[help needed] Netbios Name resolution for Dbox

[pt-1]

Hi Guys,

I have already asked in the Tuxbox Board but I would like some Netbios Name Resolution support for the Dbox so that it shows up with it's name within your Windows Workgroup.

The feature could be resolved via NMDB

I am unable to built this at present due lack of knowledge,time or Linux Machine....

Anyone ?

@pt-1,
So what exactly are you trying to do? Please explain with all available information

P.S: The Oxygen FINAL image had both smbd and nmbd compiled and worked with NetBIOS.

[Speedy2206]

OK looking through the makefiles I found that building the samba server will also give you the NMBD file you require. Samba (not the client-portion however!) is not included in a standard image build but you can specify it by adding --enable-sambaserver in the configure line.

By the way, to get it going you will actually need smbd and nmbd. I am half way through a test compile now with the very latest CVS tree so I will upload all the required files to here when that is complete for you to test.

[Speedy2206]

As promised here are the files. I have also included libnsl in case you need it (I'm not entirely sure).

Instructions:

- smbd needs to go in /bin or /var/bin and CHMOD 755
- nmbd needs to go in /bin or /var/bin and CHMOD 755
- smb.conf needs to go in /etc or /var/etc and CHMOD 777.
Optional: libnsl-2.3.6.so needs to go in /lib or /var/lib

Once all files are in place, use telnet to execute the smbd command (use smbd & to run it in the background), and once that has completed without errors, execute the nmbd command.

After that you will be able to see the DBOX2 in your Windows Workgroup or Server Domain, with its hostname, and a couple of shared folders. You can login using the root account.

Hope this is what you were after.
Liam

EDIT: Forgot to attach the file - done now

/hdd/bin > smbd &
/hdd/bin > smbd: relocation error: smbd: symbol seteuid, version GLIBC_2.0 not defined in file libc.so.6 with link time reference

it's all installed here:

/hdd/bin > ls -l
-rwxr-xr-x 1 root root 69968 Dec 2 22:31 libnsl-2.3.6.so
-rwxr-xr-x 1 root root 274064 Dec 2 22:31 nmbd

-rwxr-xr-x 1 root root 398100 Dec 2 22:31 smbd

Kernel is
2.4.36.9

[Speedy2206]

How old is your image? These are based on the very latest CVS without modification, so should work with latest image. Kernel version in newmake is 2.4.36.6. Make sure libnsl-2.3.6.so is in /lib, /var/lib, or /hdd/lib etc.
