Hello All.

I have 2 Win 7 pro machines. I have 2 OS/2 machines. One of the Win 7 machines
can map and read/write to the OS/2 machines' drives with no problem. The other one can map and see the OS/2 machines' drives and can identify the type of drive format, be-it HPFS or JFS with no problem. However it cannot read or write from any of those drives on either OS/2 machine, saying that the "server cannot perform the requested command" or something real close to that.

NetBIOS over TCP/IP is enabled on both the Win7 machines. The file sharing settings are the same, yet that one machine simply can't access the mapped drives to read or write the contents.

Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated.

Best regards,
Marc

Do you use on the OS/2 machines the peer requester or smbfs?

If you use the peer requester, there is no chance to get win7 and OS/2 networking together. If you use smbfs, at one point, somewhere about 5 jears ago, a patch disabled the old ntlmv1 features with win7. you have to enable them manually, but you also have to disable the password encryption of win7 netbios stack. But, if you update your win7 computers, all settings will deleted again.

Ahm, I'm described the problem already in os2.ger. Maybe I find the patch and the reg-cmds for win7.

But, it is more comftable and safe to get rid of peer requester and the old smbfs system of OS/2. Just deinstall the stuff, get the samba4 fileserver from netlabs. Be sure to fetch and install samba4. samba3 isn't longer supportet with newer updates of win7.

To give a proper answer, I need some more information about your setting. ;-)

Anyway, it is a OS/2 problem, not a windows problem. ;-)
You get this problem as well, if you use linux above kernel 2.4.x and bsd above
version 7.x.x

Marc

You're absolutely correct. The Win 7 machine that could formerly read/write to the OS/2 machines can no longer do so after a bunch of updates that were installed yesterday.

I have twice-over installed the Samba suite on one machine but cannot run the configuration program due to an installer error. It reports back when trying to open it "Cannot load window: Could not find class 'VRTabbedDialog'." I'm afraid that I don't know enough to correct this issue. Can you help?

I have not attempted to install it on the second OS/2 machine until I can get it to work on this one. Hopefully either you or someone else will have some input on a solution.

I believe it would be better to continue this thread in the OS/2 Echo; I'm going to cross post it there.

Marc

Netdrive with the SMB plugin works great with Win 7 through 10 in
my experience.

In fact, I dug up my copy of Netdrive and updated it Saturday past. This has provided me with a workaround, and a darn good one at that. The system is slightly complicated with NewsGate running on a 32bit Windows 7 machine. What I did is move my outbound Fido mail and all the associated semaphore directories, etc. to my NFS. Now OS/2 can readily talk to it w/no problems. NewsGate on the W7 machine can also talk to the NFS by default AND it can, for some reason, write (but not read) to the toss directory on the OS/2 machine. This massive rearrangement of directory locations took a few hours to work out,
with LOTS of batch and .cmd file alterations to compensate for the new drive letter added. (Good old DOS GSAR (general search and replace) was a tremendous time saver, going into each and every .bat, .cmd and ,cfg file on the BBS and IRex machines.

Previously, NewsGate was running on a 32bit XP machine, but I was really concerned about its age and vulnerability to various and sundry attacks. The NewsGate batch file ran flawlessly on it... The very same batch file had to be fully altered to make every executable in the file have a fully qualified path,
as the .bat file running under a .PIF simply would not inherit the system path properly. Once each and every call to an executable was written out with its full path the system functioned properly.

All well and good now! Yay!

Marc

Sean, I too would like to do an upgrade, but I question what will happen to my present set-up when I start the upgrade. Will the new ArcaOS preserve my old directory structure etc.? Never have gotten a clear answer as to what happens during the new OS install process.

ArcaOS does have the current OS/2 smp kernel 4.52. A update is not possible, because most of the programms are using the unixroot environment. Ecomstation had an option to use the unixenvironment, but arcaos does need this.

Well, there is no need to update, because arcaos does use the same smp-kernal than ecomstation 2 does. If you adopt your unixenvironment, and install all the
stuff from rpm.netlabs.org you've got the same programs running.

Just to explain, a UnixEnvironment is defined by some rexx scripts. To find you
what you need, just take a look inside the rpm from netlabs.org. Hint: 7zip does extract these rpm's like a charm.

On my Ecomstation 2.1 I've got several unixroot-environments. Some for mozilla,
some for gcc3, gcc4, gcc6 and also gcc8.1.0. Because of this, I can compile most of the unix-programms for os/2. Like I did with grep/sed/wget and so on.

I would only update to ArcaOS immediately if they adopt/port a tcp/ipv6 stack. All other stuff from then is available on netlabs or github. (If you are able to compile these programms of your own, like I do.)

Best regards,
Marc

ArcaOS will completely wipe the partition it installs in. There is no upgrade process.

I know. The Filelocks-processes aren't fully ported to emx. It is quite hard to

Currently I try to adopt some commands posix-like of the os2-toolkit-45.
But it's getting very slowly, because nearly everything has to be redefined. There is a posix-toolkit for emx, but it's very old and has got an very old posix-standart. Also I'm not sponsored by someone, so I have to code during my free time after work. ;-) Same with smapinntpd, I got there the same trouble.

Shure. smbfs is a standart. If you only want to have a mount point (share) as client on your OS/2 machine, it is very common to use ndfs whith smbfs plugin. Ndfs works like a charm as a smb-client. Both is freely available. Take look at
hobbes or netlabs.

Ads on: Maybe you want to frequest, all of the os2 stuff is frequestable here :Ads off

If you want a proper smb-server an your OS/2 machine, get one ov the samba packs, and install them. But, as Tommi already said, some of smbd/nmbd are bugy
and tend to produce traps.

Thanks. What I am mainly interested in would be a way to allow my linux
server to access the OS/2 Warp 4 box so that it can do a full backup of the OS/2 system on a specified interval without having to reboot the OS/2 system into a linux partition.

My German translation of the comments is probably not great, so this

independently and the OS/2 cmd script opens the channel for the connection
but does not cause the BSD script to run?

I assume the BSD script runs an rsync client?

This is great! :)

I have no rsync daemon installed in OS/2, I'm just running the rsync client from OS/2 batch file:

for %a in ( c d e f g ) (
rsync.exe -a --delete %a%:\ wat.localnet::backup\rbb\%a%

Common practice to backup in the BSD-World.

I have no rsync daemon installed in OS/2, I'm just running the rsync

client

from OS/2 batch file:

that what i did, too... threw everything over onto my linux box that has a much
larger drive in it...

i used a script file like this which i fired off as

shadowsync c d e f g h

yes, it is very much based on 4DOS/4OS2 scripting features... full logging of the script and rsync's actions with the logs split between each drive specified
on the command line... logs are rotated backing up the last 9 to the logs/ directory... the latest log is in the same directory where the script is located... yes, all output is TEE'd so you can see it while it runs and is logged...

yes, i also broke a cardinal rule by having the password and exclusion files in
my rsync bin/ directory... it was just easier that way...the .pass file contains just the password used by the script for that one remote machine... each of the exclusion files are one directory, filename, or wildcard filename per line... if you need different passwords for different remote rsync servers,
just copy the script to a new name and create the needed matching .pass and .exclude_* files... matching being to the script's name, of course...

example exclude file: shadowsync.exclude_c
/DMISL/
/SWAP/*.4SW
/SWAPPER.DAT
LOG0001.DAT

Of course. :) Somehow I like to do it that way.

of course i do... so what? it is not easily transferrable to other OSes but any
OS that uses 4DOS and its derivitives can easily use the posted script... besides that, 4DOS scripting is much easier to understand and read... REXX always strikes me as like RPN :shrug:

Yep. I never learned REXX, because I wrote all my .BATs with 4DOS, and then with 4OS2 and 4NT/TCC.

yep! i learned enough of REXX to have some scripts that created launch icons for my bbs nodes... by creating them procedurally, i knew their name and so could trigger them procedurally as well... or just click on them... i had something for the mail tossing routine such that when it was running, a mailbox
with mail in it was displayed... when it was not running, the mail box icon was
invisible... it was pretty neat when i first did it... later, i removed it and just let the process run without trying to trigger the icon to show...
