similar to: SMBMOUNT: process freezes on file copy

Using 2.2.1a and a 2.4 kernel patched for win4lin. Everything is working but: I mount all the available network shares on my linux box as root to one network directory. If a windows client shuts down while the linux box is still connected, the share is not removed from my mount list or from /proc/mounts It cannot be removed with umount. I can kill the smbmount with kill -15 but the share is still

Nevermind...need to read the whole msg... I didn't notice you were installing WINS on the NT box...hence the reboot. Standard practice for Winxx: 1. Install, reboot 2. Update, reboot, repeat.... I support about 25 pc's-it annoys the hell out of me how MS manages updates. How many Internet Explorer security updates have there been so far this year-22? Each one of them requires a

Hey all, As most of you know, I've been having problems (hopefully solved by now, won't know until friend is able to reshare his box) with SAMBA over the internet. On my local area network, I am using SAMBA for a one way connection just fine. my question is as follows. Can I make an fstab entry so I can mount the XP share whenever I boot? The reason I ask is because currently Wine

Hi there, we have a customer with some old Windows 98 stuff. The network has been migrated to a 2008 domain and Windows 98 won't authenticate (and thus can not access shares, also all computer names (DC's / fileservers) are longer than 8 characters). Figured I would mount the shares on the fileservers on a linux box (ubuntu 10.04 LTS 64 bit server) and then export them again through

Hi, I have a situation in the office where I temporarily need to provide additional clients access to a share on a Windows 2000 Professional box. 2000 Pro seems to only allow 5 clients to connect to a share and there is no faclity to allow more as best I can tell. Upgrading isn't really an option and as I said, this is a temporary need. I have a linux box as a gateway so I decided to map the

Hi all, Our company uses a buggy piece of appraisal software called ACI Rapid Report. We recently switched from Netware 3.1 to Samba 2.0.4b for file serving, and since then have been unable to create new documents in ACI. Before creating a new document, ACI forms a list of all .aci files in the "data" directory. Locally, this takes a few seconds. On Netware, it took about a minute.

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, I'm looking for some (user & technical) feedback on a change I'm considering on how mount and smbmount works together. The current way mounts are done are: mount -t smbfs ... => smbmount ... => smbmnt Possibly without the mount step. smbmount stays as a daemon and reconnects when asked (unless it crashes). Problems: - Some mount options should affect if the mount

Hi all, Hoping someone might be able to steer me in the right direction and/or help me solve my problem. We have a number of Linux servers (RH6.2 -> RH8) which connect to the same share on a Win2000 Server. We've been working kinda hard to get everything upgraded to either RH7.3 or RH8.0 since we rarely get the opportunity. 2 similar servers (one dev, one prod) access this same window

Hello urban, While trying samba we've found some errors. Windows machine has 866 code page (we are from Russia), and Linux - 1251. smbclient works fine and show all the coding as it should. 1. smbmount checks argc, argv too late to set debug level at a proper time. 2. Some parameters are ignored despite --help option and man pages. They include codepage and iocharset options. 3.

I'm using Urban Widmark's smbfs/Linux kernel patch (2.2.14) to display iso-8859-1 characters in file names on NT mounts. The patch works fine for me; I'm only wondering if and when it will be integrated into the Linux kernel. After all, NLS is an essential feature and not just nice-to-have for all non-anglophone users... Yes, I know this is a bit off-topic on this list, but there

Dear Gurus, We're having bizarre problems/behaviour. Admittedly we have an unusual set-up: - users on linux desktops (RedHat/KDE) mounting files over SMB using samba-2.2.5-10 -client and -common rpms. - files are on a SAN, clustered behind 2 netware servers (6.5), wihch run the cifs.nlm (netware guy has gone home - can't tell you the version just now) Files are spontaneously

Hi, I have RH6.2 with kernel 2.4.1smp, create file 2GB on the ext2fs not problem, but copy datafile>2GB over smb not function:( , where is mistake ? thank you jirka

Greetings. I am attempting to configure a SAMBA server to act as a "gateway" server and am having some issues. Any assistance or clarification would be greatly appreciated. Our company has need to connect to remote CIFS server, running SAMBA, hosted by a remote company. To do this, I am attempting to mount the remote share to a local server and then reshare this back out to our

Dear Samba Developers, Dear Urban, This was my original letter. I hope you get it correctly this time. Maybe it was too big, now I reduced the size of this letter. My goal is to make a Linux fileserver up and running with automatic archiving functionality in a mixed Windows 2000 - Linux network and since the beginning of February I could not solve my problem, so I write to you hoping that you

Hello all This patch tries to remove a few bugs from smbmount. It would be nice to get some testing+feedback on this from others using smbmount and possibly get these things fixed for the next release of samba. It does the following: * Change lib/debug.c to allow changing your mind on being interactive. A second call to setup_logging should now replace the effects of a previous call. (hmm,

Hi, I have been quite surprised at the largeness of the winbind memory leak. I have an awk script which checks this every n-minutes and sends me an alert when it exceeds a specified threshold. See below for some sample data. This is RH6.2 with Samba 2.2.2 and about 25 users. What I was wondering is whether there is any issues with killing and restarting winbind whilst samba is running at full

I just recently installed OpenSSH 2.5.1p1 on a RH6.2 box (kernel 2.2.17). I run ipchains to do packet filtering, allowing incoming connections only to 22 and 80 (and some other ports for specific machines). I was able to run prior versions of openssh in this fashion (I've run it from the first release, I think). Upon installing 2.5.1p1 I found that my attempts to connect hang, here is ssh
