similar to: Compiling with smbmount option

Hello, I tried to compile Samba-2.0.5b with smbmount after setting the configure-option "--with-smbmount". On systems (SuSE 5.0 and SuSE 5.3) running Linux kernel 2.0.35 and 2.0.37 I didn't have success: Compiling client/smbmount.c In file included from /usr/include/linux/smb_fs.h:11, from client/smbmount.c:28: /usr/include/linux/smb.h:47: warning: `PVAL'

I have built, installed, and run 2.0.6 successfully without smbmount, but want to do it with this time. I know that it's not part of samba, but am hoping someone can tell me if I'm making a simple mistake. It's possible that it's not even samba related. I'm a novice at this and have not gotten very good at figuring out what's wrong when something doesn't build

I've just released a snapshot of 2.0.6 in the alpha directory on samba.org. This is intended for testing to make sure some of the recent changes work well on a wider range of sites. I have also built a RedHat Linux 6.X RPM and put it in the same dircetory. If you are not running a mission critical site then we would appreciate feedback on this snapshot. If you have reported a bug in Samba

Hi, I'm trying to build samba 2.0.5a on Red Hat 5.2. It originally came with 1.9something, which seemed to have some bugs accessing large mounted directories. I downloaded Red Hat's updates package, but unfortunately it only comes with smbclient and smbd, and what I need is smbmount and smbumount. My binaries from my more recent systems (RH6 and OL2.2) won't run due to

The following scriptlet, containing a wrong password among the mount options, #!/bin/bash /bin/mount -t smbfs -o \ "netbiosname=mymachine,workgroup=group,username=user, \ password=wrongpasswd,ro,debug=4" //machine/c /mnt/dir /bin/echo "Exit $?" returns invariably mount.smbfs started (version 2.2.7a-security-rollup-fix) added interface ip=192.168.0.53

Hello all This patch tries to remove a few bugs from smbmount. It would be nice to get some testing+feedback on this from others using smbmount and possibly get these things fixed for the next release of samba. It does the following: * Change lib/debug.c to allow changing your mind on being interactive. A second call to setup_logging should now replace the effects of a previous call. (hmm,

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 don't know who this problem belongs to, samba or Linux, but it's a common one, judging by the responses in my INBOX to a previous post. Plus, it's a fairly serious one; many applications require smb shares to be mounted continuously and without interruption. It's been a recurring problem which seems to have been pushed off to the side as not important, even though it's a

Hi, I´ running samba 2.0.5a and Linux 2.2.5. After smbmount sucessfully mounted my four nt-shares it lost the connection after 15 or more minutes. I´ve no idea why. The log reads smb_retry: signal failed: error=-3 I can remount all shares every 5 minutes but this doesn´t seem to be a good solution. Anyone who has a fix for this?

Hello, I have a Zip drive on my Windows machine, shared to the network. I can get to the drive through smbclient, but would like to mount it to my main Linux box to do backups. The Zip drive is known as \\mark\d to the network, and I would like to mount it to /mnt/zip However, smbmount is not able to mount it, nor am I able to mount it via smbclient. Anyone have this already working?

My problem is this - I wonder if anyone else has found a solution. I have an NT server & run NT Backup nightly and want to backup my RedHat 6 /Samba 2.0.5 box with it. I can create, delete and read files from those Samba shares, but for some reason NT Backup claims that it does not have enough permissions to backup those files that are sitting in the Samba Box. Would you have any clues how

Hi! I have a problem with smbclient and the option -M. I'd like to send Winpop Messages to my Windows Clients. I have noticed that command only works with short hostnames. I have for example a win95test1.no.domain host. Name resolution is done by bind 8 on the samba box. if I do echo "Test PopupMessage" |smbclient -M win95test1 it works. (The winpopup.exe program is of course

I've just tried to install MS Visual C++ 6.0 on our Samba 2.0.5a Linux Server. When I was asked for the installation directory I tried to use a samba-share that was mounted on a network drive letter. Just after this the setup programm refused the path as incorrect. Now the question: Is it impossible to install the VC6 package server based? I don't wan't to install this big package on

Does anyone have a cookbook for getting IIS (specifically with ASP's) working with SAMBA? Any help would be appreciated. I will summarize all responses. John -------------- next part -------------- HTML attachment scrubbed and removed

Hi All, I am experiencing issues with the use of DBase files on a Samba 2.0.5a share, that appear to be due to locking problems. Basically, I have test programs for both DOS and Win32 that does nothing but append records to a DBase database (DBF/MDX files). If more than one client PC is appending to this file, data loss occurs. I get random data loss, with records lost, and index file

I have a Windows Server 2003 system I'm trying to back up to a Linux host. when I access the share with smbclient, I can "see" the files (`ls` returns a list of files, etc) smbclient -U shareuser //server/sharename password But, when I try to actually mount the drive, I get "permission denied" errors trying to access the drive. (EG: using `df`) Running the following

I just had the unpleasant experience of crashing a production server _twice_ when trying to access a file share. The server is 64-bit Windows 2003 on an itanium3. My box is RedHat Linux 8.0 with Samba 3.0.0-2. Here's some messages from syslog: Mar 19 09:13:58 hedron automount[1037]: attempting to mount entry /dborg/POS Mar 19 09:13:58 hedron mount.smbfs[23153]: [2004/03/19 09:13:58, 0]

I use samba in a very limited application to mount smb shares using smbmount. I have a simple script I use that mounts several shares to a variety of mount points as a specific user on my system. The script passes username, password, share, mount point, domain information to each call to smbmount. This script worked perfectly under redhat 8.0 but since upgrading to redhat 9 I have had some

I am having problems mounting a DFS share, even though it works in smbclient fine. After mounting, the mount point (in ls) has question marks for everything, and when ls'ing I just get permission denied. Turning up debug and verbose don't seem to help. Any ideas ?
