similar to: Trouble mounting a windows share from Linux

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

I try to understand how works SMBMOUNT, by reading the man page. Could you please send me an exemple, to help me to understand ? tahnks and bye -- Eric Rapilly, 24 rue des jeaunauds, ROMEGOUX 17250 05 46 92 88 90

Hi, I'm running Linux 2.2.2 w/ Samba 2.0.2, using the smbmount that comes with Samba 2.0.2. I noticed that when I mount shares, smbmount sticks around, almost like a daemon: [root@jason /root]# smbmount //XXXX.gatech.edu/XXXX$ "XXXXXX" -U jkau -c "mount /mnt/cnd" < /dev/null > /tmp/smbmount.out [root@jason /root]# ps ax | grep smbmount 10678 ?

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

I am having a problem letting users mount there samba shares. The root user has no problem mounting . But regular users get the error "mount: only root can do that " when trying to execute the following. mount -rw -t smbfs //jelly-bean-iii/E /home/ca43887/E Any help is appreciated. Thanks, Charles

I've spent the last 2 days trying to get smbfs to mount via fstab. Using redhat 7.3 and the latest samba as of 7/17/02. I can mount from the command line using smbmount as follows: smbmount //localhost/wwwshare /smbwww -o username=smbuser,password=xxxxxxxx I can not mount from the command line using: mount -t smbfs -o username=smbuser,password=xxxxxxxx //localhost/wwwshare /smbwww The

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

I've seen several references to running smbmount from /etc/fstab, but I've never seen an example. Does anyone have an example fstab entry that does this? Thanks Steve Litt

If I wanted to set up a single Linux workstation on a Windows NT-based network, should I use Samba? If not, then how would I go about doing it? Thank you, Shawn

Hi there, after browsing the mailing list archives for several hour I still couldn't find an answer to my problem, although it for sure sounds as if many people posted the same problem. Yet, none of the threads dealing with problems like these matched my problem, so I have to start a new thread on my own. This is my system environment: Linux machine: - Mandrake Linux 8.1 - samba-2.2.1a

Is there any way to use/build smbmount on a HP-UX system? If not, is there an alternitive methods to read/write file to a windows server from a HP-UX machine? Thanks, Jerry S. Horton

If I also use Samba packages (2.2.4) from RedHat Rawhide - everyhting works Here is detailed description I have submitted to RH

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.

I am trying to mount a Windows share on my Linux machine at boot time. I tried using the same syntax in /etc/fstab that is in /etc/mtab, but this did not work. Here is the mtab entry: //DELL-4400/linux /root/mnt/DELL-4400/linux smbfs 0 0 Barry

All ok. However in the other 50% the command just hangs. If i open a new window it did do

Hi ! The O'Reilly "Using Samba" book, recommend not to include smbmount support as it is for Linux only: "This feature wasn't being maintained at the time the book was written, so the Samba team made it an optional feature and provided smbwrapper instead. The smbwrapper feature works on more Unix platforms than smbmount, so you'll usually want to use --with-smbwrapper
