No shares found by samba-search on initial boot
however after having made a connection using the ip address and then dismounting and running samba-search again the share on the server name was detected.....

It sounds like your USB adapter needs some coaxing to wake up and reveal the Samba server to the network.
Try using the combo server name in samba-login as described in the Help.
This will force a network scan. If it finds the share, you won't need to give the desktop a static IP address.

That just gives a "No Connection to Puppy" message - no share found....

That's too bad. So the only reliable method is to use a static IP address as the server name.
I wonder if Pnethood is any better at finding the server.

Would have to try a different puppy - no pnethood any more in Slacko5.5....
Tried Precise5.5 - pnethood does not detect any share

Try installing it. It is more informative if you test on the same system.

Thank you for this pet rcrsn51. It is very useful.
I was having a problem with automount but it seems to have resolved itself after a few reboots.

I can never find any shares with YASSM...
Why do I get this error? I've got your packages installed, samba-tng, yassm, etc.. What else am I missing?!
Code: Select all
/usr/local/yassm/samba-search: line 103: nmblookup: command not found
From which (wary) pet package can i get this file any any other related files??

What Puppy are you using? Nmblookup has been included since 4.3.1 or earlier. However, it was sometimes located in /opt/samba/bin and that folder was added to the search path.

I'm using akita, which was turbopup back in the day, maybe that;s why it was missing... anyway, i added it, and yassm works fine... cheers.

HOw to use
/etc/init.d/rc.yassm ?
Code: Select all
case "$1" in
start)
;;
stop)
for M in $HOME/YASSM/*; do
umount-FULL $M > /dev/null 2>&1
rmdir $M > /dev/null 2>&1
done
;;
esac
IS it for shutdown script?
Also I was thinking would it be possible to add a button to samba-login that
puts info into samba-select.dat?

Hi,
I like to use Yassm : very easy to use and works fine.
Thank you rcrsn51.
But i would like to have a timeout after a share is not in use : is there an option for that ?
Thank you again,
Philippe

Please explain. Do you want the share to be automatically unmounted if it has not been used for a while? I think that would be too difficult to implement.

It's exactly what i'm looking for.
Autofs do it, but to be authenticate everything is clear in a file and yassm is a better way for that.

Sorry, but that is far too complicated for YASSM.

Thank you for your quick answer.
And "just" for a time out after the share is mount, is it possible ?

YASSM v2.7 has several important changes.
1. The program filenames samba-login, etc. are now yassm-login, etc. This is to avoid any confusion with other Samba tools.
2. The user configuration files have moved from /root/.config/yassm to /root/.yassm.
3. YASSM-search continues to identify shares by their server name. But now it sends the server's IP address to YASSM-login. This is a more reliable way to mount shares.
4. If you select a "hidden" share, the procedure is unchanged. Enter the username and password. Click the Shares button. Select a share. Enter any required options. Click Mount.
5. If you run YASSM-login as a separate tool, you can still use server names.
6. YASSM-select can use either server names or IP addresses. But the latter are preferred, provided that they are static.
7. Previous versions of YASSM-search had an option for scanning alternate subnets. This feature has been removed. If anyone still wants it, please post a request.

Nice tool. Only problem I am having is with "automount on boot" Your instructions state
4. Drag the file yassm-automount into your Startup folder.
I don't have a yassm-automount file in /usr/local/yassm but do have a samba-automount file. I've had a quick look at it and reckon its the same file. Is that correct?
On reboot my YASSM directory is on the desktop, clicking it I can see the Windows share I want to access but its empty.

See my post above yours. In v2.7, the program names have changed.

Automount uses the yassm-select database for its mounting information. Do you have your Windows share set up correctly in yassm-select?
