similar to: smbmount/smbumount getting rid of dead connections

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, when I try to mount a share on my windows pc using smbmount it says that it needs mount version 6, but my mount came fron util- linux and it's version is 2.9.... I also noticed that the smbmount and smbumount files in the samba 2.0.0 package don't get compiled... Can someone help me? I'm running slackware 3.6 with kernel 2.0.0- pre7... Nils ------- LINUX... A manly sort of

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

I'm using rehat9, kernel2.4.20-18.9, samba2.2.7a-7.9.0. I have smbumount hangs most of the time. Any idea?

When I mount linux/windows samba shares with smbmount (command line or with komba2) I have this kind of error : [thomas@Daemon / ]$ cd Dance\ \&\ Techno [thomas@Daemon Dance & Techno]$ ls Unable to handle kernel paging request at virtual address cbff0000 *pde = 00031063 *pte = 00000000 Oops: 0000 CPU: 0 EIP: 0010:[<cc9f9c34>] Tainted: P EFLAGS: 00010246 eax: 00000000

Dear Sir I have installed Samba 2.0.7 with --with-smbmount option from the tar file but when i execute the below command >smbmount i got the version 2.0.5a with help messages. Is it true or my installation has problem? Another question: Can you say what settings should be set for NT WINS server to see my linux copmuter at Domain 'MyGroup' with host name 'ATTAR' Thanks

I posted a previous thread about using smbmount, but I am still having some problems, using samba version 2.0.5a on SuSE 6.2. I issue the statement: smbmount //NTServer/share /mnt/test -Iaddress -Uid%pswd Afterwards, if I go to the mount directory, i.e. 'cd /mnt' and issue the command 'ls -l' I get an error message 'ls: test: Input/output error'. After that, the mount

I mount my win98 laptop directory on my linux box using: smbmount //sushi/doug -c "mount /home/deck/sushi -u deck -g deck -f 644" This works great so long as I don't ever leave the house. If I take the laptop away and then reconnect it, I can neither use the directory /home/deck/sushi (I get "input/output error") Nor can I unmout it or remount it. (I get "cannot

Okay, I've narrowed the problem down quite a bit. As previously reported, in CentOS 5.2 I get this: $ cvs log Makefile poll: protocol failure in circuit setup cvs [log aborted]: end of file from server (consult above messages if any) Turns out this is a problem with rsh: $ rsh khan ls connect to address 10.24.15.48 port 544: Connection refused Trying krb4 rsh... connect to address

I'm trying to set up mounting of a Windows share for non-root users via /etc/fstab on a CentOS 4.6 box - I've followed the instructions at: <http://wiki.centos.org/TipsAndTricks/WindowsShares> Using something like the /etc/fstab example given in the wiki page (with, of course, using a valid share, username and password for my set up): //winbox/getme /mnt/win cifs

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

Hello, I have a RedHat 7.3 workstation and have created a samba mount to my samba server. Everything seems to be working ok, but when I reboot my RH workstation the mount is not reestablished. I believe the problem is that when I reboot the machine the samba share is not unmounted. After rebooting the machine when I run smbstatus on the samba server it indicates the mount is still active.

I don?t know what?s going on the sushi from the laptop always kick me out!!! Fresh installation. packet_write_wait: Connection How can that be! Andy

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

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

rsync does not sync the timestamp on symlink (Solaris 8). It is probablly due to the limitation of Unix implementation of symlink, but I would like to know why rsync/Unix does not do this, and what we can do about it. Is the conclusion that "rsync syncs everything except the timestamp on symlink"? Why do I need timestamp on symlink? Supposed something stopped working because something

Has anyone out there had success with smbmount smbumount and solaris 7? If so, please let me know how you installed it; ideally, I'd like to add it using pkgadd. So far I only have smbclient working. Thanks, Kevin

I am moving FROM: RH EL AS 3.0, Kernel is 2.1.21-4, Samba is 3.0.0-14.3E (This is what came with the RH distribution) TO: Fedora Core 5 Kernel is 2.6.16-1.2122_FC5 Samba is 3.0.22-1.fc5 (Both kernel and samba have been upgraded from the distribution.) I can't find the smbmount (or smbumount) command. I am running VMWare and want to be able to move files between the host

Hi all, Excuse the question as I'm sure those more experienced will find it simple. I've a CentOS5.1 box with six physical drives, two of which are used for nightly rsync backups. Contents of /etc/mtab, /etc/fstab, df and a brief narrative follow: ====================================================== # cat ./fstab /dev/VolGroup00/LogVol00 / ext3 defaults

Hello, I’m reaching out because our online radio station (sites.up.edu/kdup/) has stopped streaming in the last week - the website itself works fine but when anyone attempts to listen to the live music stream they receive a message that says “cannot connect to the server “icecast.up.edu.” Do we need to update the server, or is this a problem that someone else can take care of? Let me know if I
