Ubuntu 12.04 – Setting up Samba (3.6.3)

Hello,

Today I decided to format my Home Server and when I setuped it I had a few problems.

"Failed to Retrieve Share List from Server" when I was trying to connect to my ubuntu 12.04 server. Inside the [global] section I add:

name resolve order = bcast host

I did this in my normal computer too. (I'm not exactly sure that this is needed I don't think so). Rebooted and it is working.

Inside my logs I was getting a lot of smb_panic():

[2013/03/07 22:13:43.607536, 0] lib/util.c:1122(smb_panic) smb_panic(): calling panic action [/usr/share/samba/panic-action 1928]

(Again, I'm not sure that this is totally and exclusive related to this problem, but it worth to say, so you could try it too.)

Other message that I was seeing when trying to smbclient -L SERVER was:

NT_STATUS_PIPE_BROKEN

If you want to see my full smb.conf file keep reading!

My configs file is a Shared folder which is read only, but anyone could read it (guest yes), and the other one is Writable, where anybody can write and read (without authentication). In other words, all my setup don't uses authentications, it is all done by guests users. This is particularly good in my case, because I can put some interesting files in Shared Folder and guarantee that nobody will screw everything and the Writable is good to add new files to the server or a "temporary backup folder".

If I remember anything else, I will let you guys know.

Thanks,
Matheus

Torrent Client in linux server with web access

Hello

Why to create a server with a torrent client with web access? I live with other people that uses torrent too. I had a computer running a server with other services, so I decided to add this client (transmission-daemon) with web access, in this way we don't need to let computers on. Just this one. Everybody have web access to it and it is so simple to use.

But wich client to use? I searched a little bit and found that exists some famous ones as w3btorrent and torrentflux. but they need a web-server running like apache. And I don't want to setup it too, because I don't need it. So I choosed transmission the native torrent client in Ubuntu.

So, to install it in Ubuntu server you use:

$ sudo apt-get install transmission-daemon

Now you need to setup it, my configuration file was in /home/user/.config/transmission-daemon/settings.json

The options are a lot but it is easy to understand them.
