Hi I'm using Debian woody. ii smbfs 2.2.3a-12.3 mount and umount commands for the smbfs... I want to mount a W2K share as user. Mount as root works fine. The entry in /etc/fstab looks like this: //NOTEBOOK/D /notebook/D: smbfs user,username=ernohl,noauto 0 3 If I try to mount: erno@flinker:~$ mount /notebook/D: Password: cannot mount on /notebook/D:: Operation not permitted smbmnt

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

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

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() -

I've seen several references to running smbmount from /etc/fstab, but I've never seen an example. Does anyone have an example fstab entry that does this? Thanks Steve Litt

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

Is there any way to use/build smbmount on a HP-UX system? If not, is there an alternitive methods to read/write file to a windows server from a HP-UX machine? Thanks, Jerry S. Horton

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

I am encountering an odd problem with su. Up until quite recently I was able to connect to one of my servers (CentOS-5.2) via ssh as an ordinary user and then, from the shell, perform an $ su -l to obtain root access. Now when I try to do this I see the following: $ su -l Password: su: incorrect password If, instead of I ssh to this machine as the root user ($ ssh -l root host) and enter

hey centos long time no hear! :) I'm having a small issue where the backup jobs that I set to run in the crontab of the backup user do not appear to be running. Here's how I set it up (with crontab -e as the backup user): run amanda every night (check at 2:45 and backup at 3) 45 2 * * * /usr/sbin/amcheck /var/log/amanda/crontab/amcheck.log * 3 * * * /usr/sbin/amdump

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?

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 am trying to use smbmount. I am using Samba 2.0.0 The smbmount command I am using is smbmount //greg/c /mnt/gregc -I 90.0.0.2 It apparrently works. I get the following messages: Added interface.......bla bla Servier time is ........bla bla Timezone is UTC-6.0 Domain ........ Connected as guest security = user smb: \> But I can not do anything. Nothing works. Not ls, dir,

Why can a user only mount on a directory which he owns with smbmount? Surely write permission should be enough worst case and likely this too should not be required. Other mount code allow mounts to occur without ownership (for example the CD-ROM mounting to /mnt/cdrom when ANY user types mount /mnt/cdrom without either ownership or write permission). It seems inconsistent. If the problem is in

I've been trying several times now: # mount -t smbfs -o credentials=/etc/samba/private/credentials,codepage=cp850,iocharset=iso8859-1,noauto //machine/share\$ /mnt/share Causes: # ls /mnt/share/directory Sp?rsm?l.txt While this: # mount -t smbfs -o credentials=/etc/samba/private/credentials,codepage=cp850,iocharset=iso8859-1 //machine/share\$ /mnt/share Causes: # ls /mnt/share/directory

I recently got to set up a Linux workstation in a mostly-Windows environment. I'm trying to use pam_mount from: http://bazar.conectiva.com.br/~epx/pam_mount/ to automatically mount smb shares from a Windows 2000 server at login. (pam_mount is a pam module that grabs the passwd you use for login, xdm, ssh, or any other pam module and uses it with smbmount to automatically mount shares when

Local software is: samba-client-2.0.7-4 samba-common-2.0.7-4 samba-2.0.7-4 on RH 6.2 plus fixes, kernel is 2.2.16-3 NT server is 4.0 SP4 As root I can mount an NT share onto the Linux system: /usr/bin/smbmount '//ntserver/myshare' /mnt/test -o username=mylinuxuser,password=something,uid=myntuser,workgroup=CMP But the mount point gets forced to mode 555 instead of 755. It's not an NT
