Samba Client, and Server   
Hi, got two questions:

1) does QNX feature a samba client that support smb v4, to connect to Windows 2003 shares?

2) AFAIK there is no samba server in QNX. Is there one in pkgsrc?  I tried to find it, but it's so big, I didn't see it.


Any help would be appreciated.

AFAIK there are different authentification algorithms across various Windows versions. E.g. in older versions you do not
 need to specify a domain, and fs-cifs will try '*' as the domain, etc.

Does the 6.4.1 fs-cifs actually support mounting shared folders from a Windows 2003 server? The docs only mention 
Windows NT 'or other SMB servers'.

FWIW, I just used 6.4.1 fs-cifs to mount a shared folder on a Windows 
2003 server.

Try yourself, and if you speak SMB then you can look at the packet 
capture to see what dialects and domains etc are used...

Hope this helps you!

Did you check out the binary packages page?:

http://community.qnx.com/sf/wiki/do/viewPage/projects.pkgsrc/wiki/BinaryPackages

There's one here:

ftp://ftp.netbsd.org/pub/pkgsrc/packages/QNX/i386/6.4.1_head_20090724/All/

Or they should be able to build their own from pkgsrc/net/samba.

AFAIK fs-cifs should work as the client.

I'm not sure I understand your question because I'm not that familiar 
with the details of the CIFS protocol. What is version 4?

Here's the documentation links in case that helps:
http://www.qnx.com/developers/docs/6.4.1/neutrino/utilities/f/fs-cifs.html
http://www.qnx.com/developers/docs/6.4.1/neutrino/user_guide/fsystems.html#CIFS

That's correct, I don't know of a QNX CIFS/SMB server.

Please check the pkgsrc project on foundry. I believe there's net/samba.

Sorry I can't be of much more help.
