Hi, I'm running Linux 2.2.2 w/ Samba 2.0.2, using the smbmount that comes with Samba 2.0.2. I noticed that when I mount shares, smbmount sticks around, almost like a daemon: [root@jason /root]# smbmount //XXXX.gatech.edu/XXXX$ "XXXXXX" -U jkau -c "mount /mnt/cnd" < /dev/null > /tmp/smbmount.out [root@jason /root]# ps ax | grep smbmount 10678 ? S 0:00 /usr/bin/smbmount //XXXX.gatech.edu/XXXX$ XXXXXX [root@jason /root]# This isn't how smbmount used to behave. Is it supposed to stick around like this? This occurs regardless of the type of share I'm mounting (occurs with both WinNT shares and Samba shares). Thanks for your help. jason kau jason.kau@btc.gatech.edu

I didn't see any reference to this in the archives, please point me to the right documentation if I've missed something. I'm using samba to mount Linux (Redhat 6.1 i386 2.2.12-20) filesystems on my NT (4, SP6) box and it works fine. However (you knew there was a however), when I mount an NT share onto my Linux box (same two machines) with smbmount, the mount will 'go away' after about 15 minutes (maybe it's a certain amount of idle time). All I get is "input/output error" when I do a 'df' or 'ls'. Unmounting and remounting will give me another time slice to do some work. Any ideas? Is the Linux box closing the connection or is the NT box? Logs on both sides of the connection don't show anything.

I am using SMBMOUNT to mount an NT share. I have set up an init script, so that my linux boxes will mount the share on boot, however, I havent been able to pass a password to SMBOMOUNT, so essentailly the script just hangs. Any suggestions? ____________________ Jonah Wolf CTNY, LLC 212.625.6206 Digital Revolutionaries: www.ctny.com <http://www.ctny.com>
I'd like to mount windows shares at boot with r/w privs for a specific user. Currently, it defaults to root. How can I accomplish this? Thanks, Jeff Elkins

I'm on a Redhat 7.1, Samba 2.2.3a server in a share called Public. I'm
logged into the server as root, from the console and have cd'd to the Public
directory.
I'm trying to use smbmount to mount an NT share from a WinNT Server 4.0,
SP3. The share on that server is called "manage." The IP of the NT
server is 192.168.204.100. The Samba server is on a different network at
210.111.222.123. There is a directory named "Man" that will be used
as the mount point on the samba server.
I issue the command:
smbmount //210.111.222.123/manage Man then press the Enter key.
password: I enter the password then press the Enter key.
I now get 2 error messages on the console:
955: session request to 210.111.222.123 failed (Called name not present).
955: session request to 210 failed (Called name not present).
When I inspect the Man directory, all the appropriate files and directories are
there. I see them with Network Neighborhood and with Windows Explorer.
Does smbmount really do what I'm expecting it to do with a shared NT
directory & files or is the above responses normal? Is there something else
to do???
Thanks in advance,

Thanks for the reply. One of the Samba servers is also acting as WINS. I've set up the NT system with the WINS info but have to wait until the end of the day to boot it for the WINS setup to take effect. Will let you know the results. Thanks, Marion D.

My home system has two subnets. If I try to smbclient -L a server (XP) on a different subnet, using smbclient -L 192.168.1.9 I get the following error: INFO: Debug class all level = 3 (pid 24708 from pid 24708) added interface ip=192.168.0.2 bcast=192.168.0.255 nmask=255.255.255.0 session request to 192.168.1.9 failed (Called name not present) session request to 192 failed (Called name not present) However, the shares are all listed and things seem to be normal. If I use the server winsbios name (which is the same as the dsn name) smbclient -L elsa, I get the shares listed without any error messages. This only occurs when I try to smbclient -L to a different subnet. So, what happens when you try the NT server winsbios name, instead of the server IP address, assuming you have got a winserver and your linux box knows about it with the wins server parameter in smb.conf?

Thanks for the reply. I'm setting up the NT box with WINS but will have to wait until after business hours to reboot it. The NT and WINS servers (one of my Samba servers) are on different networks.

You shouldn't have to, but you may need to specify the netbios name of the NT box and give the ip number as a separate option. smbmount //ntname/manage /mnt/Man -o ip=192.168.204.100 This of course assumes that you have network connectivity from the linux box to the NT box. Other potentially useful options are the workgroup option, the uid/gid and fmask/dmask options. Check the smbmount manpage. /Urban -- To unsubscribe from this list go to the following URL and read the instructions: http://lists.samba.org/mailman/listinfo/samba

It's the NT server that I have to reboot so it will know the IP of the WINS server. Marion D.

Hi all: My situation is as follows: RH 7.3 Linux box with Samba 2.2.4 installed from RPM. One windows 2k pro box. both on same subnet. I have a directory on the win2k box that I want to make available through Samba via smbmount. The problem comes when I actually do the mount. Mounting the win2k share on the Samba server changes the group ownership and the file permissions. It sets them to root.root when they were root.users before. I tried creating a low level username on the win2k box and passing that username and password on the command line via smbmount but to no avail. Has anyone seen this problem before and/or know what I'm doing wrong. And yes I know it would be easier to just move the share to the Linux box, but I'm almost out of local disk space and I can't add anymore right now... :( TIA James
Joel: My problem was solved after I did a search on the archive. I found a post from Urban widmark that addresses this issue as being related to a bad rpm package. When I placed a symbolic link to smbmnt in /usr/bin the following works as follows: mount -t smbfs //bb2/customers /mnt/customers -o username=linux,gid=users,fmask=770,dmask=770 Password: [root@george mnt]# ls -al total 24 drwxr-xr-x 6 root root 4096 Jun 25 16:20 . drwxr-xr-x 21 root root 4096 Jun 25 17:24 .. drwxr-xr-x 2 root root 4096 Jun 9 21:47 cdrom drwxrwx--- 1 root users 4096 Jun 25 18:32 customers drwxr-xr-x 2 root root 4096 Jun 9 21:47 floppy drwxr-xr-x 2 root root 4096 Jun 25 16:20 shipping Thus the directory is successfully mounted with the desired owner and group and file permissions. Thanks for your help and I hope this will help someone else. James ----- Original Message ----- From: "James W.

Hi, I seem to be missing something. I've got a remote server with a directory I need to share to my local (win98) machines. Due to some poor planning that server and my local machines are not on the same network. I bridged that gap with a linux server where I've dual homed that server and installed Samba. I used smbmount to mount the drive (passing -o username=,password=) to a point on my server (say /opt/hq). From the server I can then browse /opt/hq The way I'm doing it (which may be wrong) is I setup in my smb.conf a setting for hq and pointed it to /opt/hq Then I use my windows boxes (12 98 boxes, and 1 2K box) to connect to the //localservername/hq share thru samba, and that's where I get prompted for a password. No matter what password I put in, it's wrong. I get an error saying that username / password is invalid. Do I have this setup totally wrong? Thanks in advance. --John -- John Anderson Ceeva, Inc.
