Newbie: how to setup network file shares (SMB)?

Software

In case you need a platform-independent solution, try sshfs.

I’m actually not sure. I believe it was registering the user password in HaikĂș.
I also updated the system and restarted.
So it worked.

Maybe Haiku support for newer SMB would be something suitable for a GSoC?

The gsoc page can be edited on github, you can submit a PR to add this idea if it isn’t there already

samba4 is already in the depot, I added an update to the work done by @extrowerk, had the recipe disabled at first but on an update at haikuports it was enabled, this hasn’t been tested enough though, and haiku_fusemb needs a rebuild against the newer samba to link to it.
Had it setup but didn’t get as far as actually mounting a share on the network (haven’t tried that hard too though :rofl: )

Seems it is 
 however as it created as a samba4 package 
 it conflicts with existing samba package and packages which requires the existing samba package

~> pkgman install samba4

The existing samba package should be upgraded with new version - that would be a better option after tests.

You can’t have both versions installed at the same time, hence the conflict. :slight_smile:
And indeed, this newer version hasn’t been tested and won’t be the default without thorough testing.

How can we help testing? Any certain procedures?

Haven’t touched it in a while, only thing I checked back then was looking if the binaries in the package didn’t fail to execute. For one fusesmb_haiku needs a rebuild with samba4 if you intend to check it out.
On the procedure, I guess it would/should do the trick as it is done with current samba?
