1 What is Samba?

Samba is a linux implementation of file share and transaction protocol for LAN, which mainly used in Windows OS. Samba is more convenient than FTP in my opinion, and it is useful in a small group who works in a same LAN, but its members are familiar with different OS, Bob works in Mac, David works in Ubuntu, while Mars likes Windows more.

This tutorial is a step to step document of how to build a Samba Server which met the following requirement:
  1. Share a Directory with both readable and writable authority for Guest.
  2. Share a Directory with both readable and writable authority for certain Users.
  3. Share a Directory with only readable authority for Guest.

3 Prepare

addgroup smbgrp
adduser abc smbgrp
smbpasswd -a abc

mkdir /xxx/path
chown -R abc:smbgrp /xxx/path

mkdir /xxx/public
chown -R nobody:nogroup /xxx/public

4 configure /etc/samba/smb.conf

# writable for user:smbgrp 
[private]
  comment = what ever you wanna say
  path = /xxx/path
  valid users = @smbgrp
  browsable = yes
  guest ok = no
  read only = no
  create mask = 0755

# only readable for guest
[share]
  comment = what ever you wanna say
  path = /xxx/path
  browsable = yes
  guest ok = yes
  read only = yes

# writable for guest, dir permission = nobody:nogroup
[public]
  comment = what ever you wanna say
  path = /xxx/public
  browsable = yes
  guest ok = yes
  read only = no
  create mask = 0755




Restart the Samba server after that.

Bluez  Porting guide of Bluedroid stack       1  Bluetooth stack in android   From Android 4.2, google use Bluedroid stack as its default Bluetooth host stack, before android 4.2, its default Bluetooth host stack was Bluez, which is also the Linux distribution's default stack. So why google changed its Bluetooth stack? The reason is maybe that Bluez stack was designed for the desktop environment, so in order to port Bluez into android, android must solve some dependency issues, like porting Dbus, Linux desktop's default IPC, into android. So there are at least five processes to power Bluetooth before android 4.2, they are systems, Bluetooth APP, Bluez, hciattach, and Dbus. The damn thing is that there are bugs between them, so Bluetooth stack is the weakest part in the android system before android 4.2, yeah, it is the usual reason that android system corrupted.   So, what's t

NAT stands for Network Address Transition, which is the basic function of gateway host. I try to hack Bluetooth tethering module in android this week, it include the Bluetooth Pan profile and the NAT setup process, which means in order to implement the Bluetooth tethering, first, two devices must be connected by Bluetooth Pan profile, and then the server part device acted as gateway host to supply the network forward service.   In other words, after Bluetooth Pan profile connected, the server must to setup its NAT rules to forward the IP packages. So how to setup NAT rules?     2  How to setup NAT host?   My memory is still fresh that at the start of my Linux journey, I setup my Linux desktop as an NAT host to provide Internet services for my lab's classmates.

Network programming in elisp





















         Network API in elisp    Table of Contents    1 Introduction  2 A example  3 Http server implemented by elisp       1  Introduction   Emacs is not just an editor, Yes, that's true. Emacs lisp can do network connection programming by its network API. But there is something difference with other kinds of programming language.   First, elisp do not support multi-thread, pretty cool, huh!! Yeh, Multi-threads programming is a horrible venture for you, right!   Second, There is no socket similarly conception in elisp, and elisp provide network programming ability as processes.   Elisp can open a network connection by function – open-network-stream .   It can make network connection server listen a special port by function - make-network-process . Both of those function return a process object. Then you can communicate with the process by process's API.     2  A example   I write a snippet code to figure out How to use it.
