I recently reinstalled RH8 as a VMware guest on a WinXP box. I used a previously proven script at level 3, containing, in one line with no inappropriate spaces: mount -t smbfs -o user,noauto,dmask=777,fmask=777,username=xx, password=yy //DELLBOX/linuxShare /mnt/linuxShare I get a failure that reports numerous possibilities including bad fs, and other other things. I suspect I omitted a

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

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

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

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. 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:

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

Hi all, Hoping someone might be able to steer me in the right direction and/or help me solve my problem. We have a number of Linux servers (RH6.2 -> RH8) which connect to the same share on a Win2000 Server. We've been working kinda hard to get everything upgraded to either RH7.3 or RH8.0 since we rarely get the opportunity. 2 similar servers (one dev, one prod) access this same window

Hi, I have an small network with SUSE 9.1 and trying to use samba. I was reading a lot of papers about samba, but i cannot do something i need. In my computer i have a directory named cotiza owned by user4(me) with the group users and mode 765. M users list there're user1, user2, user3 and user4 all of them with users group.

I need to mount a samba share as mode 777, so all users can read/write/delete/create. I have this as fstab entry //host/public /mnt/home smbfs auto,uid=user,umask=000,defaults,username=Perkins,password= see, i've had to put uid=user just to get it owned by user user, so i could edit files i put mode=777, but it does nothing. i want to let all users read/write/create/delete

Greetings in Christ our Saviour. I am having an enormous amount of difficulties trying to do something that should be quite easy. Obviously, I am missing something. I have read everything I can find on this, and have tried everything I can think of and more... I am trying to mount a Win98 drive on my Redhat 7.0 box. The mounting is no problem. However, when I log into my user account and try

I've posted here with this problem before, and while several people DID try to help, nothing seems to work! Here's the situation (again): I have a Linux box (Mandrake 7.0) running Samba (2.0.6) compiled from source. I can mount/read/write the linux shares just fine, but when trying to write to my Win98 shares (which mount perfectly), I get "permission denied". This only

Local software is: samba-client-2.0.7-4 samba-common-2.0.7-4 samba-2.0.7-4 on RH 6.2 plus fixes, kernel is 2.2.16-3 NT server is 4.0 SP4 As root I can mount an NT share onto the Linux system: /usr/bin/smbmount '//ntserver/myshare' /mnt/test -o username=mylinuxuser,password=something,uid=myntuser,workgroup=CMP But the mount point gets forced to mode 555 instead of 755. It's not an NT

Hi list, I've installed samba 2.2.3a on my Linux box. I have to join into an NT4 domain and all works fine. I've got only a question: Now I'm able to mount the NT share with the command: mount -t smbfs -o username=morgan,password=morgan //SERVERNT/DISC /mnt and it works only if I am root. Is there any possibility of mounting it automatically on boot? I've tough about /etc/fstab but

-----BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE----- Hash: SHA1 I have seen a weird problem in one of my clients. The reported that when issuing a smbmount command (both client and server are CentOS 4.4), it would take up to 30 second for the mount to complete. To make a long history short, by using strace and the source, I noticed smbmnt is first calling mount() using ascii options for *data. Then that would

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
