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,

Can't mount share on my linux boxes as a regular user. I have no trouble mounting shares as root. This problem occurs on both my linux boxes. All the commands I show I have run as a regular user. Here is all the data I have: smbmount \\\\JHAMMER6\\public /mnt/NetWork/JHAMMER6/public/ -o debug=6 mount.smbfs started (version 2.0.7) Initialising global parameters params.c:pm_process() -

Hello, I'm looking for some (user & technical) feedback on a change I'm considering on how mount and smbmount works together. The current way mounts are done are: mount -t smbfs ... => smbmount ... => smbmnt Possibly without the mount step. smbmount stays as a daemon and reconnects when asked (unless it crashes). Problems: - Some mount options should affect if the mount

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

Hi, I am deploying samba for an embedded system. The requirement is that the system should be able to mount windows share points. I believe "smbmount, smbumount and smbmnt" components are needed to do the same. I am not very clear about smbmnt though! I find that smbmount, smbumount and smbmnt are all quite huge. Around 300 to 400Kb each. I understand that Samba is capable of doing

Hi all, I am trying to cross compile samba version 2.2.12 to an ARM platform (kernel 2.4.20) using arm-tools chain 3.4.2. I get the smbmount compiled, however, when I want to mount a directory that is located in a Windows XP PC, I get the following message: WARNING: The "strip dot"option is deprecated unrecognized character set handle_source_env: Failed to open file , Error was

Hi, I don't know why smbmount doesn't work. My samba version is 3.0.0. Remote server (192.168.1.1) is running samba 3.0.0 too. Both are linux machines. 1) If I try to mount a existing share i get this /usr/local/samba/bin/smbmount //192.168.1.1/PAVFN /monta added interface ip=192.168.1.200 bcast=192.168.1.255 nmask=255.255.255.0 Password: smbfs/init_mount: execv of smbmnt failed.

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

-----BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE----- Hash: SHA1 I have seen a weird problem in one of my clients. The reported that when issuing a smbmount command (both client and server are CentOS 4.4), it would take up to 30 second for the mount to complete. To make a long history short, by using strace and the source, I noticed smbmnt is first calling mount() using ascii options for *data. Then that would

I have cross-compiled smbmount(smbmnt, smbclient) using samba-3.0.24.tar.gz, then ported them to an ARM Arch machine whose /etc directory is read only. The smbmount command always results in errors """Can't get /etc/mtab~ lock filesmbmnt failed: 1""" Someone says that If we rebuild samba with the smbmount-nomtab.patch and smbmount-mtab-flags.patch, it would work

I would like to use smbmount on a SGI running IRIX 6.5.1m. The distribution of samba for IRIX does not include the executables smbmount or smbmnt. Is there a source for these executables?

Hi! I have a new machine on a network: kemmer: New Linux box (kernel 2.0.36. Samba 1.9.18p10) torres: old Linux box (kernel 2.0.36. Samba 1.9.18p10) janeway: Windows NT 4.0 SP4. torres and janeway are performing flawlessly, I can access both machine's shares from the other one. kemmer is new and can't access DNS yet. Thus, I have to use the -I switch to smbclient and smbmount to access

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

Hello all, after hacking around to get smbmount and smbmnt to get compiled on RedHat-5.1 I'm unable to use them. With the stock RedHat kernel and the old smbmount I used the following command line: smbmount //rho/homes /mnt/smb/homes -c pc-topaz -U pommnitz -u pommnitz -P mypassword Everything works fine this way (with 2.0.34). With 2.1.107 the new smbmount is required. As I said, after some

Hi- I'm finding a strange problem with smbmount (the one from samba 2.0, not the old smbfs) on the 2.2.0 linux kernel. I compiled samba with: --with-smbmount --with-automount --with-smbwrapper I am using Redhat 5.2, smbfs is compiled as a module, and mount is version 2.8a if that matters. smbmnt is installed setuid root as it should be. When I run "smbmount '\\machine\share'

Hi all, Just a thought - I'm running Samba on HP-UX 10.20,11.0, and MPE/iX, so no SMBMount for me. But Steve's idea that an update to files on the smbserver during a period of inactivity on the smbclient being involved led me to question if this could be an issue with the 'change notify' NT Transact mechanism; Some clients, when doing a treeconnect to an smbshare, will then

I have a problem mounting Samba shares with recent mount packages from RedHat and Samba packages from samba site. I have tried samba-2.2.4 RPM and samba-2.2.5 (built for RH7.2). In all cases mount fails if I use RH mount package version > 2.11b (current is 2.11n). If I also use Samba packages (2.2.4) from RedHat Rawhide - everyhting works Here is detailed description I have submitted to RH
