@mikec: the reason to use samba is to be able to share files with any windows machine without installing anything.

Just like I said here already

Re: Samba server for n900
 

The samba package looks promising, but is missing a dependency so I can't safely install it. Also I really don't want to install something like this from devel. Not yet anyway.
Suppose I'll have to wait a little more.

Re: Samba server for n900
 

You can use samba through chroot, and bind mounts. I use it that way.

Re: Samba server for n900
 

A slightly different approach would be to use Wizard Mounter to mount shared PC resources on the N900 and move the files that way..

I know it doesn't solve your editing issue, but it's something..

Re: Samba server for n900
 

tinysmb might be a solution, installing it now.

Re: Samba server for n900
 

tinysmb has worked nicely for me, it is useful for working around some of the problems of not getting Wizard Mounter functional at all.

For security, create a new share directory (MyShare or something) at the *same* level as MyDocs, because the default MyDocs share makes far too much available to machines logging on.

I have not been able to get the password function operating, either via user interface or by editing the config file. So it's necessary to tighten directory access, & start the server only when needed for file transfers, then stop it.

Re: Samba server for n900
 

Install samba and samba-common-bin in chroot debian, something like this
in a terminal as user (i use only lenny and backport-lenny)
$ debbie
$ sudo aptitude install samba-common-bin samba
$ sudo smbpasswd user
and give your w$ password ...
That's it !
Now, you can mount //n900IP/user from your PC (as user)
Each time you want to launch samba again (after shutdown the n900):
$ debbie sudo /etc/init.d/samba start
