point to the same
location.
If you have any jobs, UDCs or command files, etc that refer to the old
SAMBA.SYS files, you must modify these old references to point to the
new file locations. Use either of the symbolic links to do this. That is,
instead of SMBD.SAMBA.SYS, you can refer to SMBD.CURRENT.SAMBA
or /usr/local/samba/SMBD or /SAMBA/CURRENT/SMBD.
Existing 2.0.7 Configuration Files are Compatibles with 2.2.8a
Your existing 2.0.7 configuration files are compatible with 2.2.8a. Copy them
from the old /SAMBA/SMB207/lib location to
/usr/local/samba/lib or /SAMBA/CURRENT/lib.
In order to take full advantage of the new 2.2.8a functionality, it is
recommended that you use /usr/local/samba/lib/samp-smb.conf as a
template for creating a new smb.conf file.
New "Full-Power" Model Enabled by Default
Previous versions of Samba for MPE required manually adding PM capability to
the MGR.SAMBA user in order to enable "full-power mode" where Samba
can authenticate against traditional MPE user and account passwords of the
format USERPW,ACCTPW. This functionality is now enabled by default
starting with Samba 2.2.8a.
Full-power mode is the recommended mode of operation. Besides the convenience
of authenticating against traditional MPE passwords, full-power mode also
enables Samba to setuid() to the authenticated user so that all file
accesses occur with the authenticated user's access rights
Full-power mode under Samba 2.2.8a is enabled for Samba program files if they
are owned by MANAGER.SYS but reside in the SAMBA account. The
full-power program files are currently NMBD, SMBD, and SWAT.
Since PM capability on the MGR.SAMBA user is no longer required for
full-power mode, it is removed by the Samba 2.2.8a installation script.
If after installing Samba 2.2.8a, you decide that you want to migrate back to
Samba 2.0.7, perform the following steps:
:HELLO MANAGER.SYS
:PURGELINK /usr/local/samba
:NEWLINK /usr/local/samba,/SAMBA/SMB207
(if you were previously using Samba 2.0.7 in full power mode)
:ALTUSER MGR.SAMBA;CAP=+PM
