SAMBA Setting -- Ubuntu 10.10

[2] https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Samba


INSTALL SAMBA IF NOT INSTALLED (Live Ubuntu CD doesn't install in default)
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
In order to apply patch file, set up Samba server for file exchange between Windows
and Ubuntu box.

quentin@ubuntu:~/lpc3250/ltib-qs$ sudo apt-get install samba-common-bin (has to be done to get samba work)
quentin@ubuntu:~/lpc3250/ltib-qs$ sudo apt-get install system-config-samba



ADD SAMBA PASSWORD PROTECTION FOR ONE USER IN CMD LINE
----------------------------------------------------------
sudo smbpasswd -a username

RESTART SAMBA SERVER IN UBUNTU
------------------------------
sudo restart smbd


MANUALLY ADD SHARE BY EDITING SMB.CONF
(if no luck to set it by using system-config-samba GUI)
--------------------------------------------------------------
(system-config-samba might issue warning on smb.conf syntax error but it won't affect the sharing of folders) See [2], another way to run Samba as service

Why is JSON so popular? Developers want out of the syntax business.

Java is expanding into a lot of areas.

ntpclient NTP used in Embedded Linux

[1] http://doolittle.icarus.com/ntpclient/README



ntpclient home page: http://doolittle.icarus.com/ntpclient/

Joachim Nilsson created a fork of ntpclient that he maintains at
http://vmlinux.org/jocke/ntpclient.shtml. We don't have the same
maintainance and build system sensibilities; some people may prefer his.
In particular, he has converted his ntpclient to daemon and syslog.
The basic functionality of the two versions should be identical.

Usage: ntpclient [options]
options:
-c count stop after count time measurements (default 0 means go forever)
-d print diagnostics (feature can be disabled at compile time)
-g goodness causes ntpclient to stop after getting a result more accurate
than goodness (microseconds, default 0 means go forever)
-h hostname (mandatory) NTP server, against which to measure system time
-i interval check time every interval seconds (default 600)
-l attempt to lock local clock to server using adjtimex(2)
-p port local NTP client UDP port (default 0 means "any available")
-q min_delay minimum packet delay for transaction (default 800 microseconds)
-r replay analysis code based on stdin
-s simple clock set (implies -c 1)
-t trust network and server, no RFC-4330 recommended cross-checks
