Installing the Developer CD

I installed the Developer CD to develop program for my NeXTstation . I was a bit confused by the content of the CD and opted to install the four packages in the folder NextCD/Packages/:

  • DeveloperDoc.pkg;
  • DeveloperLibs.pkg;
  • DeveloperTools.pkg;
  • GNUSource.pkg.

As usual, running the Installer as root, it took a while but the process went smoothly. I also installed the patch from NSOSY2K.iso called NS33DevelopmentPatch2.tar.

 

Connecting to a Server via Samba

The NeXT client for Samba is called Rumba and is available online but with some difficulties! The archive is named rumba.0.4.NI.b.tar.gz. Because of its age, Rumba doesn't play well with modern Samba servers. The trick to make it work with a modern Samba server is to use the guest mode.

 

global
    # Definition of the server
    server role  = standalone server
    workgroup    = GIB
    dos charset  = CP850
    unix charset = UTF-8

    # Security settings of the server
    # For Amiga SMBFS clients:
    ntlm auth     = ntlmv1-permitted
    # For NeXT Station client:
    # (In short, the authentication with "rumba" always fails,
    # the "bad user" is logged in as "smbuser" to access shares.
    map to guest  = bad user
    guest account = smbuser

Music
    path           = /media/WWW/Music
    writeable      = yes
    create mask    = 0777
    directory mask = 0777

MusicRO
    # Needed for the NeXT Station
    guest ok       = yes
    writeable      = no
    path           = /media/WWW/Music
