Distributed File Server SMB SUPPORT

DFS SMB support provides a server that makes the HFS file available to SMB clients. Server Message Block (SMB) is a protocol for remote file/print access used by Windows and OS/2 clients.

To use SMB support

  1. Enter:
    FAC(USERXX=NAME=DFS)
    FAC(DFS=PGM=DFSCNTL)
    FAC(DFS=NOTSOC,RES,NOIJU,AUTHINIT)
    

    A facility for DFS in the TSS control file is defined.

  2. Enter:
    TSS CRE(DFS) TYPE(USER)
                 NAME(‘DFS REGION ACID’)
                 FAC(BATCH,STC)
                 PASS(XXXX,0)
                 MASTFAC(DFS)
                 NORESCHK
                 NODSNCHK
    
    TSS ADD(DFS) UID(0) 
                 HOME(/opt/dfslocal/home/dfscntl)
                 DFLTGRP(DFSGRP) 
                 GROUP(DFSGRP)
    

    The region ACID for DFS is created and an OMVS segment added.

  3. Enter:
    TSS ADD(STC) PROCN(DFS procname)
                 ACID(DFS)
    

    The DFS procedure is defined to CA Top Secret.

  4. Enter:
    TSS ADD(STC) PROCN(DFS kern procname)
                 ACID(DFS)
    

    The DFSKERN procedure is define to CA Top Secret.
