Networking / Re: SAMBA and Active Directory
« on: 2007.11.27, 00:42:24 »
I'm thinking from the replies thus far that no one has yet tried SAMBA on active directory.

So I'm curious, what are you using SAMBA for?

See my reply in the other thread on AD and samba, but....

1) Kerberos is built for OS/2 - but kinit needs to be debugged - hope to have that fixed this week
2) A samba built with kerberos is available - and Bart has successfully browsed a share on an AD server using a java kerberos client, with smbclient.exe (which offers a FTP type interface to a remote share).

Next steps are to debug kinit - then add functionality to the Netdrive plugin to enable kerberos authentication to be used - and I guess ideally to automatically launch kinit to do the authentication.

Update: I hacked the source for smbcd.exe and once you're authenticated with kinit (the Java version) I've successfully browsed a share on a Windows 2003 server.

Still working on debugging the C version of kinit - looks like a select() call is the problem, but if anyone wants to play around - please contact me for a kerberos enabled smbcd.exe and a mudmap of how to set it up - paul at smedley dot id dot au.

Cheers,

Paul.

Networking / Re: How ican join OS/2 on active directory
« on: 2007.11.20, 04:19:45 »
I'm having problem adding os/2 warp into active directory.How i can  map os2 on my file server running windows 2003 active directory.

FWIW - some progress is being made on this.  Using a java kerberos client, and a kerberos enabled build of samba, we've been able to browse resources on a win2k03 server using eCS.

Next I need to debug why kinit (from kerberos) isn't working correctly, and integrate the necessary changes into Netdrive to make the access more seamless.

Stay tuned.....

Cheers,

Paul.

ups...

didn't notice the change of build-instructions. thanks for the hint.

No problem - I did post to comp.os.os2.apps my rough build instructions which did deviate slightly from the outline at Innotek.

Cheers,

Paul.

Hi Paul,

just wondering about your code changes. Do you have any changes for vbox/vbox/src/libs/ to compile xerces and xalan?

I didn't make code changes for xerces and xalan - I just did what the innotek build instructions page said...

Hi Paul,

I just downloaded your new package and it is working better (but still having an issue).
I can now run virtualbox.exe directly and the gui loads up fine without error now - and I can create the virtual computer and assign a hard drive image. But if I try to assign a host cdrom drive or floppy drive within the settings, it does not see any of my local drives. So there still appears to be an issue with floopy and cd/dvd boot drives (which I need to load my os from a cd).


I also saw the problem of not being about to select a drive letter from the gui - will look in to that when I get some free time.

You could always make an ISO of the cd so that you can install....

Communication / Re: GUI sftp client?
« on: 2007.11.03, 07:02:49 »
Hi,
I was just wondering if anyone knows of a either native or java based gui sftp client for os/2?
I just suggested a bounty for a native os/2 filezilla, but just wondering if there is anything out there at the moment (so far my search has not turned up anything.)

I have filezilla compiling - but unfortunately there are some problems in wxwidgets/2 that the developers are investigating that currently prevent filezilla from being usable - stay tuned :)

I tried again with the latest build.
I destroyed the previous image file and re-created it with the new package. The hard drive image file is on a JFS volume.

I did some limited testing using virtualbox.exe (the gui frontend) and an iso of windows 2000 - i got as far as win2k booting from the iso image so appears things do work.....

   Hmmm... I just noticed that VBoxC.dll listed at http://www.virtualbox.org/wiki/Binaries_overview is missing from this build archive. Could this be a problem?

Dave McKenna
That binaries overview seems like it may be out of date - there is a VBoxXCOM.dll in the package which I think is the COM stuff

Or I could have ballsed up and missed a couple of subdirectories when packaging the build (Thanks Trevor!).

I also tried VBoxBFE -m 128 from a command line and get: 'Failed to load VMMR0.r0  VBox status code: -102 (VERR_FILE_NOT_FOUND).

I notice at 'http://www.virtualbox.org/wiki/Binaries_overview' that there are several *.r0 and *.gc files listed that are not in the archive of the build - are they required?

Dave McKenna
Dunno - but I just refreshed the zip to include them!

I have the latest svn code compiling - just need to do some testing and maybe I can make something available publically.....

Great, can't wait

Note that for me, adding device=vboxdrv.sys to config.sys made the desktop fail to populate icons after a reboot....

Applications / Re: CUPS???
« on: 2007.10.26, 05:27:22 »
Hey Paul,

I dont know if this is related, but I have a copy of ffMPEG which, only on certain files, crashes... but only on my Athlon 1100 system. On my Xeon based system (which is 4 CPU) it finishes with no crash. Is either issue possibly due to some incompatible optimization in the app or libraries?

It could be CPU optimisation related - IIRC correctly, the ffmpeg build process tries to identify the CPU on which it's running to set appropriate optimisations  (in my case Athlon64 X2 processors).  It possible sets some CPU instructions that a plain Athlon doesn't support (SSE?)

If it's a real problem - I could look at different optimisation levels for better compatability.

Cheers,

Paul.

I found a Mac OSX PPD driver pack that includes my HP PSC 1210xi, you are saying that if I can get that PPD file, I may be able to import it for use under OS/2?
Please help!

You need more than just the PPD file...... For HP printers there is HPLIP (http://hplip.sourceforge.net/) - which I'll work on once the current issues with CUPS are resolved.

I did make some progress in understanding why the second page fails last night.

The cups changes are supposed to introduce a new switch for Ghostscript - NOMEDIAATTRS - with this switch in pstoraster (which cups uses to invoke ghostscript), ghostscript gives an error.

Trying to understand why now......

Cheers,

Paul.
