similar to: How to automount windows share?

Hello, I have a RedHat 7.3 workstation and have created a samba mount to my samba server. Everything seems to be working ok, but when I reboot my RH workstation the mount is not reestablished. I believe the problem is that when I reboot the machine the samba share is not unmounted. After rebooting the machine when I run smbstatus on the samba server it indicates the mount is still active.

Hi. I'm getting messages to the effect: Inetd: /usr/local/samba/lib/nmbd: Hangup Last messages repeat 319 times I start samba from inetd. Should I be starting it as a daemon or starting it in init.d? If starting it as a daemon in in init.d, does someone have a script that can let me use? I'm running samba on an a Sun E450, with Solaris 2.7. Thanks. grant

I have a similar line in my network script, for the same reason. THIS problem is different. I cannot umount those shares after the windows machine goes down, no matter what commands I try.

I have set up Samba so that all users on my small network can read from my one of my Linux shares as well as write to that share. However, when user A saves a file to that share, user B can't open it -- and vice versa. How can I set up samba so that all files written to that share can be read, modified, and deleted by all users? Thanks in advance for an answer to this question.

Has anyone ever written a script to remove individual shares from the smb.conf file? I am trying to put together a script that will add & remove multiple shares at once by giving a <sharelist as input to the script. Adding shares is easy because I can just append the shares to the smb.conf file, but removing individual share entries within the smb.conf file without messing up the

I've noticed that my W2K clients connect to Samba much more quickly if I run it on port 445 instead of 139. However, my WNT clients then won't connect at all. I read somewhere that it was possible to forward the requests on port 139 to port 445. Anyone know how to do this or how to listen to both ports simultaneously? Thanks, Jason Joines Open Source = Open Mind

can someone please tell me why everyone else can connect to my samba server but me? I mean I even went as far as installing a new OS ("down-graded" back to win2k). I really need help trying to figure out why. If someone can help me in figuring that out, please let me know. And by the way...I already tried the router thing....same issue. So the router doesnt matter because I disabled the

I'm trying to connect to swat but can't. Just installed Samba 2.2.2-5 and edited /etc/services, even though I'm running Redhat 7.3 and use xinetd. /etc/xinetd/swat exists.... but I still cannot connect to http://localhost:901. Why??? Thanks for assist.

hey I am running Samba 2.2.8 on FreeBSD4.8, and all is working well, except: I have set up a virtual printer using Samba to take a print job, turn it into a pdf and then email it back to an address, using a perl script and the Samba print command. I have tested the script logging in as the Samba guest user and it works fine, but when i try to print to the printer it never works: the script is

Hi, after updating our printserver from Samba V2.0.6 to V2.2.7 I encountered the following problem. Samba does not execute the (root) pre- and postexec within the printers section. If you are using these command in another section everything works fine. Does anybody know if these command are not supported in the printers section anymore? smb.conf: [global] ... load printers = yes lpq cache

Sorry, that should be RedHat 7.0. (Not that it should matter.) -----Original Message----- Client is Windows NT 4.0 SP6a and Adobe Photoshop 5.0. Server is RedHat 7.1, kernel 2.4.7 plus ACL 0.7.13. Samba 2.2.2.

Doing a little shell scripting with smbclient and noticed that smbclient -N -L host only displays the first 13 charachters of the sharename. Since that is totally crippled feel like I must be missing something obvious, but can't track it down. Any pointers on getting FULL sharenames using smbclient? Thanks for the help - AZ

I am attempting to get printing services for Windows 2000 clients working with Samba on a Red Hat 7.2 box. The problem is I can not cancel print jobs (either from a PC or the local smb client). File sharing, and printing other than this problem, work fine. Here is a listing of configuration and system info: 1) the samba packages installed, 2) output of "uname -a", 3) the

I had a problem with Samba 2.2.5 with the printers being permanantly paused to Windows machines. They could print OK - it was only the status that was wrong. The reason for this was because I had used the word office in the printer name / comment. This was causing the parser which recognises the printer status to find 'off' pausing the printer. A quick fix for this is to replace the
