Hi ! I'm having trouble trying to mount a win2k share from my linux box with the mount command. My linux box is a RH 7.2 and samba version is 2.2.4. It is part of the windows domain 'VALBONE' and the smb.conf option "winbind use default domain" is set to yes. So when the user slautier log into the machine, it does it without specifying the domain name. slautier is a member

Hi ! The O'Reilly "Using Samba" book, recommend not to include smbmount support as it is for Linux only: "This feature wasn't being maintained at the time the book was written, so the Samba team made it an optional feature and provided smbwrapper instead. The smbwrapper feature works on more Unix platforms than smbmount, so you'll usually want to use --with-smbwrapper

Hi ! I'm runing a linux redhat 7.2 box with samba 2.2.4. I've downloaded the samba source in order to install it with the needed compilation options (--with-smbwrapper --with-automount --with-smbmount --with-pam ...). Samba is now up and running but I would like to build an rpm with this compiled version. Any idea of how to transform this samba compiled version to a rpm package ?

Hi ! I would like to setup ACL on my RH7.2 box to be able to set/check permissions on SMB shares (linux-samba and win2k). Which file system type to use: XFS, DFS ?

All, For a bunch of good reasons ;), my company thinks of getting rid of our win2k DC and replacing it with a linux RH 7.3 box with samba 2.2.4 or 2.2.5. Before starting working on that, I would like to gather some basic informations. We've got solaris 2.8, linux and win2k clients machines. LDAP: I understand that I need to setup an LDAP server which will replace the win2k Active Directory

Hi! How do I create a mountpoint with smbmount, that attaches to \\server\share\dir (on a Windows 2000 server) ?? If I mount to \\server\share I'm not able to see anything - but the mapping to the same server (from a Win2000 client) is okay, and I can see the contents of the directory... Trying to map to //server/share/dir gives me an error: 24402: tree connect failed: ERRDOS -

> From there, you can use smbmount to mount SMB shares (from > Windows systems or Samba servers) in your Linux filesystem. smbmount works fine : $ smbmount //DOMAIN_controler/sharedir /home/toto/smb -o credentials=/home/win2k/DOMAIN/toto/.smbpw,uid='DOMAIN+toto',gid='DOMAIN+Domain users',fmask=664,dmask=775 The user toto is a domain user authenticated from the Win2k server.

Hi, I'm running a linux RedHat 7.2 box with samba 2.2.4. I want to use winbind for authentification. The samba server is a member server in a W2K domain. I followed the steps in the winbind help which comes with the samba distribution (http://localhost:901/swat/help/winbind.html). Joining the domain was successfull: $ smbpasswd -j DOMAIN -r PDC -U toto | INFO: Debug class all level = 100

Hi ! Has anybody already managed to make pam_mount and winbind working together ? I'm running a linux 7.2 box with samba 2.2.4. I use winbind for user authentication from a win2k server (DEDALE in domain VALBONE). The following command works fine: $ smbmount //DEDALE/SHAREDIR \ /mnt/smb/dedale/sharedir/ -o \

Hi ! toto is a win2k domain user member of group 'Domain Users'. I've added the following line to my /etc/fstab file for the win2k share to be mounted at system boot: //DERVER/SHARE /mnt/smb smbfs credentials=/home/toto/.smbpw,uid=toto, gid='Domain users',fmask=664,dmask=775 0 0 But the mount command failed with error: | [mntent]: line 9 in /etc/fstab is bad

Hi ! Sorry to bother you but as you're pretty close to what I would like to do with samba, maybe you could help me to answer the above questions. As I guess you're both in a hurry, I don't ask you long technical explanations. Just theorical informations to get a good understanding of what I am going to do. Thanks a bundle in advance.

My original thread had the incorrect subject line. The original trouble / question remains open and unsolved. Greetings- I am working through coming up with a Linux client integration to Samba PDC's. I mount several shares with this sort of syntax: /bin/mount -t cifs -o credentials=/home/userid/.smbcredentials,uid=userid,gid=userid,dmask=0777,fmask=0666 //ldslnx01/data /mnt/ldslnx01/data/

Hi all, I've googled on this but no luck so far. I'm using FC4. This works flawlessly: Mount -t smbfs //host/share /var/mount/hostname/sharename -o username=username,password=password,domain=DOMAIN,fmask=0777,dmask=0777 However, it fails in fstab when I do: //host/share /var/mount/hostname/sharename smbfs username=username,password=password,domain=DOMAIN,fmask=0777,dmask=0777 0 0

Hi, I`ve got a problem with samba and /etc/fstab. I have a second computer running Windows XP SP2 with Western Digital MyBook USB2 external hard disk attached. The Disk is shared over windows network with a label "My Book (J)". I can manually mount this samba resource by typing "sudo mount -t smbfs -o fmask=777,dmask=777,guest '//win/My Book (J)' /media/MyBook", but

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

Hello. I hope that this is the proper place to ask this. Here is my problem. I have several smbmounts under Red Hat Linux 5.1. They need to be accessed by my apache web server. One of the mounts keeps getting disconnected, but this is not noticed by Linux. So the Linux box thinks that the files under the smbmount are still accessable when they aren't actually mounted. What would be the best

Hi all, I have set up an LTSP environment (www.ltsp.org) for a small group of users who have migrated from WinXP. As part of the setup, and during the transition, I have created a number of folders in each user's home directory which are mapped via SMBMOUNT to the NT domain controller's home directories, and various shared data folders. When each user logs into X, a script is run

Hi all. Very simple question, hopefully with a very simple answer.... Here's my problem... I'm mounting a Windows98(se) share (yes, with full permissions, no password) onto my Linux box. Mounts just fine, all users can read from it perfectly. However, NO users except for root can write to the share! How can I fix this? Here's my mount line for the share from /etc/fstab:
