similar to: Samba can't keep NT shares mounted

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?

Running NT 4.0 WS SP 5 and samba 2.0.5a on Linux, 2.2.12 kernel. Whenever I mount an NT share from Linux, it times out after an indeterminate period of time. This has been a continuing problem, the only workaround being to perform something requiring disk activity on the NT box, bypassing the cache (i.e., ls > /dev/null doesn't work, but df does). This must be done on a regular

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

We have downloaded the samba 2.0.5a source from net and tried to compile with the smbmount option, which is what we need for mounting. The following wor " ----------- client/smbmount.c: In function `send_fs_socket` : client/smbmount.c:295: storage size of `conn_options` isn't known client/smbmount.c:314: `SMB_CASE_DEFAULT` Undeclared (first use this function) client/smbmount.c:325:

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

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

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

Hello. I hope that this is the proper place to ask this. Here is my problem. I have several smbmounts under Red Hat Linux 5.1. They need to be accessed by my apache web server. One of the mounts keeps getting disconnected, but this is not noticed by Linux. So the Linux box thinks that the files under the smbmount are still accessable when they aren't actually mounted. What would be the best

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.

I use smbmount to mount a number of NT shares from around a global network in order to sync from a master distribution which resides in linux. Specifically... uklnxsrv$ smbmount //NTSRV/share -c 'mount /tmp/temporary_mount -u 502 -g 510' -U guest%guest_passwd Frequently it works well, but from time to time the mounted NT share, for lack of a better word gets corrupted. Here are the

Hello, I am running Samba-2.2.0alpha-2 on a OpenLinux 2.3 (Caldera) system, and I was wondering if this error message is NORMAL behavior for a NT Server share mounted with the following command: //inet_server_1/C /mnt/server1 -o username=xxxxxxxx,password=xxxxxx,ip=x.x.x.2 here is what is in /var/log/messages: Mar 15 09:51:59 htmlodds kernel: smb_trans2_request: result=-32, setting invalid

Hi all I'm using Samba version 3.0623 on my rhel3 with kernel 2.4.21 I mounted a windows partition with the command "smbmount". Now I have the problem, that I cannot copying files which are larger than 2GB. The cp command starts and everything works fine until the 2GB are reached. Then the bash gives me the error: "The maximum file size is exceeded" the

Printing seems like a popular subject here lately. ;) I have an Epson Stylus Color IIs which I had connected to my Linux box. It was mapped on my NT box, and everything worked fairly well (except for the print quality--NT drivers for that printer suck). So, I bought a new printer--an Epson Stylus Color 740. I hooked it up to Linux, made the necessary changes to /etc/printcap, and printed some
