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

Hello All, I had a problem with 2.0.3 on RH6.0 (linux) where a mount of an NT server share on my linux machine would mysteriously die after a period of time (a long time? not being used? don't know why, but hours of unuse). I would get an "input/output error" when I tried to do a df later. To get around the problem, I found I needed to "umount" (not smbumount) the

Dear all 1) Could you happen to know why smbmnt, smbmount and smbumount are not compiled whem I rum "make" from the source directory? I found (for example) bin/testparms in the PROGS1 Makefile variable but no reference to those little fellows. 2) How do I change the config directory to be /etc instead of /usr/local/samba/lib?

Hi all, I've been trying to get an answer to this question for a long time and in a lot of different places, but no luck. Basically I want to mount an XP volume on my Linux machine at boot time over Samba. The network is just an XP box and a Linux box, connected by a crossover cable.

Hi- I'm working on a graphical interface to smbclient/smbmount/smbumount. As part of its operation, it will mount shares in directories under a user's home directory. I've run into a bit of a problem regarding the distributions of the mount utilities, specifically on Redhat 5.1/5.2. They are shipping an RPM with smbfs 2.0.1, which is known to have a security hole... so it should

Hi all, I installed the samba 3.0.3 on a Fedora Core 2 and then samba 3.0.6-1 and still have the following problem. When I mount a smbfs, it sucesses but processes hang when they access the mount point and smbumount returns "Device busy". Since even system halt fails unmounting the filesystem, I have to switch off the machine. I tested either with smbmount command, or /etc/fstab

Hi there, after browsing the mailing list archives for several hour I still couldn't find an answer to my problem, although it for sure sounds as if many people posted the same problem. Yet, none of the threads dealing with problems like these matched my problem, so I have to start a new thread on my own. This is my system environment: Linux machine: - Mandrake Linux 8.1 - samba-2.2.1a

This has been asked before but the answers haven't worked for me.I upgraded from 2.2.7 to 3.0.0. I used to connect to Windows sharesusing smbmnt in .bash_profile as a non-root user having chmod 4755smbmnt. Now this doesn't work: - smbmount won't let non-root users run it (even after a chmod) - smbmnt says "Failed to find real path for mount point" - mount -t smbfs says

I'm running Suse 8.0, Samba 2.2.3a, and KDE 3.0 I'm trying to mount shares when a user logs in and unmount them when a user logs out. I'm able to get them mounted ok. It's the unmount that is causing problems. Whenever another user logs on he's got the same mounts as the prior user. Everytime the original user logs in the mounts are regenerated. In my runlevel file
