similar to: Anonymous access to Windows XP [pro] shares using "smbmount"

For long time I used to smbmount my windows-xp share from my SuSE-Linux machine with smbmount from samba 2.2.12. Now I changed to debian-linux with samba 3.0.13. The smbmount-cmd: ' smbmount //winxp/share /unix-dir -o username=user,password=xxx,ro' returns no error. with 'mount' I see the mounted win-share. But when I try a 'ls /unixdir' I get a 'Permission

Mark Hessling posted about this problem earlier but I (and he) have not seen any reply to his original post. I was running Samba 3.0.0 on a Redhat 7.3 server for quite a while and then recently upgraded to RHEL 3.0 and Samba 3.0.9 (3.0.10 most recently). Before the upgrade, I was able to, from the Samba server, mount shares from an XP box. After the upgrade, the mount succeeds (it shows up the

Hello! I'm mounting Windows 2000/XP disk drives from Linux RedHat 7.3 using smbmount. No problems, the disks are mounted. However, it disregards the "uid" and "gid" options and leaves the smbfs owned by "root" giving the "uid" user read-only access and not read-write as expected. Adding the "rw" doesn't help either.

Can a linux machine running samba mount a pathname within a share into a local path? I'm runing samba-3.0.20b-1 on a centos 4.1 (rhel4) box. I've tried this and it fails: smbmount //servername/home/media /mnt/media/server/ -o username=myuser,password=mypass The error is: 8465: tree connect failed: ERRDOS - ERRnosuchshare (You specified an invalid share name) When I omit the last

Hi, I use samba on Linux 2.6 and 2G over size file sharing. It seems smbmount '-o lfs' need to use with large file. but default man page doesn't say this option. I want to edit smbmount.8.xml for lfs and unicode option. I believe using mount.cifs is right way on latest Linux. But one of the implementation smb_clients tools take this lazy option. Is it right way to change of man page

I'm running samba 2.2.5 on a RedHat 8 box. I need to mount a share from a PC that is on a domain that the linux box is not a part of. Normally with another PC you would specify your username as DOMAIN\user, how do I do this with smbmount? I've looked at the documentation, google, etc. I can't find anything. Is this even possible? Here's what I've tried: smbmount //dd192/PM

Hi, Iam using Red hat linux 6.1 with samba version 2.0.7 .I had compiled and used it,and also used the patch given for smbmount.c by Urban.But Strangely the smbmount version is still version 2.0.5a.Is this the correct version for smbmount since i thought when i upgraded samba from 2.0.5a to 2.0.7 smbmount would also be upgraded.Because iam still facing some problems in using smbmount.If iam

Hi I have two different distributions running, RedHat 6.0 and Slackware 7.0. Both machines are running Samba 2.05a. When I try the smbmount command on the RedHat machine, it has no problem mounting the smb service. RedHat 6.0: works: smbmount //win95machine/c /mnt/c failed: smbmount "\\win95\c" -c `mount /mnt/c -u 123 -g 456` Slacware 7.0: failed: smbmount //win95machine/c /mnt/c

hello everyone, the old problem persists :X I'm currently running Novell Linux Desktop 9 (SP2) featuring a 2.6.5series kernel. Smbclient (3.0.14a-0.4-SUSE) seems to support signing negotiation.. at least the following command works just fine: smbclient -k -L //hostname turning signing off manually (-S off) ends up in the common error message cli_negprot: SMB signing is mandatory and we have

I have built, installed, and run 2.0.6 successfully without smbmount, but want to do it with this time. I know that it's not part of samba, but am hoping someone can tell me if I'm making a simple mistake. It's possible that it's not even samba related. I'm a novice at this and have not gotten very good at figuring out what's wrong when something doesn't build

I'm trying to periodically mount an XP share on my linux box, and I've noticed that smbmount doesn't return a value so I can't test for success in my shell script: #!/bin/bash smbmount //NonsenseShare /bad/mnt/point || echo "error with smbmount" In this case smbmount silently fails. I searched the archives and found a couple of messages about smbmount demonizing

hi ya samba-gurus.. I'm currently using Linux-2.0.35 to backup NT boxes... linux-2.0.35 + smbmount-2.0.1 works find for things like smbmount //NT/C /NT_mnt ...etc... find /NT_mnt -mtime -1 | tar zcvf /backup/foo.tgz -T - but it fails miserabley on linux-2.2.5 w/ smbmount-2.0.x w/ smbd-2.0.3 ( smbmount from smbfs and samba-2.0.3 ) - some linux programs will change all your time stamps on

We have downloaded the samba 2.0.5a source from net and tried to compile with the smbmount option, which is what we need for mounting.

I think that I have found what I consider a bug using smbmount 2.0.05a that came with linux 6.1, and also have a question at the end of this e-mail. I can successfully mount a shared drive from a windows NT machine using the following format. smbmount //computername/sharedfolder /mountpoint -U username%password I can manipulate folders and files from the linux computer with no problem. However

Hi, Thanks for answering my question on the new smbmount not working. I tried all variety of combinations on the commands you suggested, but they all simply do this: % smbmount -c //server/share 'mount /mnt/samba-share -n CLIENT -U user' Usage: smbmount service <password> [-p port] [-d debuglevel] [-l log] Version 2.0.3 -p port connect to the specified port

Howdy all: I'm trying to use smbmount to mount a win9x share and copy some files for backup, eventually to run as a script invoked via cron. I have RH6.1/samba 2.0.5a, and the windoze box is win95b. If I do the standard mount (smbmount //winbox/backup /mnt/smb04) I have to be root. Also, after it's mounted, I can't create any files there as a normal user (even though the

I see that smbmount is for Linux only. I have a need for a Solaris 8 Sun to see a Win2k shared volume, currently as read-only. So I have a few questions: - Is there a read-only capability of smbmount for Solaris 8? - Is there a Solaris 8 version of smbmount in development? Is so, when would it be released? - Can you name any commercial packages that offer the ability to mount NTFS file

Hi all: =20 As far as I know, win2k3 sp1 disable anonymous access by default. It = will remove user =A1=A7anonymous logon=A1=A8 from pre-windows 2000 = compatible access group. Under such circumstance, smbmount will not success because anonymous = access will be blocked. One way to solve the problem is to re-add = anonymous logon to pre-windows 2000 compatible access group. However, it = seems

Dear Samba Developers, Dear Urban, This was my original letter. I hope you get it correctly this time. Maybe it was too big, now I reduced the size of this letter. My goal is to make a Linux fileserver up and running with automatic archiving functionality in a mixed Windows 2000 - Linux network and since the beginning of February I could not solve my problem, so I write to you hoping that you
