similar to: linux 2.2.x and smbmount 2.0.5a: Win95 bugfix?

I've got a SuSE 6.2 Linux server, which now comes with Samba 2.0.5a. I'm having problems with scripts that used to run under 2.0.2. I've tried digging around on newsgroups, the manpages, and the Samba web site and can't seem to find everything I need to do to mount a share (from an NT 4.0 server). When I issue the following: smbmount //server/share -I dest ip -U user%pswd -c

Hi, When I "smbmount" a shareable drive on my linux box, the result of the "ls" command is often false. (Kernel is compiled with "SMB Win95 bug work around" and "SMB filesystems support", Linux 2.0.34, RedHat 5.1, Samba 1.9.18p5) What can I do to solve my problem ??? Thanks a lot for your help. Michel

hi ya samba-gurus.. I'm currently using Linux-2.0.35 to backup NT boxes... linux-2.0.35 + smbmount-2.0.1 works find for things like smbmount //NT/C /NT_mnt ...etc... find /NT_mnt -mtime -1 | tar zcvf /backup/foo.tgz -T - but it fails miserabley on linux-2.2.5 w/ smbmount-2.0.x w/ smbd-2.0.3 ( smbmount from smbfs and samba-2.0.3 ) - some linux programs will change all your time stamps on

Hi I have two different distributions running, RedHat 6.0 and Slackware 7.0. Both machines are running Samba 2.05a. When I try the smbmount command on the RedHat machine, it has no problem mounting the smb service. RedHat 6.0: works: smbmount //win95machine/c /mnt/c failed: smbmount "\\win95\c" -c `mount /mnt/c -u 123 -g 456` Slacware 7.0: failed: smbmount //win95machine/c /mnt/c

Hello all. I've a <BIG> problem with smbmount. I use samba 2.0.5a on a linux slackware 4.0 (kernel 2.2.6) machine and a WinNT Server 4.0 (sp3, sp4, sp5...). When I mount a WinNT share (i.e. test) with command "smbmount //winntserver/test /mnt" I see a complete confusion on the file(s) date in /mnt directory. I read dates from 1900 since 2100. If I "touch" to create

Hi, Iam using Red hat linux 6.1 with samba version 2.0.7 .I had compiled and used it,and also used the patch given for smbmount.c by Urban.But Strangely the smbmount version is still version 2.0.5a.Is this the correct version for smbmount since i thought when i upgraded samba from 2.0.5a to 2.0.7 smbmount would also be upgraded.Because iam still facing some problems in using smbmount.If iam

I have a problem. When I mount my CD (witch is on WIN97 machine) using smbmount I do not see all files in all dirs. If dir have more then, let say, 100 files (it is not the same every time), I do not see all files. This is a problem because on my Linux box I do not have CD-ROM, so if I have to install some packages I first have to copy rpm files on disk, and then install them witch is annoying.

I have a small LAN in my basement, with my PC running RH5 Linux and a Win95 PC connected by Samba. Everything works fine, but when I smbmount a CD (burned with xcdroast) from the Linux box (CD is in the Win95 machine) I do not get the proper filenames. All files are uppercase, and the TRANS.TBL files appear to be ignored. I have tried playing with name mangling, but it didn't help. Is this a

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

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

I think that I have found what I consider a bug using smbmount 2.0.05a that came with linux 6.1, and also have a question at the end of this e-mail. I can successfully mount a shared drive from a windows NT machine using the following format. smbmount //computername/sharedfolder /mountpoint -U username%password I can manipulate folders and files from the linux computer with no problem. However

Hi, Since i upgraded to Linux Redhat 9.0 / samba-2.2.7a-8.9.0 / kernel 2.4.20-9 i have the following problem: # smbmount //amd/Films /mnt/disk -o username=jan,password=XXXXXX # In 50% of the times i do this command it mounts the share and goes into daemon mode and ps -aux shows one process smbmount. All ok. However in the other 50% the command just hangs. If i open a new window it did do

Hi All: I encountered a problem with smbmount and win2003 sp1. Before I upgrade sp1, everything works fine. But after sp1, smbmount = can't work. The command and error message are as follows: smbmount //localhost/share1 /tmp/mountest -o = username=3Ddomainu1,password=3Dpassword ERRDOS - ERRnoaccess (Access Denied.) SMB connection failed I also checked the release note about the issue, and

I posted a similar email recently regarding this. One thing has changed, however; I have upgraded my kernel to 2.2.6 (hence I'm now using the samba version of smbmount rather than the smbfs version). I get the error "no such device" when trying to mount a network drive. My command line is: smbmount "\\\\susangra\\c-hd" -c 'mount /mnt' the console text which

I installed samba on a PC running SuSE 10.2, using the version from the SuSE 10.2 repository (3.0.23). All very nice, except smbmount is missing. As I understand it, this would seem to be because the version offered had not been compiled with the --with-smbmount option. Is my interpretation correct? And if so, how can I fix things? Do I have to download the source and do my own compilation

Hi, I'm running RH9 with kernel 2.4.20 and Samba 2.2.8a. I can copy files larger than 2GB from Windows to Linux and vice versa through Samba. However, when I copy >2GB files from one Linux machine to another (using smbmount to mount) I get "File size limit exceeded" when 2GB is reached. It looks like the problem is with smbmount. Is there a 2GB file size limit with

In a past thread I've notice that smbmount (and mount's suport for it) will be discontinued and smbclient should be used insted. Sorry if the question is too lame but I use it in some of my systems now and I think I'll have trouble porting then to smbclient. Is smbmount been removed because it relays on kernel smb support? Samba will not need smb support in kernel in the

I'm having problems with some Win95 files that have things like copyright characters in the filenames. For example, when I try to copy such a file using the name that shows up in the 'ls' listing, I get "file not found". The funky characters get translated to underscores in the listing. Adding 'character set = iso8859-1' to smb.conf does *not* help. I'm

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
