Currently the page says:
Well, it doesn't say that anymore. :-)
Samba instructions have been, again, completely overhauled.
Thanks.
Here's the changes I made (as many as I remember, anyway):
1. Added a Samba-Client page to Chapter 18.
2. Updated the Samba server configuration section with Alex's
comments (hopefully, you don't mind some of the changes I made to
your text, Alex).
You only made it better. I will mark the bugs as "Verified" once the
page re-renders on www.linuxfromscratch.org.
3. Added XFS as an optional dependency.
For ACLs? I must admit that I have not tried XFS yet. Plain old ext3 is
good enough for me :)
4. Removed Stunnel as an optional dependency and placed a note to
install it in the SWAT configuration section.
5. Added an Stunnel-less SWAT setup section (Jim's comments)
Let Jim judge.
One more solution (not necessarily for the book) is to configure SWAT on
smbhost to listen on 127.0.0.1 only (via xinetd) and then use ssh to
securely forward the SWAT connection:
[EMAIL PROTECTED] ssh -L 901:127.0.0.1:901 -f -N smbhost
[EMAIL PROTECTED] konqueror http://127.0.0.1:901/
Or just don't run SWAT at all :)
6. Added creating the nobody user and nogroup group to the bootscript
installation section.
Technically, there's nothing wrong with creating this user for every
package that needs it as opposed to "Post LFS Configuration" - but let's
ask Bruce.
And after all that, hopefully DJ can still recognize something in
there that he actually wrote when he first put the instructions in
the book. :-)
