Samba server config tool

I am in the process of fully converting my existing w2k pc to knoppix.

This is suprisingly well on the way.
I can do almost everything I did on this W2K now on knoppix.

BUT..

sharing a folder,drive or printer form knoppix is real pain.

Isn't it possible to add next a Samba Server Config Tool with a GUI next time ?
(for example the KSambaPlugin : KSambaPlugin is a KDE 3 plugin for configuring a SAMBA server.
It consists of two plugins, a KControl Center module for all SAMBA
options and a Konqueror properties dialog plugin
for quickly configuring the SAMBA share options of a directory)

I think if you want to really use knoppix to replace windooze you've got to add this one.

It is included in KnoppixKDE, the remaster by eadz. I also like it a lot. Please write a mail to Klaus Knopper and ask him to include it in regular Knoppix. But I guess there is no debian package yet due to debian's imminent stable/testing/unstable problematic...

I think there is, at least in the woody-version used earlier and they are compatible ... I am trying to include it in my live-installer ...

But tha'll take some time as I need to hack kdesu :-)

If there is a .deb, why not just send it to KK?

http://www.stack.nl/~geertj/kde/kdesu.html says, "from now on, every KDE version will have kdesu built in" - so it should be already in Knoppix?

Hm, there is no .deb in unstable available. I could not yet test, if the woody-version works with unstable-kde ... Sorry, that was misinformation.

I need to hack kdesu to be prefixed through sudo, as on running Knoppix there is no root-password one could enter.

But also include the normal version, knx-hdinstall should swap binaries then.

I see, you are a genius :)

I'm a relative newbie....I've installed and dumped many versions of Linux. But Knoppix is great! I love apt-get.

I have access to the printer connected to my WinXP box (LPT1) and a shared folder on same machine.

I used the kde print manager (with CUPS) and LinNeighborhood. If I can do it anyone can.
:shock:

I haven't had many problems with Samba setup on 3.1.

To get anywhere you have to ctrl-alt-F2 into root and set a password but after that things go ok. You have to add the connection lines to the Knoppix.sh file manually after you run a config, but it's really easy. The only thing haven't liked was the lack of boot login, but that could probably be fixed with a little more learning shell scripting. The neat thing about the .sh file is that it runs as root when it starts up! Any pre-setup you need dump in the file and it will take care of itself!

That said, I connect at work to another windows PC/browse network, as/400 shared folders, telnet to the 400 [no tn5250 in knoppix] , and use the network printer. I can also share/browse knoppix pc folders with the Windows PCs.

It took a bit of setup, but it starts up cleaner than the installed windows 98--all from a CD and Floppy!

Still no GUI samba config tool on last release of knoppix (10-04-2003)
Doesn't we all need this ????

If you mkae a debian package for unstable kde, I'll take care that it is on next iso.

Don't know how to make deb packages.
I am searching (and trying) progs all around now. (i am trying to make sambalinkq work now directly from standard cd boot). This is a C++ package that only needs compiling .
Check it out at http://www.spanware.com/linkq/sambalinkq.html
But for knoppix cd version the Makefile needs to be adapted.
i am in the middle of making it work. We'll see soon. :P
I'll try to make an intall script to install it directly from the net. (first try make it run from already downloaded file)

Adding 'Take a joint' should also be a real improvement for knoppix.
As it is only 63 kb and its already in a deb package this shouldn't be too hard to integrate in KNOPPIX :
chect it out at http://www.spanware.com/linkq/sambalinkq.html
It's a package which adds a new command specially for easy file sharing purpose.

the download of the latest deb package :

Damn to quickly clicked on sent. :twisted:
it's not http://www.spanware.com/linkq/sambalinkq.html but it's http://www.linux-fuer-alle.de/mr/taj...n.html#project

I like the idea.

Take a joint seems to me to be a really good idea. With a good knoppix-preconfiguration this could be something, one could think about to integrate.

I'm sorry, I have no time atm, but hm. next weekend I think I can spare some hours for this project.

PS: Thx, for the nice ideas!
PPS: You could also make a bug-report here at knoppix.net. So called featurerequest.
I can then assign for this bugs :-)
