similar to: smbmount 2.0.5 / permissions

I am running a Samba fileserver (Redhat//pandora/pub /mnt/pub smbfs credentials=/etc/samba/smb.auth,uid=1000,gid=100,fmask=666,dmask=777,debug=9 0 0 9 kernel: 2.4.20-24.7, smbd ver: 3.0.0). I am now trying to mount a share on this server on another Linux machine (SuSE 9.1 kernel 2.6.5-7.108, smbmount ver. 3.0.7). I would like to have the share automattically mount on startup using an /etc/fstab

Apologies if this has already been asked, but I couldn't find reference to it anywhere. Various windows versions allow characters in share names like " " and ")" (space, close paren) that need to be escaped when passed to the shell. However, it seems like the 2.0.5 smbmount calls smbmnt via the shell, and so if you try to do something like: smbmount

I'm using Samba 2.0.6 on a Linux server. When using smbmount or mount to mount a share from an NT server, how do I set file permissions. An older smbmount allowed a -d and -f switch to set the file permissions. The newest one does not support these. The man pages for smbmount and smbmnt mention using syntax that does not work. I finally have gotten the mount command to work, but now I

Hello, I have found a solution on an other news group : uk.comp.os.linux There is a set of messages with the subject "Ordinary user to mount SAMBA share" You can read the content of that uk.comp.os.linux group through the web, the URL is http://x35.deja.com In one of the message the author wrote "After, further test. I find smbmount, unlike mount, requires the user owns the

Hello, I?m having trouble with smbmount & WinNT 4.0 SP 4 Workstation. Mounting shares on NT from Linux as root is no problem, but if I try to mount shares as a normal user, the directory I want to mount the share, becomes gid root and cannot be accessed by a normal user. Is there any configuration to do for this like setting permissions in smb.conf ? Thanks in advance Andreas Klein ---

Hey everyone, I have an SMB/CIFS share on a Samba Server that I am trying to mount on a workstation via the smbmount command. When I just connect to the share using smbclient everything works fine. When I mount the share with smbmount using the exact same credentials, I mysteriously can't write to it. I get "Permission Denied". Can someone please clue me in to what could be

OK so I can mount a cd-rom drive off an NT box no problem, as in. I don't get any errors. here's what I do get.

Hi, I have got a problem with the semantics of file permissions on a file system mounted by smbmount on a Linux box (kernel 2.2.14, Samba 2.0.6, and after looking through the 2.0.7 announcement, it appears that the problem has not been addressed there). Consider the following case: I mount a share from an NT server on a Linux box, which I then use at the Linux box. I create a file on that

Hi, I'm using samba/winbind to integrate a linux machine on to a windows network. I'm at the point where I have a unified logon scheme with logins to the linux machine being authenticated through the windows PDC (using winbind). I also have a windows-based file server with shares that I can successfully "smbmount" on the linux machine. My problem is that I would like to be

I am receiving this error randomly when using smbclient to access pc shares : FINDFIRST gave ERRSRV - (Non-specific error code.) I use smbclient with Amanda to backup pc shares. For amanda to work, it uses smbclient to recursively scan through the entire directory tree and get total MB size of each directory. The problem is that when trying to enter some directories it gives the above error and

ok, on my windows machine, i see: myname on 'computer01\home' (H:) so i went to my linux box and did: smbclient -L //computer01 -U myname and i see Home listed as a sharename (why does windows show it as "home" but its really "Home" as reported by smbclient?). well everything works fine if i mount it like this: smbmount //computer01/Home /mnt/computer01/Home -o

Hi, In 2.0.5(a) is a new version of smbmount, version 2.0, latest before was 1.9 in samba 2.0.4b. The new syntax is smbmount //server/share /mountpoint [smbmount options] instead of the former smbmount //server/share [smbmount options] \ -c 'mount mountpoint [mount options]' Indeed the new version works, but to mount shares from my OS/2 server I need the mount option '-f

Hi all, (1) I wish to mount a SMB share onto my Linux filesystem. When I mount the share, it modifies the permissions on the "mounting directory" allowing other users to gain access to the share, masquerading as the mounting user. Lucky it doesn't give write access to anyone, but read access is bad enough. Can anyone explain this behaviour? (Example transcript provided below)

Hello, I have a problem with smbmount between two Linux (both: RH 6.0, kernel 2.2.9, samba 2.0.4c) boxes. When I use smbmount, the share loads and I can read files just fine, but when I copy ("cp file") to the share, the first 512 bytes of the file are copied and then the copy just freezes there. Trying several times to kill -9 the process didn't work. I had to reboot the server.

Howdy all: I'm trying to use smbmount to mount a win9x share and copy some files for backup, eventually to run as a script invoked via cron. I have RH6.1/samba 2.0.5a, and the windoze box is win95b. If I do the standard mount (smbmount //winbox/backup /mnt/smb04) I have to be root. Also, after it's mounted, I can't create any files there as a normal user (even though the

This is the list of problems I had with samba-2.0.6 so far. Can anyone tell me if he can reproduce them and if he considers them as problems? 2.0.6 on linux 2.2.13 or 2.0.33 1) sighup/log reopening doesn't always work: connections that are already active keep logging to the old logs; logrotate rotates/zip the logs and samba stops logging completely till restart. 2) Localized chars. I have

Hello-- A quick question, to see if anyone could help me out. I have a home network with two nodes, my laptop and my girlfriend's. I have Debian sarge with kernel 2.6.6 on my laptop while on my girlfriend's machine is the Latin American Spanish version of Windows ME. I am trying to use smbmount to allow me to mount her machine's Windows file shares. I have set up the shares on her
