This problem began a couple months ago with my new install of (you guessed it) XP sp2. Now, when i mount a share from the xp machine to my debian box, everyone, including rot, gets a permission denied trying to ls the dir. I've read posts about switching to cifs, but that has opened a whole new can of worms. I'd just like to see smbfs mount my shares properly the way they used to. My version of samba is 3.0.7-1 according to dpkg on debian unstable. the mount command is mount -t smbfs -o credentials=cred.file,netbiosname=intruder,workgroup=workgroup,ip=111.111.111.111 //host/share /path/to/mount/dir I've done lots of look ups on google regarding many combinations of xp smbfs and the problems encountered to no avail. I'm at wits end and don't know what else to do. Sincerely, Jason
I am having a similar problem on a Domain. The problem only seems to be when mounting a share located on a Windows 2003 server. My problem is this: I run the mount command. It completes without error. However, the mount path disappears. In your example, /path/to/mount/dir would be mounted, but the "dir" would disappear from view. If I open a terminal, SU, and then ls -la /path/to/mount It will not show anything at all. If I run unmount the share, the folder reappears. This used to work on an older version of Samba.. like 2.28 or early 3. Now I am running 3.0.7-2 on Mandrake 10.1. The stranger part is, I can "preview" the contents with SMB4K or LAN:// but once it is mounted.... -----Original Message----- From: samba-bounces+cculver=sussex.tec.nj.us@lists.samba.org [mailto:samba-bounces+cculver=sussex.tec.nj.us@lists.samba.org] On Behalf Of Jason Pirok Sent: Wednesday, October 13, 2004 2:03 PM To: samba@lists.samba.org Subject: [Samba] smbfs mount issues This problem began a couple months ago with my new install of (you guessed it) XP sp2.
