![]() Replace with specification of your computer-system If you don't have a Synology DSXXX try to run one of the OSX10.5.8 system as a WINS server or use a Linux box.Ĭhance therefore the smb.conf file from above in the following way: *Important note*: ONLY ON SYSTEM IN A LOCAL NETWORK SHOULD BE A WINS SERVER!! Now smbd and nmbd should start at boot time. Launchctl -w load /Library/LaunchDaemons/ Load the plist file using launchctl on the commandline: Save both files in the new created directory.Ĭreate a symlink to the samba3 plist script: _Install the wrapper and the plist files_Ĭreate a directory using the commandline: opt/local/etc/LaunchDaemons/3/samba3.wrapper ![]() \# MacPorts generated daemondo support script (I modified the wrapper and plist files from a official macports mysql installation.) Now you can test your samba server running as daemon using the commandline:Ĭheck if your samba server configuration works:īuild a wrapper file and a LaunchDaemon file in order to start the samba sever automatically at boot time. Smb passwd file = /opt/local/var/db/smb/smbpasswd \# my imac/macbook never gets local master browser Name resolve order = wins lmhosts hosts bcast Note: replace with specifications of your computer system (I will present only the \ section of my smb.conf.) Nametool $/sbin/nmbd"+Īfterwards you can install samba3 using the normal macport commands (or Porticus).Īfter the installation create a smb.conf file under /opt/local/etc/samba3. opt/local/var/macports/sources//release/ports/net/samba3/Port file You will find the macport-samba3-portfile under ![]() Therefore you have to open the portfile (in a text editor) and add tow lines of code (see below). *Important note*: The portfile of samba3 has a bug. On Windows 7 and Windows XP I use the built-in systems. On both Mac and the DS209 I don't use the built-in Samba systems!! Instead I use Samba 3.2.15 from macports on both Macs and on my Synology DSXXX I use Samba 3.2.15 from ipkg. My local home network consists of an iMac 6.1 (OSX10.5.8), a MacBook 3.1 (OSX10.5.8), a Synology DSXXX (Linux), a VMWare Win7 (testing environment), a VMWare WinXP (testing environment) and Linksys WRT54GL (firmware Tomato 1,27). *Samba Howto: OSX10.5.8, Linux, WinXB, Win7 share*Īfter several day of research and trial and error i found a solution, so that the Finder of OSX 10.5.8 shows all samba3 shares (irrespective of the operating system) in the left sidebar below the category SHARES. ![]()
