(using samba-2.0.7 on Debian Linux 2.2.15) Hi, I'm wondering how do I get around the problem when you smbmount a share on a win32 machine and that machine reboots, the mount becomes a blackhole. If you attempt an 'ls', 'df' or anything that would access that mount point the program then goes into a state of void and cannot be killed, leaving the proc open until reboot

This is a problem I get with various versions of Samba, up to and including 2.0.7. (The version shipped with Debian.) I have an NT machine (4.0, service-pack 3 using NTFS) exporting a filesystem to Linux through smbmount. Specific directories are not browsable. By that I mean that "ls *" comes up blank, however if you know the filename, "ls foo.txt" will still find the

Hi people,

Using Mac G4's running Dave 2.5.1 with a Linux box running Red Hat 6.1 and Samba 2.0.7. Note this problem also occured with Samba 2.0.3. Using mount -t smbfs -o password=pw //DEV00/Apps /mnt/test appears to work and mount returns //DEV00/Apps on /mnt/test/ type smbfs (0) when I cd /mnt/test and do ls -l say or dir all I get is total 0 I can use smbclient to access the share and get a

Is there a file I can place in the netlogin directory (or anywhere else for that matter) that will represnet a logon script? I want to have my workstations auto-mount particular shares on the samba server, without the user having to make the mount. This way when I add new users, the shares are automatically present. If there is a script I can place somwehre, please tell me what it's name is

I've got a machine running RedHat Linux 6.2 on a P-II400 with 256MB of ram. I'm mounting shares in the manner 'mount -t smbfs -o uid=user,gid=group //server/share /mount/point'. The server is a genuine NT 4 server, with SP5 and a couple of hotfixes. I mounted a couple of shares yesterday, and overnight the stopped working. When accessing the share, I get an error message that

BTW, I am using samba-client-2.0.7-4 and Redhat Linux 6.1 (linux 2.2.12-20). -Sudheer Sudheer Tumuluru wrote: > Hi, > I have an NT machine running an application which refreshes a > text file every minute or so with fresh data.

I'm running Linux 2.1.130 on an AXP, with Samba 2.0 beta 2. I have smbfs enabled in the kernel with Win 95 bug fixes enabled but I'm not running smbd. The server containing the share is an HP running Samba 1.9.16p11. I mount the share with smbmount //hpname/share -c 'mount /home/me/mydir' All is well for a while (~1 hour), but then I get kernel: smb_get_length: recv error = 5

[Note: This has been posted to linux-kernel and was ignored. Since smbfs is maintained by the samba team, I am retrying here] Hi! To maintain and install packages from CD-ROM to my Debian/GNU Linux system, I use Debian's apt package. Since my Linux box is stowed away in a closet, I use an smbfs mount to mount the CD-ROM drive from my Windows desktop machine to the Linux box. This used to

I'm trying to mount a share from an NT machine which has an space inside, i.e doing something like that: mount -t smbfs -o username=nardmann,password=xxx "//machine/for internal use" internal_use I always get the message Could not resolve mount point internal How do I mount such shares with whitespace inside the share name? -- Heiko Nardmann (Dipl.-Ing.), h.nardmann@secunet.de,

Ok, typing: mount -t smbfs -o username=username,password=password //Share/File /mnt worked! It loaded the contents of the folder I wanted to acces into the mnt directory. This is goad, but I would like to store them all in one directory. I tired to do a ... /mnt/directoryname but it wouldn't work. Also, how do I set things up so that Linux will automatically load this share on startup

I am not sure if this is a bug or a feature... The 2.0.7 version no longer wants to connect to a DOS 6.22/DOS LANMAN2.1 (wg1049.exe) server. Version 1.9.18 does work. Both smbclient and (more importantly for our needs) smbmount fail. However, both work fine with win95 boxes. The problem seems specific to the DOS server. I could not find any reference to this issue. Am I perhaps overlooking

[Since samba-bugs has been shutdown, I'm posting this here...] I'm running RH 7.0 with both 2.2.16 and 2.4.2 kernels I've got the following samba packages installed: samba-client-2.0.7-21ssl samba-common-2.0.7-21ssl I have a Windows NT 4 server (SP6a) which stores many of my files since I use both Linux and Windows to access them (Linux on my desktop, Windows on my laptop) I

I continue to have the same problems in Samba 2.0.6 with smbfs that I was seeing in 2.0.5: (1) After a mount (mount -t smbfs etc.), the volume is often not yet fully mounted. For instance, if I write a Perl script like: system('mount -t smbfs -o password=pwd //MACHINE/SHARE /mnt/machine_share'); system('find /mnt/machine_share > find.out'); the 'find' may not find

I don't know who this problem belongs to, samba or Linux, but it's a common one, judging by the responses in my INBOX to a previous post. Plus, it's a fairly serious one; many applications require smb shares to be mounted continuously and without interruption. It's been a recurring problem which seems to have been pushed off to the side as not important, even though it's a

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

I'm not sure if this has already be answered, but when I try to mount something using smbmount I get an error that smbfs needs mount version 6. I am running kernel 2.2.16-3 I was running 2.2.14-5.0 and I was still having the same problem. Is there a fix to this. Or is it a bug. I have not been able to find any documentation on the exact problem, just other people with the same problem.
