Hi James,
we use some NFS mounted shares on our Linux-SCO-network. Samba runs on the
linux box. The linux server mounts some NFS shares from the SCO server. The
access error should not be a samba failure. Make sure that the directory
above the mountpoint is accessable for user nobody (chmod o+x , if you
upgrade to samba > 1.9.18p7 make sure that there is read permission on the
directories too: o+rx). Then make the mountpoint(s) themself accessable for
the user(s) or/and group(s) which want to access the NFS shares. There are
two ways to do this:
1) modify your export file to allow the apropriate users/groups accessing
the share (consult your man pages for the exact format of your fstab). I
don't know, if the (numeric) uid/gid on both machines must be equal.
2) create on both machines (NFS server and client) users with equal (names)
and userids and make the mountpoint (client) and the served directory
(server) accessable for this user. Or use one user/group and set the "force
user"/"force group" in smb.conf to this user.
I intend you to upgrade to samba-1.9.18p10 and using SECURITY=USER and
encrypted passwords. It functions great. You only have to create the
smbpasswd file as an additional step. Starting with this NT wont ask you to
type your password every time you connect the first to a share.
