Is there a way to configure the latest version of Samba to automount shares when a Linux client logs into a Samba PDC? I have searched high and low trying to find an answer to this and the only information I have found is using pam_mount (which I have yet to get working correctly) or NFS. When searching for an answer, I came across comments such as "NFS is the best way to mount shares in a

Hi, I'm running dovecot-1.0.10 on a Solaris 10 server with home dirs automounted over NFS. I have set the mail_location configuration option so that nothing should be written to a user's home dir over NFS but, as far as I can tell, dovecot still by default tries to chdir to a user's home dir when reading mail, although this is not required. This creates additional unnecessary load on

I'm dealing with a Linux environment with extensive automounting, that also has DFS configurations for the Windows clients of various CIFS systems. I've got CIFS automounting working for various CIFS servers, which definitely has its uses, but I'd *love* to be able to mount the DIFS published paths for the CIFS shares? Basically, if I have shares called \\example1\share1 and

For quite some time I am trying to get samba 3.0.0 woring with an LDAP backend. The latest problem I have is that user authenticaltion doe not work. The passwords are right, added them with the ldaptools from the samba source, I can browse the ldap server, samba aslo can successfully search (see logfile level 10 below), but just no successfull password verification. I aslo attached my smb.conf,

I'm working on a client setup for thin-client machines in an AD with about 2000 users. One of the requirements is that the server (an LTSP box) not store each and every user's home directory. All of our users have a Home Folder setting in their AD object, and I'd like to use samba to mount that as "home." What works now: smbd, nmbd, winbindd. Compiled Samba 3.0 onto a

I set up a 3.3 gluster volume for another sysadmin and he has added it to his cluster via automount. It seems to work initially but after some time (days) he is now regularly seeing this warning: "Too many levels of symbolic links" $ df: `/share/gl': Too many levels of symbolic links when he tries to traverse the mounted filesystems. I've been using gluster with static mounts

Hi folks, in our group we're working with samba on a SunOS 4.1.3 workstation and about 30 wfwg and win95 clients for several time without any trouble (samba-1.9.16p6 release). Now i've installed version 1.9.17p2 and got the following problem: I can't reach directories on an automounted volume on the Server which is not currently mounted by changing directory to that drive on the

Hi, I have found a general way to configure hostbased authentication using OpenSSH on several , ( I created a howto about it at http://www.omega.telia.net/vici/openssh ) but there is one remaining problem which I still could not solve. I would like to make hostbased authetication work without DNS resolving available both on the server and client side. First I added the IP addresses to the

Hi to all, I just installed samba-4.0.0alpha1 on RedHat ES 4 in hope it will solve my problem to authenticate users against Active Directory 2003. But the problem is smb.conf for this type of scenario. Does anyone have smb.conf only to authenticate users against Active Directory. q1. do I need still have kerberos server? q2. how to start samba as deamon (smb -D) or is there any document how

-----BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE----- Hash: SHA1 I would like to get add a new Wiki entry regarding Automounting with HAL for CentOS 5, since the behaviour is very different than CentOS 4. Main points: - - Making automounting hotpluggable devices work with other WMs - - Overriding the default mount point - - Overriding the default mount options (noexec etc) Small nightmare here to find out how

Hello, I believe that I have found a bug in the 2.0.5a configure process. If the source tarball is extracted to an automounted directory, and you run configure, it will fail the fcntl_lock test, resulting in this message at the end of the configure process: WARNING: No locking available. Running Samba would be unsafe To verify that the automounted directory is the problem, I put an "exit

Is there a way to make samba automatically mount a home directory? That is, a user logging in (from Linux), enters its username and password(Samba), and the system automatically mounts the user's home directory from the samba server(without asking the password again). Has anyone ever tried to do this? And succedeed :-) ? -- nneves@di.fc.ul.pt Dept. Informatica, Fac.

Environment: HP-UX 10.20 Samba 1.9.18p10 ; compiled with -DAUTOMOUNT option. We are using our samba server to mount various automounted directories including user's home. auto.home map takes care of mounting user's home automagically but for other directories, I have to put a share name for each of them (and there are hundreds of them). Is it possible to define one share name (like

Hello, I have a few ideas about how to make my Linux server mount up a shared folder on a Windows machine at boot time, however I would like to know if there are other methods of getting it to work. I have considered building a startup script with a high number to have the system smbmount the shared drive like a service, in case of a power outage. I believe that would be considered

I 'just' noticed that my USB DVD/CDRW is not automounting in my Centos 5 installs. Various USB drives do: USB flash drives, USB multi card drives, and USB IDE converters. I can issue a: mnt /dev/cdrom /media but why is this needed?

All, I wanted to pass on experience that I have trying to get GlusterFS to automount on RedHat 5.5. The documentation for /etc/fstab (http://gluster.com/community/documentation/index.php/Mounting_a_GlusterFS_Volume) doesn't quite work. I have two servers 192.168.104.151 and 192.168.104.152. Both are running GlusterD and both offer one of the bricks for the volume. Both mount also the

I have /etc/auto.master and /etc/auto.smb such that ls /smb/<name of system> works for the two Win98 machines on my network (the machines get automatically mounted and the directory contains "C"). When I try the same command on the Windows XP machine, I get No such file or directory The auto.smb file that came with my OS (Libranet 3) uses smbclient to get a list of
