similar to: smbmnt as user

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

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 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.

Hi, I'm trying to run smbmount on a machine with the root filesystem mounted as read only (it is a little embedded Linux PC which I want to pick up some files from its controlling NT box). The problem is that smbmnt doesn't appear to support the -n flag that normal mount supports which avoids accessing /etc/mtab. Can any one suggest any solutions to this ? Dave

Dear all 1) Could you happen to know why smbmnt, smbmount and smbumount are not compiled whem I rum "make" from the source directory? I found (for example) bin/testparms in the PROGS1 Makefile variable but no reference to those little fellows. 2) How do I change the config directory to be /etc instead of /usr/local/samba/lib? I tryed "./configure --sysconfdir=/etc" and it

Hi I'm using Debian woody. ii smbfs 2.2.3a-12.3 mount and umount commands for the smbfs... I want to mount a W2K share as user. Mount as root works fine. The entry in /etc/fstab looks like this: //NOTEBOOK/D /notebook/D: smbfs user,username=ernohl,noauto 0 3 If I try to mount: erno@flinker:~$ mount /notebook/D: Password: cannot mount on /notebook/D:: Operation not permitted smbmnt

This is pretty much a response to http://lists.samba.org/archive/samba-technical/2009-September/067058.html except not on samba-technical. Hi, Well 3.5 has already been released, and since I was attached to the previous behavior allowing setuid mounts on directories owned by calling users (without sudo) I thought I'd throw in my voice. Though autofs, smbnetfs and the like are interesting,

I'm running Debian/Squeeze on an AMD64 system. For some reason they have recently stopped shipping mount.cifs with the setuid bit set. Now it appears that they have changed the internal settings to prevent it from running setuid. This means that I can't define the share in fstab with "user" and connect from my Linux user account. Mounting smb/cifs shares seems to be blocked

Hi, many people are having problems using SFTP with ChrootDirectory when the jail directory (or the path above) is not owned by root. The question is if chroot'ing to usual home directories can be allowed, even though they are owned by regular users. I know that this topic has been discussed on the list several times now, so I searched the list archives for posts that invalidate the

Hi I have little problem on doing "user-mounts". There is a line in fstab "//server/share /mnt/server smbfs user,...." The problem is that smbmnt wants the mountpoints to be owned by the user doing the mount. Other devices can be mounted when the mountpint just has the group of a user. I can circumvent this by using sudo. Is there a solution to establish a fstab entry
