Paul O’Brien, founder of modaco, has created a custom kernel with CIFS/SAMBA support, USB drive and keyboard / mouse support for Galaxy Nexus smartphone running Android 4.0 (ICS). This is a temporary download until MCR (MoDaCo Custom ROM) is released. This should be flashed via ‘fastboot flash boot boot.mck.img’ to a device with an unlocked bootloader. This is designed for devices running the I9250XXKK1 / ITL41D (android-4.0.1_r1) ROM.

You may want to install Samba/CIFS in a Linux host to share files with other Windows computer or to use as a media server with a networked media player. If samba is missing, install it in the host machine (foomachine):

sudo yum install samba

1	sudo yum install samba

Create a new smb user:

/sbin/smbpasswd -a foouser

1	/sbin/smbpasswd -a foouser

Start / check status / restart samba service:

/etc/rc.d/init.d/smb start / status / restart

1	/etc/rc.d/init.d/smb start / status / restart

To make samba service run automatically at startup:

/sbin/chkconfig smb on

1	/sbin/chkconfig smb on

Type \\foomachine\foouser in Windows Explorer and type the username foouser and the password to access your Linux files. To add other directories to share with samba, edit /etc/samba/smb.conf Resource: http://www.cpqlinux.com/samba.html Jean-Luc Aufranc (CNXSoft)Jean-Luc started CNX Software in 2010 as a part-time endeavor, before quitting his job as a software engineering manager, and starting to write daily news, and reviews full time later in 2011. www.cnx-software.com
