Hi whenever i try to mount a samba share which is a samba server i get an error message that says "smbmnt must be installed suid root for direct mounts(500, 500) smbmnt failed1" On that note i tried to run "smbmount" as root but this did't work out. i also tried to run smbmnt as root, up to now my problem was not solved. Anybody there who can help please? Thanks.

When i go to Yast Control center i can see that the user log in is set to /bin/bash and this is the default. Is this what you meant? Where else to find smbmnt? 'coz when i try to open up /usr/bin/smbmnt it tells me that "COULD NOT FIND THE PROGRAM smbmnt. rgds, Segie On Tuesday 23 March 2004 14:22, you wrote: > Are you sure that smbmnt is /usr/bin ? > > >

Hi all, banging my head on the wall here... I think I'll never really understand codepages stuff. smbd is v 3.0.1, client is french win98 - yuk my smb.conf reads: unix charset = UTF-8 display charset = UTF-8 dos charset = CP850 when I create a folder/file with accents in it, I can create it ok, but reading proves impossible. If i create file ??????, it shows ok in the file explorer

This has been asked before but the answers haven't worked for me.I upgraded from 2.2.7 to 3.0.0. I used to connect to Windows sharesusing smbmnt in .bash_profile as a non-root user having chmod 4755smbmnt. Now this doesn't work: - smbmount won't let non-root users run it (even after a chmod) - smbmnt says "Failed to find real path for mount point" - mount -t smbfs says

Hi, I am writing a clone of the "smbmnt". This is to facilitate mounting of a smb mountpoint with a FiST-Style (stackable) file system. smbmnt.c(ver samba-2.0.7), uses fullpath() to check for the MAXPATHLEN of the mount-point specified. Unless i've made a mistake, the MAXPATHLEN is defined in "includes.h" which is of len 256. fullpath() checks this mount-point name to

Can't mount share on my linux boxes as a regular user. I have no trouble mounting shares as root. This problem occurs on both my linux boxes. All the commands I show I have run as a regular user. Here is all the data I have: smbmount \\\\JHAMMER6\\public /mnt/NetWork/JHAMMER6/public/ -o debug=6 mount.smbfs started (version 2.0.7) Initialising global parameters params.c:pm_process() -

I have a problem mounting Samba shares with recent mount packages from RedHat and Samba packages from samba site. I have tried samba-2.2.4 RPM and samba-2.2.5 (built for RH7.2). In all cases mount fails if I use RH mount package version > 2.11b (current is 2.11n). If I also use Samba packages (2.2.4) from RedHat Rawhide - everyhting works Here is detailed description I have submitted to RH

This patch was sent to me by Urban Widmark <urban@teststation.com> (thanks Urban!). It allows me to mount remote Win shares to my Linux box automatically. I'm using kernel automounter. The problem was that I have a ro root fs and my /etc/mtab isn't writable (symlinked to /proc/mounts). Patch adds -n and -o nomtab options for smbmount. -o nomtab was particularly useful for me. I

Hi all i have downloaded samba 3.0.21c.tar.gz and trying to install on Redhat enterprise Linux 4 with kernel version 2.6.9-5 smp , i tried samba with following options. and while doing make it's giving error. ./configure --prefix=/usr/local/samba-3c --bindir=/usr/local/samba-3c/bin --sbindir=/usr/local/samba-3c/sbin --libexec=/usr/local/samba-3c/libexec --datadir=/usr/local/samba-3c/share

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

Hello, I'm looking for some (user & technical) feedback on a change I'm considering on how mount and smbmount works together. The current way mounts are done are: mount -t smbfs ... => smbmount ... => smbmnt Possibly without the mount step. smbmount stays as a daemon and reconnects when asked (unless it crashes). Problems: - Some mount options should affect if the mount

Hello, I have found a solution on an other news group : uk.comp.os.linux There is a set of messages with the subject "Ordinary user to mount SAMBA share" You can read the content of that uk.comp.os.linux group through the web, the URL is http://x35.deja.com In one of the message the author wrote "After, further test. I find smbmount, unlike mount, requires the user owns the

I am having trouble mounting a smbfs mount in redhat 7.3. I have read the man pages for mount,smbmount,smbmnt, but haven't had much luck. I am thinking I am just getting the syntax wrong. If I wanted to mount a system on my network with the ip address of 192.168.0.1, What would the syntax be for this? Any info would be of much help to me, Thank-You

Hi all, I don't have any MSAccess on my machines, so I can't test it, and I would like to backup or invalidate that claim: if i have an MS Access database open by several people on a windows share (say on a w2k machine), will it be a problem backing it up on a linux backup server mounting the windows share (while it is still open and written to by the windows machines of course)?

Hi, I'm sure that you are all aware that the mount utilities that ship with samba are designed to compile and run only with Linux 2.1 series development kernels. I'll _try_ keep this short and sweet while doing my best to explain what I have done, since I have a tendancy to ramble on. I have two boxes, one Linux with libc5, and another with Linux and Glibc2 (aka libc6). The Samba

Hi all, I am trying to cross compile samba version 2.2.12 to an ARM platform (kernel 2.4.20) using arm-tools chain 3.4.2. I get the smbmount compiled, however, when I want to mount a directory that is located in a Windows XP PC, I get the following message: WARNING: The "strip dot"option is deprecated unrecognized character set handle_source_env: Failed to open file , Error was
