Re: Samba as alternative to NetServer - How to use USRPRF Password

Franz

It probably depends on the version of Win 10 - if it's available, it is free. One link I found said to go to Programs and Features, then click on the left-hand option to show Windows features. Then look for Services for NFS and click in the checkbox, then press OK.

that gets it all started for installation - then there is the matter of permissions, like should you allow anonymous, other things - you will likely want to set up by the UID/GID, I think it is, in the user profile on IBM i.

The link was found as title "How to set up a free NFS server on Windows 10"

We switched some applications to NFS because of multiple issues with
NetServer.

Instead of SAMBA have you considered NFS?  See the commands STRNFSSVR,
EXPORTFS.  If the IBM i was your client and not the server you'd be using
MOUNT instead of EXPORTFS.

Ps: they couldn't use EXPORT as binder language already consumed that
command.

Hi!

We are using IBM-i with NetServer for about 1.5 Years now.
Since the Beginning there where Problems with Access to Netserver over WAN
(IPSec Tunnel) .We had some Tickets with IBM and the made some PTFs to fix
various things. (MA47224, MA47302, Other Problems with Starting exe Files
where we received a Workaround wich shoots other thngs as we found out
now))

But after all we are not really satisfied with the compatibility of
NetServer with Windows-10.

First of all: I dont want to store my files outside of out AS400. I know
all alternatives and i dont need any suggestions or discussion on this ;-)

Whats the state now:

We are now considering using Samba on IBM-i but the problem i have is that
it has a seperate User Database which i really dont like.
Is someone of you using Samba on AS400 and how do you handle this problem.

I thought that when nothing other is possible i would register with
QIBM_QSY_VLD_PASSWRD and send new Passwords to a Job via DataQueue which
calls pdbedit to change the users in the samba-db. But this is not a nice
solution.

Any suggestions?

Greetings,
Franz
