Name instead of IP for SAMBA shares

[brunogts77]

Hi, it?s possible to configure samba in order to see the all shared devices on the network by name and not by your ip?

[DEUS]

Ok found it by myself, this might be possible by get hostname via arp or lookup and then use it instead of IP. But you need to modify initi script. Normally nmbd is used to get hostname front wins

[brunogts77]

Can you help me to modify the init script?

[DEUS]

to get the right hostname if nmblookup is there modification should be easy

Code: Select all

$DISTROOT/usr/bin/nmblookup -A "IP" | /bin/busybox awk 'NR==2 { print $1}'

Thanks Deus. But, where do I put this "$DISTROOT/usr/bin/nmblookup -A "IP" | /bin/busybox awk 'NR==2 { print $1}" Code?

This is my smb fille:

Anny help?? Where do I put this "$DISTROOT/usr/bin/nmblookup -A "IP" | /bin/busybox awk 'NR==2 { print $1}" Code?

[DEUS]

first you are just requesting help so be patient, did you tried it by yourself? no success?
original line

Code: Select all

M_POINT="$DEST_DIR/$1/$(echo -n $i | sed -e "s/\\\$/_/g")"

for name resolution via wins

Code: Select all

M_POINT="$DEST_DIR/$($DISTROOT/usr/bin/nmblookup -A "$1" | /bin/busybox awk 'NR==2 { print $1}')/$(echo -n $i | sed -e "s/\\\$/_/g")"

for name resolution via dns

Code: Select all

M_POINT="$DEST_DIR/$($SYSROOT/bin/busybox nslookup "$1" | /bin/busybox awk 'NR==5 { print $4}' | /bin/busybox awk -F '.' '{ print $1}')/$(echo -n $i | sed -e "s/\\\$/_/g")"

maybe you see how easy this could be just did a quick test and works in my enviorment

[brunogts77]

Thanks Deus. It works fine! Very, very, very thanks.

Can this be included in the extensions pack? It seems to be VERY useful step towards average users.
