I compiled Samba 3.0.21b with options $: ./configure \ --with-smbmount \ --with-automount \ --sysconfdir=/etc \ --with-configdir=/etc \ --with-quotas \ --with-mysql-prefix=/usr/local/mysql \ --with-winbind \ --with-utmp \ --with-acl-support \ --with-aio-support \ --with-python=/usr/bin/python $: make && make install I found that smbmount hangs. It mounts fine, I can access the mounted drive, but it doesn't terminate. $: smbmount //192.168.0.10/c$ /W2K-C/ -o debug=4,ro,credentials=/etc/w2k opts: ro opts: credentials=/etc/w2k mount.smbfs started (version 3.0.21b) added interface ip=192.168.1.1 bcast=192.168.255.255 nmask=255.255.0.0 added interface ip=127.0.0.1 bcast=127.255.255.255 nmask=255.0.0.0 Connecting to 192.168.0.10 at port 445 6682: session request ok 6682: session setup ok 6682: tconx ok namecache_shutdown: Couldn't close namecache on top of gencache.
