samba - May 2007 - Trying to mount a Linux share on Windows

Hi,

I am trying to mount a Linux directory onto the Windows box.

The smb.conf file looks like this:

Load smb config files from /etc/samba/smb.conf
Processing section "[homes]"
Processing section "[profiles]"
Processing section "[users]"
Processing section "[groups]"
Processing section "[winshare]"
Loaded services file OK.
WARNING: passdb expand explicit = yes is deprecated

[global]
        workgroup = OVE.LOCAL
        map to guest = Bad User
        valid users = root, linuxbak, amandabackup
        force user = amandabackup

[homes]
        comment = Home Directories
        valid users = %S, %D%w%S
        read only = No
        inherit acls = Yes

[profiles]
        comment = Network Profiles Service
        path = %H
        read only = No
        create mask = 0600
        directory mask = 0700
        store dos attributes = Yes

        comment = All users
        path = /home
        read only = No
        inherit acls = Yes

[groups]
        comment = All groups
        path = /home/groups
        read only = No
        inherit acls = Yes

[winshare]
        comment = Share for the Windows server ove-dc3bkup01
        path = /media/winshare

        create mask = 0600
        directory mask = 0700
        inherit acls = Yes 

Also, can't seem to see the share below
AmandaBackup:/media # smbclient -L 10.80.101.15 -U linuxbak

While mounting it,

//10.80.101.15/LinuxBak
-bash: !,uid=amandabackup,gid=disk: event not found
AmandaBackup:~ # mount -t smbfs -o username=linuxbak /media/winshare/

Could not resolve mount point //10.80.101.15/LinuxBak
AmandaBackup:~ # mount -t smbfs -o username=linuxbak
10.90.219.64:/media/winshare/ 10.80.101.15:/LinuxBak  
Could not resolve mount point 10.80.101.15:/LinuxBak

I think this is not possible, you can't mount a ntfs partition of a 
Windows box from linux

Am I right?

You could probably make it work, but that would be insane.   Read the
documentation on ntfs-3g.
