hi
I am having trouble determining a method for running the smbd/nmbd daemons automatically *without* having to logon to the system locally
I am using Tiger on a Mac mini and am trying to setup it up as an unattended server of sorts. But the Samba service does not seem to start up unless the system is logged on with an account locally
I have tried booting the system and then connecting in via SSH and starting the daemons up. While the processes do seem to be listed, Samba itself refuses to authenticate drive map requests correctly. As soon as I click on an account on the local console and login, it all just works without any other intervention
If I then logout of the system locally, the Samba stops functioning also
This seems to be unique to OS X as my FreeBSD and OpenBSD systems running Samba are mappable without being logged on with user accounts
Can anyone point me in the right direction at all please ? Am guessing something to do with the Launcher on OS X, but not sure how to modify/work around it to make the smbd/nmbd daemons just fire at bootup and sit there listening
I did try having a look at the apache daemon as this seems to work in the manner I would like Samba to, but I can't quite get Samba to work in the same way
Thanks
