Hi, I have samba 2.0.3 running on my SGI IRIX 6.4 box. So far everything seems to work fine with the following exception. When I run smbsh. I think somehow the program thinks that it is operating on the system root directory (/), not the /smb/host/... Here are a few symptoms: I start smbsh (in tcsh), it first gives an error rightaway: ERROR: can't get smbw shared lock (Bad file number) (By the way this error does NOT appear when I use bash). Then it lets me cd to /smb/host/files... For example, I can use more CONFIG.SYS and it prints it on the screen, or vi or emacs on the file, and can save to this location through the file editors. BUT if I say 'cat CONFIG.SYS' or 'cp CONFIG.SYS ...' next it will say UX:cat: ERROR: Cannot open CONFIG.SYS: No such file or directory Another example: I start smbsh as a user and try to copy a unix box file to the /smb/host sub directory, it would complain permission problem. But when I start smbsh as root it would not. But it copies the unix box file to / (that's why the permission problem, I guess)! Can anyone shed some light on all this? -- Lei Wang ---------------------------------------------------------------------- Research Associate Department of Psychiatry, Campus Box 8134 Renard Hospital, Room 5508 Washington University School of Medicine Tel: 314-362-2417 4940 Children's Place Fax: 314-362-2099 St. Louis, MO 63110 Em: lei@klebit.wustl.edu URL: http://cis.jhu.edu/~lei/ ----------------------------------------------------------------------
