This sounds interesting.  Have you tried a Snapshot Version of the cygwin1.dll
and libraries?  Perhaps the select problems has been fixed with them.  SET
CYGWIN=nontsec before starting bash if you have problems with file permissions
using the snapshots.

Hi,

I have been able to port Samba 2 to an NT box with this setup:
NT 4.0, cygwin Beta 20.1, gcc of this version of cygwin

Well, almost.There is a probleml with the select (cygwin) call in the
samba function sys_select. This select returns inmediately, with
errno=EBADF. This seems akward to me at this point of the server
process, it must be an indicator of a prior error. But the socket opens
correctly some source lines before, and is ready to listen (errno=0).

This prevents the smbd in NT from serving (does not detect the
connection from the client) and the smbclient in NT from receiving the
results of the commands it sends (it connects to a Linux box Samba,
sends commands but does not receive the returning packages).

If we overcome this, Samba will work on NT. I have done a research on
the legal/license implications of this, and look very interesting:
 * The legal limit of 10 connections to an NT workstation dissapear =>
NT server value for NT workstation price, legal.
 * No need for CAL (client access license) to connect to an NT box =>
legal non Win clients, and the NT Terminal server client implications
seem interesting too.

Can someone help withthe select problem?

TIA

Ivan & Ray

Please refresh my memory...

Why is it useful to port an incomplete Linux interface to a M$ Windows file/printer sharing protocol to an OS that has that built on top of that protocol to begin with?

Are we wanting to "dumb-down" NT file and printer sharing?!?! :)

I really would like to know if this is a exersize or simply not well thought out.

Regards,

W. Terry Lincoln

Hi,

I have been able to port Samba 2 to an NT box with this setup:
NT 4.0, cygwin Beta 20.1, gcc of this version of cygwin

Well, almost.There is a probleml with the select (cygwin) call in the
samba function sys_select. This select returns inmediately, with
errno=EBADF. This seems akward to me at this point of the server
process, it must be an indicator of a prior error. But the socket opens
correctly some source lines before, and is ready to listen (errno=0).

This prevents the smbd in NT from serving (does not detect the
connection from the client) and the smbclient in NT from receiving the
results of the commands it sends (it connects to a Linux box Samba,
sends commands but does not receive the returning packages).

If we overcome this, Samba will work on NT. I have done a research on
the legal/license implications of this, and look very interesting:
 * The legal limit of 10 connections to an NT workstation dissapear =>
NT server value for NT workstation price, legal.
 * No need for CAL (client access license) to connect to an NT box =>
legal non Win clients, and the NT Terminal server client implications
seem interesting too.

Can someone help withthe select problem?
