Installation and Upgrades / another editor than Vi

« on: April 04, 2008, 03:13:14 am »

Hi

I have a quick question.

From the console on the box hosting ebox. Is there another editor available other than vi? Not being familar with vi and having to edit the fstab file was a bit of a challenge. So I am hoping there is another alternative.

Thanks in advance...

Installation and Upgrades / adding disk question

« on: March 30, 2008, 12:05:57 am »

Hi everyone,

I have a disk related question. I have read some of the posts on this forum and have been able to add a second disk to my system via editing the fstab file.

I used the following.. /dev/hdb1 /usr/local etc... which upon reboot presents the second disk on my system via the web intereface.

My question is how do I go about sharing this disk from Samba. I have tried to use the fstab file to map the disk to the /home/samba mount point with little luck.

Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Thanks again...

Andrew

Installation and Upgrades / file sharing question

« on: March 29, 2008, 11:54:32 pm »

Hi,
I recently installed the ebox OS on what I hope to be my new home server.

The installation went well, but I have a questions regarding file sharing aka samba. I have created the ebox server to act as a PDC and have create shares with no problem.

I can access those shares from my Win XP PC. However when creating files and folders on the server using my XP machine, I notice that I have to manually refresh the dialog box in order to see my changes to the folder/share on the server.

Does anyone know how I can address this?

Thanks in advance..

Andrew
