Hi, I just installed CIFS support on my machines and must say it works much better than smbfs. special characters alright, transfer speed doubled (from 2.8MB/s to 5.6MB/s on 100MBit). There's two issues tho I haven't been able to root out: -credentials file: tried username=<username> and password=<password> in /etc/credfile, tried user=<username> to match the

Hi all, My old and stable backup script don't work anymore. It's based on smbclient's tar command using crX parameters for creating archive, excluding files based on basic regular expressions. The box is running Fedora core 2, fully updated: kernel-2.6.8-1.521 samba-common-3.0.7-2.FC2 samba-client-3.0.7-2.FC2 The error is easily reproducible: smbclient //ntpdc/share -A credfile \ -c

Hi, I'm trying to create a map of DFS links to actual server/share's.? I know that you can get this information by logging on to the DFS root server, but I'm trying to use the libsmbclient API to get this information. I have created a fairly simple DFS structure on 2003 servers with everything on the same domain. //MyDomain/DFSRoot /Link1 -> //Fileserv-1/FileShare1

...wn and startup situation. If we persistently try and force the server to mount the share it will eventually connect to the second server ... this is time consuming and annoying. Here is an example from '/etc/fstab' file : //our.domain.com/PATH/TO/SHARE /target cifs credentials=/etc/samba/credfiles/credentials,uid=user,gid=group,_netdev 0 0 Servers Vary between RHEL 6 / 7 and SLES12. We patch quarterly so various software packages are never that out of date. Can anyone provide some assistance in this matter ? Much appreciated. Regards Shaun

I have many shares in my fstab which look just like so... //machinename/sharename /mnt/foo smbfs credentials=credfile,rw,user,gid=sambawrites,fmask=0774,dmask=0774 0 0 And they work generally fine. But sometimes weird things happen, i.e. the power goes out, and the linux server comes up before the machines with the shares do, or one of the machines with the shares gets turned off for a couple
