Hi all, A while ago I posted about needing to access samba shares on the same machine that the samba server was running on. Someone posted a script to mount the shares and all was well till I upgraded my PC hadware and had a small accident :( I have tried modifing /etc/init.d/samba adding ... mount -t smbfs //127.0.0.1/common /mnt/samba/common -o

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, 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

First time samberer :) I have a home network, samba server running on kubuntu, wifes system running kubuntu and company laptop running XP. To start with I want to just share files. I can read files in shares from my wifes system but no matter what I do I cannot add files to the mounted share. I get 'cannot create regular file .... no such file or directory', even though the mounted

We are having a problem remounting a Windows network share. Our server is running RHEL4 ES that mounts a Windows network shares as a drive. The Windows network shares are on Windows 2003 servers. The network share can be mounted but when the Windows 2003 servers are rebooted, the mounted drives goe down. I try to reissue the mount commands but it doesn't work, it sits there and eventually

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, 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

> 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.

I have a small LAN: SuSE 7.2 with Samba 3.0 and a W2K box. What I can do: I can create shares from the W2K box that make files from the Linux box visible. I can also manually mount (using % smbmount ... ) from the command line as root. Here is where I run into problems. The only way I can mount a partition via smbmount is if I use the username=user%passwd option. If I attempt to setup a .smbpw

I am running a Samba fileserver (Redhat//pandora/pub /mnt/pub smbfs credentials=/etc/samba/smb.auth,uid=1000,gid=100,fmask=666,dmask=777,debug=9 0 0 9 kernel: 2.4.20-24.7, smbd ver: 3.0.0). I am now trying to mount a share on this server on another Linux machine (SuSE 9.1 kernel 2.6.5-7.108, smbmount ver. 3.0.7). I would like to have the share automattically mount on startup using an /etc/fstab

I am trying to connect to a samba server (hosted by a unix platform; for which I have also ftp and telnet access). I have problems with accents in filenames: when I issue the command mount -t smbfs -o 'username=oesser,password=xxxxxxxx,iocharset=iso8859-1,codepage=iso8859-1,uid=oesser,gid=oesser,dmask=700,fmask=700' //nestor.ulb.ac.be/oesser /mnt/nestor all works fine but if I put

I'm wanting to mount a Windows share from a Windows 2003 Server to a Fedora Core 2 using Samba. I run the following mount command (as root), which terminates with a 0 return code, but when I attempt to look at the mounted filesystem with df or ls, I get a "Permission denied" error. Here is the mount command (with user/pwd/machine altered) and debug level 4... mount -t smbfs -o

I am having difficulty with Windows shares mounted with smb on my linux machine. The mount directory will not have write permissions for anyone, no matter what. The mount directory that I use is /home/samba. It has 0700, or drwx------ permissions when it is not connected to Samba. It is owned by the user jhall, and the group root. When I mount it, if I use dmask 0777, I get dr-xr-xr-x. If I use

Hi! I've got a problem with write access on samba fileshares mounted via fstab on two Debian Sarge servers. These servers are behind firewalls and can only access each other, so security is not an issue. They are configured as follows: I'll use placeholders for IP-adresses, usernames, passwords etc. just out of paranoia, I do know, that these IPs do not make sense ;) the servers are

By the way, the wait-period before the write access is "committed" or whatever is always precisely 30 seconds, so I believe, that there may be some timeout issue before samba is actually doing what it's supposed to do. Has anybody got an idea? > -----Urspr?ngliche Nachricht----- > Von: samba-bounces+markus.wollny=computec.de@lists.samba.org >

Hi, I'm having some odd problems with samba in combination with fam. On my linux system I have mounted some partitions that are shared by a Win2k machine on my LAN. With any GUI filemanager using fam I can create files and directories, but I can't delete directories, only files. If I try to delete a directory, it just doesn't work. If I try to delete a directory containing files,

I have an smb service set up on a box on my home network, and it currently works fine with the mp3 folder I share out accross the lan. However, I recently decided to add a share for my web site so i could make site updates/changes from any other box in the house rather than having to go to the server to make content changes. The relevant bita of my smb.conf file look like this: [mp3] path =

Hello I am connecting to an NT server via a Linux client. I am mounting the drive on the client via the following in smbfstab: //server/Users /home/dm215/Desktop/SambaBringover smbfs username=user,password=pass,suid,uid=1000,gid=100,fmask=770,dmask=770,rw It works fine except the local user uid=1000 cannot write to certain directories. The initial directory (//server/Users) is writable by

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/

Hello, I am trying to work out the file locking mechanism on our Samba server when connecting from Linux clients. I am getting some strange behaviour in a mixed Linux/Windows environment when multiple clients open/lock the same file for writing. Everything seems fine when a Windows client creates the lock, but if a Linux client creates the lock, we get either two or more Linux clients being able
