similar to: mount_smbfs on freebsd 4.6 is it browken?

Hi all ! I have a little problem here mounting or browsing samba shares. I have a FreeBSD 4.6.2 running samba, and a share on that called public. when I try to mount that share it asks for password, and then gives an error: ex. libra# mount_smbfs //maxi@samba/public /mnt Password: mount_smbfs: can't get handle to requester (no /dev/nsmb* device) libra# I can list the shares with

All, First off I would like to say the book "The Official Samba-3 HowTO and Reference Guide" is awesome I purchased it off Amazon a couple of weeks ago. Ok now on to my problem. I have samba installed and configured and joined the domain no problem. When I run wbinfo -u I can see my domain users, when I run wbinfo -g I can see all my domain groups, BUT if I run

Hi, I am trying to get samba 3.0.7 working with our win2k DC. I installed samba from the ports collection, so the kerberos library looks to be the heimdel version. I can use kinit to create a ticket and it authenticates against the DC just fine. However when I attempt to use "net ads join" it fails with the following response: [2004/11/09 16:32:30, 0] utils/net_ads.c:ads_startup(183)

Hey this group uses exchange for the mailing list? This can't be true what is with all the virus warnings saying it came from exchange. But not only that it said it was deleted and that is not true when the mail reached me it still had the virus attached and my virus scanner deleted it. When these messages are sent to the group aren't they scanned before being sent to the list? Just

All, I have been terribly pleased with openbsd 3.2 I was using it as a mail/samba server with postifx on a pentium pro 200 with 1 gig of memory. Well I wanted to add a larger harddrive than what I have in it now only 6.4 gig. Well the machine would not see it and for some reason after hours and hours of trying I can't get a tekram 395UW and a 18gig scsi to be the boot drive and having failed

All I will try to keep this short but I can't get any of my windows boxes to join the domain they include winXP, win2k, win9x. Server FreeBSD 4.5 Samba from Ports 2.2.2 Celery 400 with 512 meg of ram 120gig of Raid 5 U2W drives I added the machine names to samba in freebsd you must use vipw because there is no adduser plus it has a hard time with the $ at the end of the machine

Thanks to Will Saxon I'm finally able to mount Samba shares on my 5.1-R box using the command mount_smbfs -I 129.197.36.34 -W acct01 //bfosdick@129.197.36.34/net-11 /sp/net-11 which then prompts me for my password. So now the question is...how do I put this in /etc/fstab? What do I do about the password?

All I got my samba server to join my win2k domain without any problems. But if I change the config to read security=domain it prompts the user for a username and password. If I change it to security=server it does not prompt for user names. I did some searching in the list came up with a few emails and this website http://www.sugoi.org/bits/index.php?bit_id=10 but still no change. In the /etc/host

I have been pulling my hairs out about this for a while now. Running the latest version of SuSE with all patches applied, I have my machine joined to the domain no problem. But when I go to use mount -t smbfs I get this error. Mounting share failed, smbmnt must be installed suid root for direct user mounts (1000,1000) smbmnt failed:1 Of course I hit Google and the list archives first before

Can someone look at my config and let me know why my home drive might not be mapping everything else is working, also can someone point me to some docs to say exactly what the best practice is for setting permissions on the profiles share. # Global parameters [global] workgroup = DIGITALRAGE netbios name = HARRIER encrypt passwords = Yes update encrypted =

Hello All: I have a situation where I have a Samba box (RH 7.3 w/samba 2.2.4) that I set up for a client. Another consultant came along and installed a VPN using SonicWalls between the main site and a remote site. So now they want the remote users to save files on my Samba box. No problem except that the remote users can't see my local workgroup or any of the local machines. Here's

I've been running samba servers with 200+ W98 machines for some time. I'm changing to W2k and everything was going fine. I've upgraded 40 boxes. One W2k box has started announcing itself as a local master browser for one of the workgroups. A samba server thinks it is master, forcing election. Samba will stop being the LMB for about 3 minutes and then will re-establish itself as

I have seen a ton of messages on the list in the archives in reference to this but have not been able to find an answer to it.

Hello, I've got a FreeBSD 5.5 box running Samba 3.0.21 and every-time I try to do a "mount -t smbfs -o username=username,password=password // server/share /mnt/folder" I get the error "smbfs: -o username=: option not supported". I've google'd this with no luck... any help in the right direction is appreciated. --- Jason Zondor

Has anyone else seen this but I just came across this on google trying to research my problem. Hi, I've always found adding w2k workstations to a samba server a bit 'hit and miss'. A couple of things I did which helped around this problem when I had it: 1. Define root as a samba administrator 2. Created a user root (with same password) on the w2k machine - set as an

Good morning all and hope you all enjoyed the 4th. I have a FreeBSD box setup with Samba as a PDC for win9x win2k and winxp. Everything is working beautifully except for one thing, my win2k boxes and winxp boxes with profiles. Of course I had to have the profiles directory setup for win2k and xp clients to join the domain for some reason they were looking for that. Anyway on to the problem

I know 5.1 isn't considered part of -stable, but it doesn't really seem like -current either, so I'm asking here. If this is the wrong place please let me know where I should be. At work I have a 5.1-R box that I'm trying to use to mount shares from a Sun box running samba 2.2.0 as well as some Win2K boxes. Both the sun and win2k machines authenticate to the company's domain
