similar to: Erratic behavior with smbmount

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

Hi, when I try to mount a share on my windows pc using smbmount it says that it needs mount version 6, but my mount came fron util- linux and it's version is 2.9.... I also noticed that the smbmount and smbumount files in the samba 2.0.0 package don't get compiled... Can someone help me? I'm running slackware 3.6 with kernel 2.0.0- pre7... Nils ------- LINUX... A manly sort of

I've got a win98 laptop and a linux box. On my linux box, I smbmount a directory from the laptop. Alas, win98 boxes crash a lot, and I move the laptop a lot... to and from work. If the laptop crashes or if I move it with a shared directory mounted on my linux box, that mount gets "Stuck".... it's present in /etc/mtab but when I cd to it and do an ls it says: 243 emily ~>ls

I use samba in a very limited application to mount smb shares using smbmount. I have a simple script I use that mounts several shares to a variety of mount points as a specific user on my system. The script passes username, password, share, mount point, domain information to each call to smbmount. This script worked perfectly under redhat 8.0 but since upgrading to redhat 9 I have had some

Has anyone out there had success with smbmount smbumount and solaris 7? If so, please let me know how you installed it; ideally, I'd like to add it using pkgadd. So far I only have smbclient working. Thanks, Kevin

I am moving FROM: RH EL AS 3.0, Kernel is 2.1.21-4, Samba is 3.0.0-14.3E (This is what came with the RH distribution) TO: Fedora Core 5 Kernel is 2.6.16-1.2122_FC5 Samba is 3.0.22-1.fc5 (Both kernel and samba have been upgraded from the distribution.) I can't find the smbmount (or smbumount) command. I am running VMWare and want to be able to move files between the host

I've just put up CentOS4 on my HP ze4630us laptop, and the installation produced only two problems of note, both related to X operations. 1. The installer refused to allow 1024x768 resoultion for the screen. After install, manually setting the resolution in xorg.conf was no problem. 2. Erratic touchpad operation. This unit has a synaptic touchpad. I've also noted similar problems on my

I have had a long term problem with my set up. winbind authentication is erratic. Whenever I restart one of my servers the member server refuses to authenticate users. Sometimes is will only authenticate some users on some shares. Usually by fiddling with it I can eventually get it to work but I can't identify the solution so I can replicate it. Once I get can finally get it to work it

Hi everyone, I have been using adaptIntegrate from the cubature package for a multidimensional integral that has infinite variance (and so not appropriate for Monte Carlo techniques). Most of the time it works but sometimes (though not always) when I slightly increase the accuracy I want, or increase the bounds of integration I get the following error: REAL() can only be applied to a

Hello, I have a RedHat 7.3 workstation and have created a samba mount to my samba server. Everything seems to be working ok, but when I reboot my RH workstation the mount is not reestablished. I believe the problem is that when I reboot the machine the samba share is not unmounted. After rebooting the machine when I run smbstatus on the samba server it indicates the mount is still active.

I'm not sure this list is the right place for this thing. I noticed some erratic behaviour in sammon(). Running sammon on two nearly identical sets of data results in very different results. Below is an example. I create an initial configuration with cmdscale() and store it into 'vec1'. I write this to file, and read it back in again to 'vec2'. According to cor() on the three

Hello, After an upgrade to RedHat 9 and the supplied samba-[|commoan-|client-]2.2.7a-8.9.0 rpms we've discovered a problem with smbmount. It sometimes invokes itself twice and then hangs. Sample script to test: #!/usr/bin/perl # testing Samba problem print "$$\n"; `/usr/bin/smbmount //cmc-apps/settlements ./t-samba -o

I recently added a Linux box to a formerly all-Windows network, and one of the first things I wanted to get working was file sharing between my Win98 laptop and the Linux box. I got Linux to see the laptop via smbmount, and finally found how to get this to happen every time the Linux machine restarted. But (seemingly every time I turn the laptop off) the smbmount fails. Attempts to ls the mounted

Hi all, The 'I/O error' subject has passed the mailinglist a few times now, but I couldn't find a solution in the archives. Here is what happened to me; I mounted some windows 98 shares onto my Linux Slackware box. After a while I got the (well-known) I/O error on the mounting point when using ls or df. Normally (it happened to me before) I could just umount or smbumount the mount

I have noticed while testing my Samba 3.0.2a primary and backup domain controllers with Windows XP clients, that when I attempt to login to the Samba PDC, the XP client will sometimes randomly choose the backup domain controller. I only want the client to join the backup domain controller when the PDC is offline. I am not experiencing any random network outages or DNS failures so I am bewildered

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 installed the samba 3.0.3 on a Fedora Core 2 and then samba 3.0.6-1 and still have the following problem. When I mount a smbfs, it sucesses but processes hang when they access the mount point and smbumount returns "Device busy". Since even system halt fails unmounting the filesystem, I have to switch off the machine. I tested either with smbmount command, or /etc/fstab

I'm having a problem setting the uid and gid properly using smbmount. I'm hoping someone can help with this issue. I run: mount -t smbfs -o username=technician,uid=500,gid=500 //fileserver/technician /mnt/technician and it mounts, but the uid and gid are all set to 1003 and 103 respectively which is the uid and gid of the files on the server. Am I making a mistake here? Also, how

I am trying to rsync between two linux boxes, but one of the linux boxes is using samba to map a share from a windows SAN onto it's file system. Rsync quit working properly when I changed the source directory from a local ext3 filesystem to the windows share mapped onto the filesystem. This setup may be kind of odd, but I need to keep user's data on the SAN and I also need the linux box to

Hi, During tests with a IAX2/PSTN gateway I've been getting strange results for processor idle time and load. I (re)search(ed) this issue for a while, but I didn't get any good explainations. Can somebody help me? I have several sites that rely on a central server for connection to the PSTN. Calls to the PSTN are routed over the Internet to this PSTN gateway using IAX2 in trunk mode. To
