- Here is some advice from maxfield@ctelcom.uucp.netcom.com (Wade Maxfie
- to use Samba with OS/2 Warp.
-
- Note that you may also find ftp://ftp.cdrom.com/pub/os2/new/os2net.faq
- useful.

-
- Can I use Samba with Warp?
-
- Yes. The MSClient software at ftp.microsoft.com in the Bussys
- (lanman os2 directory) will work, sort of. It is version 2.2c.
-
- First, uncloack os2ver. (attrib -h -r -s c:\os2ver). It is a
- text file. change netwksta.xxx to 20=netwksta.sys. Also add
- 20=setup.exe. Another change will be needed, a .vdd file. I remember
- it came up during the installation as being a wrong version. I wrote
- the name down, changed os2ver to include it, and restarted the
- installation.
-
- Here is a copy of my os2ver
-
- setup.exe
- netbios.os2
- nwifs.ifs
- netwksta.sys
- nwreq.sys
- netbios.sys
- ipx.sys
- netvdd.sys
-
- Re-cloak os2ver. (attrib +h +r +s c:\os2ver)
-
- Run the installation from an OS/2 Box. Note that your mouse wont work,
- use the TAB key to move around, enter to select hilighted items.
-
- Here is a copy of my Config.sys file regarding the Laman entries.
- Note even though the version is 2.2c, it reports 2.2a in the text.

- If you have an NE2000 card, don't reboot, or you'll be sorry.
- enable the automatic backup mechanism for recovering old config.sys and
- other files in OS/2. It paid for itself during this installation nightm
- before I knew better!)
-
- Next, (or perhaps before this), if you have an NE2000 adaptor,
- get the ns2000 files from hobbes.nmsu.edu (in ns2000.zip). I manually
- patched protocol.ini to refer to that adaptor, and copied it into my
- c:\lanman directory. Note that I also modified the driver to be loaded
- in the config.sys to the ns2000.os2. It might install as an "other"
- adaptor.
-
- A command file "startup.cmd" is placed in c:\. This file is
- automatically run when OS/2 Warp starts.
- Here is a copy of my startup file. Note that Warp sometimes fails to
- login properly to the server. I solve this by checking for the
- existance of a file, and rerunning the loing if that file fails to
- exist.

- exit
-
- Finally, the system expects to be on a domain with a domain
- server. BTW, TCP/IP and NetBeui allow simultaneous communication with
- Os/2 lanserver 4.0, and Samba. (Note: Lanserver 4.0 won't yet to
- TCP/IP. (Well,it might, but it crashes before I get to that point, so I
- havent' been able to enable it))
-
- I have not yet tried with only a SAMBA server on the domain.
-
- I would be glad to try to answer any questions at above e-mail
- address, if I can.
