1 | This device is running a bare-bone Samba server which allows easy | ||
2 | transfer of files and directories between any networked desktop PC and | ||
3 | your networked PDA. | ||
4 | |||
5 | Since it is generally a bad idea to allow everyone read and write access | ||
6 | to your PDA, you will have to configure at least one user to get access to | ||
7 | any shared folder. | ||

9 | How to create a Samba user with password: | ||
10 | |||
11 | - If you haven't already created a non-root user, do so now: | ||
12 | root@poodle:/usr/bin# adduser testuser | ||
13 | Changing password for testuser | ||
14 | Enter the new password (minimum of 5, maximum of 8 characters) | ||
15 | Please use a combination of upper and lower case letters and numbers. | ||
16 | Enter new password: | ||
17 | Bad password: too short. | ||
18 | |||
19 | Warning: weak password (continuing). | ||
20 | Re-enter new password: | ||
21 | Password changed. | ||
22 | root@poodle:/usr/bin# | ||
23 | |||
24 | - Note that the password you entered will _not_ be your samba password. | ||
25 | Samba uses its own password database. | ||
26 | |||
27 | - Add a Samba password for your user: | ||
28 | root@poodle:/usr/bin# smbpasswd -a testuser | ||
29 | New SMB password: | ||
30 | Retype new SMB password: | ||
31 | Added user testuser. | ||
32 | root@poodle:/usr/bin# | ||
33 | |||
34 | - After you have added your new samba user, you'll have to restart the samba | ||
35 | server by running "/etc/init.d/samba restart" or by rebooting the device | ||
36 | |||
37 | - Use the newly created username / password combination to access your network | ||
38 | shares. Please note the the Samba username must also exist as a unix username! | ||
