similar to: Question about smbsh / smbfs / smbmount

In trying to install samba 2.0.6 on my mklinux system, I'm running into a lot of compiler messages about redifinitions while compiling any of the smbfs utils. The current state of mklinux is back several versions from the "regular" linux kernel, but is using glibc2.1. I understand smbsh is the preferred way to go instead of smbfs, but I also understand that smbsh is broken under

Hey, so i finally got it working thanks to your list (found the right place for EnablePlainTextPassword here, the existing 3-4 matches in the default registry don't seem to do a thing). It was all brilliant. I got connected to all my 4 samba servers. I was happy... 'til the next boot (you know, during installation of system, boots happen). Now it connects to 3 sambas (1 on FreeBSD, 1 on

Someone asked today about smbfs on HPUX. The basic answer to that is that smbfs is _very_ operating system specific so it would take quite a lot of work to get it to run on another OS. There is hope though. Over the past few days I have been developing something called smbwrapper (and smbsh). This offers most of the capabilities of smbfs in a way that makes it somewhat portable. It also provides

First off, I don't know if this is password caching revisited with a vengeance or what. It's very inconsistent for the amount of time the share will stay mounted. I *think* the following are the relevant messagess in the log: Jun 23 22:24:36 reliant kernel: smb_trans2_request: result=-32, setting invalid Jun 23 22:24:36 reliant kernel: smb_retry: caught signal And of course, I get the

Where can I go for some good examples on how to use smbsh? The documentation I have read refers to a mount point (?) of /smb. How is this created. Where is documentation on that? I tried to compile 2.0.6 under Linux with smbwrapper enabled and got quite a few errors. Are there any known problems in this release? If you have been successful, did you have to change anything? If requested, I

Has anyone seen the following problems with smbsh under Solaris 8: 1. smbsh with no options does not prompt correctly for the Username: and Password:. You can enter them if you know that is what you need and it will continue on. If you use -U username it works. 2. Once smbsh is running, any command results in a "[1]+ Stopped" with bash. If you

Version 2.0.5a (same prob w/2.0.4b, though). smbsh segfaults after I enter my password. As root, it just seg faults. As my login user, it dumps core. Attached is a script of an strace of it. Running RH 6.0, kernel 2.2.10, AMD K6-2/350, 64M RAM. Configure options were: CFLAGS="$RPM_OPT_FLAGS" ./configure --prefix=%{pref} --libdir=/etc \ --with-lockdir=/var/lock/samba

Hello, I have trouble getting smbsh to work. Unfortunately I could not find sufficient documentation on the web. /smb seems to be empty: $./smbsh -W Ntdomain_1 -U myname -d 2 Password: smbsh$ ls /smb UX:ls: ERROR: Cannot access /smb: No such file or directory smbsh$ What is the problem? I have not edited any settings/password files. I have tried both Samba-2.2.2

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)

This smbsh rips! However, it unfortunately only rips on one of the machines here ;) On the others, which have basically the same config but a 2.2.5 kernel (vs 2.2.9) smbsh runs fine, and a cd to /smb works, but nothing else. 'ls' produces a listing of the directory where smbsh started in - it seems to me that no 'preloading' is being done of smbwrapper.so. Is there a way to test

Hi Oka, It worked! All works fine in the tcsh. Thanks!

Hi, currently I am running Solaris 8 and I am trying to install Samba so that I can run smbsh to access a Windows server. I do the following: ./configure --prefix=/usr/local/samba --with-smbwrapper make make install All the documentation I have seen says what I am doing is correct. Neither the configure nor any of the make commands fail. And once the installation is complete everything else

After you compile and install it (./configure --enable-smbwrapper ; make ; make install does it) you simply run it - it'll give you a login/pw and your usual shell prompt. You then can

I'm not sure if this has already be answered, but when I try to mount something using smbmount I get an error that smbfs needs mount version 6. I am running kernel 2.2.16-3 I was running 2.2.14-5.0 and I was still having the same problem. Is there a fix to this. Or is it a bug. I have not been able to find any documentation on the exact problem, just other people with the same problem.

I've been working with smbfs/smbmount the last few weeks to allow my linux log processing server access to the logs on our NT servers. The problem is that after a period of time all the smbfs mounts become invalid with either one of two errors. When you do a 'df -k' to view the mounts you see the following: samba:~# df -k Filesystem 1k-blocks Used Available Use%

Hi, I don't know how many people on this list use samba with freebsd , but I have a question. I have samba set up and can connect to my other win conputers using smbclient but I am told that freebsd does not have smbmount. i need to mount my win hard drives in order to back them up. Is this possible some way with samba under freebsd. Thanks Rick -- Rick Knebel rknebel@uplink.net

I'm getting only partial iso8859-1 translation from an smbfs mount from my Win98SE machine.

Hi all I'm currently using Samba 2.2.5 with LDAP support on my PDC and normal (no-LDAP) on other Linux boxes I have, and smbsh keeps failing with this error: ERROR: can't get smbw shared lock (Invalid argument) Does anyone know what's up? Is smbsh broken in general (obviously it is in my case)? Best Diego

I tried linking smbwrapper.so directly into bash, but that only works for bash and not any of the subprocesses it runs. That is bash can cd into the /smb directory and I can do an echo * to list files. But if I run a system command (ls, emacs) they can't see the /smb directory because they aren't linked with smbwrapper.so. -----Original Message----- From: Dirk De Wachter
