samba - Mar 2001 - 1919251317

Hi,

I am using linux 2.4.2 with smb 2.0.7.5.  Since a few days, my smbmount
of NT 2000 or W98 are refused with a message:
mount_data version 1919251317 is not supported

A few searches showed only an old message of  mid-summer last year.  Why
is it showing up now and how can I get my mounts back?

Thanks,

Yves

Oh, magic numbers ...


I believe this is because you are missing mount.smbfs (or have it in
the wrong place) and mount with 'mount -t smbfs ...'

/sbin/mount.smbfs should point to the smbmount executable, and there
should be a smbmnt from the right version in the path. If it can't find
the helper program mount will do the mount syscall directly and that won't
work.


At least this is what happened to the previous person to report this
message, and I can turn it on or off by doing the following:

# mv /sbin/mount.smbfs /sbin/mount.smbfs.NOT
# mv /sbin/mount.smbfs.NOT /sbin/mount.smbfs
