I started with the sample cfg. Nothing really different for the basic shares.
Still am having a problems with files being created with wrong
owners/permissions for some of my "specials". :)

I tried it but not very successfully. Smbmount seemed to work, I was able to
browse directories on the OS/2 machine etc. for a while. As soon as I started
a program (almost any!) the connection froze. Actually it froze my whole
network at that point. My drives are HPFS, and someone mentioned there may be
problems accessing HPFS partitions, so I gave up. :(

Define "decent" please. 

I can open as many telnet or telnet-pm sessions as I choose. I can also head
over to Tucows/2 or Hobbes and install any other Telnet routine. I really
liked the version that was included as part of Hummingbird's eXceed for OS2
but that gets expensive if you don't need the rest of the X stuff. Try the
TelnetPM and work with some of the customizations to make it work the way you
want. 

ZOC, if I recall correctly and it has been years since I last used it so I may 
be mistaken, is only talking to your com ports or to a vmodem enabled port.
While the vmodem allows you to convert telnet protocol to com protocol you are 
limited by the number of vmodem ports you have defined.

As did I.

I have fiddled with things in there to some extent,  but am having trouble
with shares that I've created being accessible to other machines,  and am not
sure where to go to make it work.

My main interest at this point is in using that box as a file server,  running 
the bbs under OS/2 and only keeping the OS,  the bbs software,  and the
message areas on the OS/2 box and keeping the files sections on the Linux box. 
I'm not making much headway in this,  though.

I am not having a problem with accessing drives,  per se,  when it comes to
such stuff as ftp.  Though until I got some permissions straightened out it
was easier for me to fire up ftpd on the OS/2 box and ftp from the Linux box
into there and run things from that end,  "pulling" the files that I wanted to 
move across rather than "pushing" them from the OS/2 end.

But the Samba stuff,  the shares and whatnot,  that's still in need of a bunch 
of work here.

I don't see where the filesystem should have anything to do with this, 
though.

Long file names make the difference. All this mangling etc. is still a dark
area for me, too. ;)

Oh.  Well,  I haven't got any mangling happening here,  it seems that when I
can get things flowing okay there isn't any problem,  it's getting the
permissons and whatnot right that are giving me some trouble.

Particularly setting up Samba,  and configuring things around the Linux end of 
it to make it work...

Hi Kenneth!

In your message to Johan Zwiekhorst, dated <Thursday September 09 1999 07:22>, 
you wrote:

Ah, okay, that's simple enough. If your Linux machine has a DNS server on
board, specify that one as the DNS in your OS/2 configuration. If it doesn't,
you have to specify your ISP's DNS server addresses (IP addresses, no
_names_!). Your could do all this automatically by using a DHCP server in your 
network, but there's not much point if you use only a few of networked pc's.

Subj: Comm Manager/2

Anyone seen the following problem in Communications Manager/2?  I have a
terminal session running to an AS 400.  Everything works fine, except...the
display font has a bunch of garbage in it.  The correct text is there, but
there are additional scrambled characters directly below the text.  Even for
the blank spaces of the display!  Help!

No, the current versions of ZOC (3.x) support telnet directly, without need
for the Vmodem driver.
