Hi there, How do I automate smbmnt so that when logging on, it mounts the required shared directories on an NT4.0 file system using the user name and password I used t gain access to the GUI ? I s this possible. I am currently running Network Neighborhood and have been using this application for access but this requires that I scan mount and log-on again before gaining access to that share.

Can someone tell me how to set up a mount to occur automatically on login? I have one directory per user on a Win network and I'd like each user to get his own directory mounted when he logs in. (Automounting on boot is ok, too). This is on Caldera eDesktop 2.4 with Samba 2.0.6. I can find and mount each directory just fine when logged in as root, but smbmount does not do the job when

I have a problem mounting Samba shares with recent mount packages from RedHat and Samba packages from samba site. I have tried samba-2.2.4 RPM and samba-2.2.5 (built for RH7.2). In all cases mount fails if I use RH mount package version > 2.11b (current is 2.11n). If I also use Samba packages (2.2.4) from RedHat Rawhide - everyhting works Here is detailed description I have submitted to RH

Dudes and/or Dudettes: HEEELLLPPP! (such a newbie statement) I can't get my remote SMB mounts to work on my Linux box. duke was happily running Slackware Linux 2.0.36 and Samba 1.9.18p8 . I upgraded to Linux 2.2.0pre9 (2.2.0final), which seemed to require upgrading to Samba 2.0.0 . (I don't remember the exact errors) Now i can't get my NT and '95 disks to stay mounted on

I am new to samba and I have two questions. I have a linux box connected to a box running windows 98. Windows is set to share-level access control. 1. How do I allow nonroot users to "smbmount"? 2. When I mount a share as root, root has full access to the share, however, a nonroot user has read-only access. How do I allow a regular user to have full access to a share? Thanks

Hi! I first reported this issue as http://bugs.gentoo.org/136272 Mounting windows shares as a normal user causes quite a lot of trouble for me, using samba 3.0.22. I have this entry in my /etc/fstab: > //workstation/share /mnt/mountpoint smbfs \ > user,noauto,username=un,password=pwd,uid=un,gid=users,\ > fmask=660,dmask=770,codepage=850 0 0 With a root owned mount point I

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() -

Hi, after trying sshfs to mount a remote file system on a server with the result that sshfs will sooner or later get stuck and require a reboot of the client, I'm fed up with it and am looking for alternatives. So next I would like to use NFS over a VPN connection instead. To minimize the instances of the NFS mount getting stuck, it might be helpful to use autofs. What happens when the

When i go to Yast Control center i can see that the user log in is set to /bin/bash and this is the default. Is this what you meant? Where else to find smbmnt? 'coz when i try to open up /usr/bin/smbmnt it tells me that "COULD NOT FIND THE PROGRAM smbmnt. rgds, Segie On Tuesday 23 March 2004 14:22, you wrote: > Are you sure that smbmnt is /usr/bin ? > > >

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,

Hello, I don't know if this is bug-worthy or not It can be fixed in numerous places, but I think it might make the most sense to do it here.... kinit uses /dev/root to mount the rootfs. In normal userspace, this causes the root system to be displayed twice in apps like Nautilus, as /proc/mounts lists rootfs on /dev/root, in addition to the real info (e.g. ext3 on /dev/hda3). This is

Hi all i have downloaded samba 3.0.21c.tar.gz and trying to install on Redhat enterprise Linux 4 with kernel version 2.6.9-5 smp , i tried samba with following options. and while doing make it's giving error. ./configure --prefix=/usr/local/samba-3c --bindir=/usr/local/samba-3c/bin --sbindir=/usr/local/samba-3c/sbin --libexec=/usr/local/samba-3c/libexec --datadir=/usr/local/samba-3c/share

I'm trying to set up a Samba mount point to a WinME computer so that a user can mount the file system.

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

Hello all, I read in the smbmnt man page that: "A setuid smbmnt will only allow mounts on directories owned by the user, and that the user has write permission on." I am trying to set up a mount on /mnt/laptop. I have given my users 777 permissions on the directory, but it is owned by root. Is there any way that I can work around this. It appears from the man page that smbmnt

This patch was sent to me by Urban Widmark <urban@teststation.com> (thanks Urban!). It allows me to mount remote Win shares to my Linux box automatically. I'm using kernel automounter. The problem was that I have a ro root fs and my /etc/mtab isn't writable (symlinked to /proc/mounts). Patch adds -n and -o nomtab options for smbmount. -o nomtab was particularly useful for me. I

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

Hi whenever i try to mount a samba share which is a samba server i get an error message that says "smbmnt must be installed suid root for direct mounts(500, 500) smbmnt failed1" On that note i tried to run "smbmount" as root but this did't work out. i also tried to run smbmnt as root, up to now my problem was not solved. Anybody there who can help please? Thanks.

yes another Linix newbie.. :) I'm wanting to mount a shared folder on an NT file server. The network includes a NT PDC, NT file server, 98 machines and the one Linux box. I've found a lot of HOWTO's on Samba but most are in the direction of Samba being the server not the client. I can mount the share with smbmount //server/share /mnt/mountpoint and then supplying the password, but
