This document is still a work in progress, as once the installation is complete you will have access to your Pre via your home network but it will disable audio i am still in the process of locating why this happens. But this is a great way to just drag and drop files from your Pre to your PC without having to load up a FTP client.

'''Note: Run this in developer mode at first, if you are not in developer mode this will not work properly.'''

Step 1: Login to your rooted Pre

Step 2: Remount your Pre with read/write permissions
<pre><nowiki>
sudo mount -o remount,rw /
</nowiki></pre>

Step 3: Install the needed components from ipkg-opt
<pre><nowiki>
sudo ipkg-opt update
sudo ipkg-opt install samba
</nowiki></pre>
^^The following packages are installed with Samba: '''popt, readline, openldap-libs, openssl, libdb, gdbm, cyrus-sasl-libs'''^^

Step 4: Create/Edit Samba's configuration file
<pre><nowiki>
sudo vi /opt/etc/samba/smb.conf
</nowiki></pre>

Step 5: Use the following configuration file.
<pre><nowiki>
#Samba 3.2.12-1 from ipkg
#configuration file for Palm Pre WebOS 1.0.3

[global]
workgroup = WORKGROUP
server string = PalmPre Samba
security = SHARE
smb passwd file = /opt/etc/samba/smbpasswd
encrypt passwords = yes
guest account = nobody
bind interfaces only = yes
config file = /opt/etc/samba/smb.conf
log file = /var/log/samba.%m
socket options = IPTOS_LOWDELAY TCP_NODELAY
interfaces = eth0, lo
debug level = 1
max log size = 10
load printers = no
domain master = no
local master = no
prefered master = no
domain logons = no
wins support = no
wins proxy = no
dns proxy = no

[tmp]
comment = Temporary File Space
path = /tmp
read only = yes
guest ok = yes
public = yes
create mask = 0744
available = yes
browseable = yes

[root]
comment = PalmPre Root Directory
path = /
read only = no
browseable = yes
guest ok = yes
</nowiki></pre>
^^This is a basic configuration file i used, and it works out quite well: also a side note, Nano is much easier to work with then Vi i would suggest grabbing that package as well^^

Step 6: Add you a user to the system for sharing purposes. (where username = your account name)
<pre><nowiki>
sudo /opt/bin/smbpasswd -a username
</nowiki></pre>

Step 7: Change the samba service to activate for testing.
<pre><nowiki>
sudo vi /opt/etc/init.d/S08samba
</nowiki></pre>

Change:
<pre><nowiki>

#!/bin/sh

# set samba_active=1 to activate samba
samba_active=0
</nowiki></pre>

To:
<pre><nowiki>
#!/bin/sh

# set samba_active=1 to activate samba
samba_active=1
</nowiki></pre>

Step 8: Test if Samba is functioning properly
<pre><nowiki>
sudo /opt/etc/init.d/S08samba
</nowiki></pre>

Step 9: set your system back to default read only state
<pre><nowiki>
sudo mount -o remount,ro /
</nowiki></pre>

------
Because i have not figured out why we lose audio when this is installed the following is not recommended.

UpStart for Samba.
<pre><nowiki>
description "Samba Daemon for WebOS"
version 1.0

# don't start until the WebOS finishes it's normal boot
# that way no delay is added to the GUI startup
start on stopped finish
stop on runlevel [!2]

# don't try to log any output
console none

# -D sets smbd & nmbd to act as a daemon
exec /opt/sbin/smbd -D
exec /opt/sbin/nmbd -D

pre-start script
# Add firewall rule to make sure we're not blocking anything
# This will only be available via eth0 (wifi)
/usr/sbin/iptables -I INPUT -i eth0 -p udp --dport 137 -j ACCEPT
/usr/sbin/iptables -I INPUT -i eth0 -p udp --dport 138 -j ACCEPT
/usr/sbin/iptables -I INPUT -i eth0 -p tcp --dport 139 -j ACCEPT
/usr/sbin/iptables -I INPUT -i eth0 -p tcp --dport 445 -j ACCEPT
end script
</nowiki></pre>
^^This has not been tested fully as with audio being out, i didn't bother to test it more but the samba portion works as intended^^

Credits go out to everyone who taught us how to root the pre's as well as the fine folks who got us optware-feeds!
