Snap-in MSI with multiple files

[Wayne Workman]

I could cover how to make a samba share…

on CentOS 7 and Fedora, the process is identical, just depending on how much security you want.

yum install samba samba-client -y (or dnf for fedora 22 and newer).

Start samba:
systemctl start smb (status and restart also available).

Make your share:
mkdir /smallshare

make a user for it:

useradd smalluser
passwd smalluser

Set samba password for the user “small user”:

smbpasswd -a smalluser

Set permissions on the local directory:
chown smalluser:smalluser /smallshare
chmod 770 /smallshare

Setup the samba configuration script:
vi /etc/samba/smb.conf

Things above [smallshare] are global and apply to all shares. Then below each bracket name, is settings specific to the share.

security = user
passdb backend = tdbsam
unix charset = utf-8
dos charset = cp932

[smallshare]
path = /smallshare
read only = no
create mode = 0777
directory mode = 0777
writable = yes
valid users = smalluser

Then restart samba:
systemctl restart smb

And you’re done.

Of course you can get a lot more advanced, but this is just a basic password protected share.

This post is deleted!

Well - I did have some stuff to add to this, but whatever forum software this is doesn’t seem to like code blocks with powershell with param or typecasting in it

[Wayne Workman]

@Mentaloid I can see the deleted post. It looks fine to me. What’s wrong, exactly?

[Mentaloid]

@Wayne-Workman
There’s a ton of missing code in the first code block, and strings seem to be substituted in several places. If I edit the post, it all seems right in the preview, but the actual post is messed up.

it seems it’s not restricted to code blocks either - I just tried quoting here. I’ll send you a file if I can as an example of what’s messed up?

[Wayne Workman]

@Mentaloid I tried messing with it for a while, it’s the tilde characters messing it up.

You can create a .txt file and upload that if you want.

@Developers this would be a good example of a “forums issues”.

@Wayne-Workman

Tilde? like ~ chars? or the backticks like `?

My experiment seem to show using things like
param (
[string]$url = “.”
[string]$exec = “”
)
is messed up as well (Wayne, not the missing line and square brackets if you edit directly)

[Wayne Workman]

@Mentaloid The key to the left of the 1 key seems to be doing it. I don’t know what to say about it. It’s a NodeBB issue for sure. Seems we need better escaping.

I added the samba stuff to the wiki here, made some fog-specific changes so it’s “ours” and “belonging” and all that good stuff.

@adukes40 I haven’t watched the Q&A yet, but when I saw Smart Notebook in the post, I wanted to share the way I incorporate it into an image. I haven’t experimented with doing a snapin (though since updates for Smart Notebook are regular it would make sense), rather, I install it within an image. Once I deploy this Smart Notebook image, it tells me the license is expired, but with a couple of clicks (manage license>repair license online automatically) it’s good. I guess if you have many different images that need Smart Notebook, the snapin method would be best, but on a universal image (we have a generic smartboard image), I feel like it may be simpler to use my method and update it then re-upload as needed for new versions. We do it that way periodically for not only Smart updates, but other applications and windows updates. I can post screens on Tuesday of the simple license repair for Smart Notebook embedded images if anybody is interested.

I digress, this may have already been discussed and this thread is about a more in general snapin question, so I apologize for getting off topic.

[Wayne Workman]

Personally, I install smart notebook on every image. Then I leave a copy of the installer on the C:\ drive for actual smartboards. We just run the installer and choose “Smartboard Drivers” so it works with the smartboard.
