similar to: Solaris-8 (intel) --with-smbmount (Linux only) ??

Hello Family, In yesterday's head thumper I had to attempt to (remotely) grab some wedding photo's for my wife from my Win2000 machine to Solaris-8 running Samba-2.2.2 The examples show the following; smbtar -s dumbo -t /dev/st0 -x windows That assumes your backing up a directory, the directory is on your (windows) C:\WINDOWS I just needed a few jpg's from another drive on my

The attached message is 2001, but was the top of the list in a Google search for the error message. The same solution fixed a SuSE 9.3 Samba/Cups problem for a Brother MFC 3360C printer. Thanks!

Hello Family, My RedHat-7.2 box prints perfectly to an Epson777 color injet printer which I gave an IP address via a mini printserver attached to the back of the printer. I have a Windows2000 computer hooking into the same RedHat-7.2 box via Samba-2.2.2 fine. I have not been able to get my Windows2000 box to print to the Epson777 color injet via Samba. [question] Since Linux already

Hello Family, (smd.conf file attached) Having had great success with 2.2.2 and my Linux box and Windows-2000 machines I switched to CUPS and now can't print again having made some slight edits in my smb.conf file (attached) for the change to CUPS. [1] I have to reloaded all the Windows drivers again on the Windows-2000 machines and still get the "Startdoc..." error. [2] The

Hello Family, I had encounted that as "user" I couldn't change my own passwd with "smbpasswd" and noticed the permission differences between smbpasswd and passwd. This is Samba-2.2.2 -rwxr-xr-x 1 root root 782415 Dec 28 03:14 /usr/local/samba/bin/smbpasswd -r-s--x--x 1 root root 12244 Feb 7 2000 /usr/bin/passwd Is there a reason why the

Hello Family, [day 2.5] Well, thanks to "Gerald (Jerry) Carter" there has been progress in attempting to print from my Windows2000 machine to my Linux machine running 2.2.2 to an Epson777 inkjet printer on the LAN with a mini print-server on the back of it. I've now got no more RED "access denied" warnings in my Win2k printer setup screen, there is a GREEN "Status:

Hello Family, Our sysadmin at work demands that no one have any Samba projects other than the single one on our network due to the "NOISE" that is emitted by Samba. [question] Can I still use the current 2.2.2 with my little test setup and not fall prey to the order to "cease and desist" Samba ? It's one Solaris-8(Intel) and Win2000 and Win98, three total machines. --

Gustavo Courault <courault@gigared.com> has solved this for me with the following advice and I have enclosed my smb.conf file in case it may help anyone, I'm running Samba-2.2.2 and CUPS printing to a Epson-777 injet via a Edimax $40 printserver attached to the back of the printer with a static IP address assigned to the printer. My OS is RedHat-6.2 <quote> I uncomment the line

Hello Family, I'm having a hell of a time just trying to "see" the shared printer on a Win-XP(pro) box here at home. All my other Windows boxes can not only see it but print to it, my Unix family (all of the relatives) of machines are having no luck. I apologize if this is something simple for Samba has evolved so much that one barely needs to do anything to get stuff working for

Hi, I use samba on Linux 2.6 and 2G over size file sharing. It seems smbmount '-o lfs' need to use with large file. but default man page doesn't say this option. I want to edit smbmount.8.xml for lfs and unicode option. I believe using mount.cifs is right way on latest Linux. But one of the implementation smb_clients tools take this lazy option. Is it right way to change of man page

I'm running samba 2.2.5 on a RedHat 8 box. I need to mount a share from a PC that is on a domain that the linux box is not a part of. Normally with another PC you would specify your username as DOMAIN\user, how do I do this with smbmount? I've looked at the documentation, google, etc. I can't find anything. Is this even possible? Here's what I've tried: smbmount //dd192/PM

Hi, Iam using Red hat linux 6.1 with samba version 2.0.7 .I had compiled and used it,and also used the patch given for smbmount.c by Urban.But Strangely the smbmount version is still version 2.0.5a.Is this the correct version for smbmount since i thought when i upgraded samba from 2.0.5a to 2.0.7 smbmount would also be upgraded.Because iam still facing some problems in using smbmount.If iam

Hello Family, In creating an iso to boot the headless/cardless server, I've got isolinux to boot the system OK but still can't get the output to export to /dev/ttyS0 I've got a test script that pipes a "Hello World" to /dev/ttyS0 which show up fine on the other Linux box so I know that tunnel is intact. Here is the contents of my "isolinux.cfg" file that is

Hi I have two different distributions running, RedHat 6.0 and Slackware 7.0. Both machines are running Samba 2.05a. When I try the smbmount command on the RedHat machine, it has no problem mounting the smb service. RedHat 6.0: works: smbmount //win95machine/c /mnt/c failed: smbmount "\\win95\c" -c `mount /mnt/c -u 123 -g 456` Slacware 7.0: failed: smbmount //win95machine/c /mnt/c

I have built, installed, and run 2.0.6 successfully without smbmount, but want to do it with this time. I know that it's not part of samba, but am hoping someone can tell me if I'm making a simple mistake. It's possible that it's not even samba related. I'm a novice at this and have not gotten very good at figuring out what's wrong when something doesn't build

For long time I used to smbmount my windows-xp share from my SuSE-Linux machine with smbmount from samba 2.2.12. Now I changed to debian-linux with samba 3.0.13. The smbmount-cmd: ' smbmount //winxp/share /unix-dir -o username=user,password=xxx,ro' returns no error. with 'mount' I see the mounted win-share. But when I try a 'ls /unixdir' I get a 'Permission

I'm trying to periodically mount an XP share on my linux box, and I've noticed that smbmount doesn't return a value so I can't test for success in my shell script: #!/bin/bash smbmount //NonsenseShare /bad/mnt/point || echo "error with smbmount" In this case smbmount silently fails. I searched the archives and found a couple of messages about smbmount demonizing

hi ya samba-gurus.. I'm currently using Linux-2.0.35 to backup NT boxes... linux-2.0.35 + smbmount-2.0.1 works find for things like smbmount //NT/C /NT_mnt ...etc... find /NT_mnt -mtime -1 | tar zcvf /backup/foo.tgz -T - but it fails miserabley on linux-2.2.5 w/ smbmount-2.0.x w/ smbd-2.0.3 ( smbmount from smbfs and samba-2.0.3 ) - some linux programs will change all your time stamps on

We have downloaded the samba 2.0.5a source from net and tried to compile with the smbmount option, which is what we need for mounting.

I think that I have found what I consider a bug using smbmount 2.0.05a that came with linux 6.1, and also have a question at the end of this e-mail. I can successfully mount a shared drive from a windows NT machine using the following format. smbmount //computername/sharedfolder /mountpoint -U username%password I can manipulate folders and files from the linux computer with no problem.
