I'm wanting to mount a Windows share from a Windows 2003 Server to a Fedora Core 2 using Samba. I run the following mount command (as root), which terminates with a 0 return code, but when I attempt to look at the mounted filesystem with df or ls, I get a "Permission denied" error. Here is the mount command (with user/pwd/machine altered) and debug level 4... mount -t smbfs -o

First time samberer :) I have a home network, samba server running on kubuntu, wifes system running kubuntu and company laptop running XP. To start with I want to just share files. I can read files in shares from my wifes system but no matter what I do I cannot add files to the mounted share. I get 'cannot create regular file .... no such file or directory', even though the mounted

Hi all, A while ago I posted about needing to access samba shares on the same machine that the samba server was running on. Someone posted a script to mount the shares and all was well till I upgraded my PC hadware and had a small accident :( I have tried modifing /etc/init.d/samba adding ... mount -t smbfs //127.0.0.1/common /mnt/samba/common -o

Hi ! I'm having trouble trying to mount a win2k share from my linux box with the mount command. My linux box is a RH 7.2 and samba version is 2.2.4. It is part of the windows domain 'VALBONE' and the smb.conf option "winbind use default domain" is set to yes. So when the user slautier log into the machine, it does it without specifying the domain name. slautier is a member

I am trying to connect to a samba server (hosted by a unix platform; for which I have also ftp and telnet access). I have problems with accents in filenames: when I issue the command mount -t smbfs -o 'username=oesser,password=xxxxxxxx,iocharset=iso8859-1,codepage=iso8859-1,uid=oesser,gid=oesser,dmask=700,fmask=700' //nestor.ulb.ac.be/oesser /mnt/nestor all works fine but if I put

Hi, I`ve got a problem with samba and /etc/fstab. I have a second computer running Windows XP SP2 with Western Digital MyBook USB2 external hard disk attached. The Disk is shared over windows network with a label "My Book (J)". I can manually mount this samba resource by typing "sudo mount -t smbfs -o fmask=777,dmask=777,guest '//win/My Book (J)' /media/MyBook", but

I have an smb service set up on a box on my home network, and it currently works fine with the mp3 folder I share out accross the lan. However, I recently decided to add a share for my web site so i could make site updates/changes from any other box in the house rather than having to go to the server to make content changes. The relevant bita of my smb.conf file look like this: [mp3] path =

Hi, I'm having some odd problems with samba in combination with fam. On my linux system I have mounted some partitions that are shared by a Win2k machine on my LAN. With any GUI filemanager using fam I can create files and directories, but I can't delete directories, only files. If I try to delete a directory, it just doesn't work. If I try to delete a directory containing files,

We are having a problem remounting a Windows network share. Our server is running RHEL4 ES that mounts a Windows network shares as a drive. The Windows network shares are on Windows 2003 servers. The network share can be mounted but when the Windows 2003 servers are rebooted, the mounted drives goe down. I try to reissue the mount commands but it doesn't work, it sits there and eventually

Hi all, I have set up an LTSP environment (www.ltsp.org) for a small group of users who have migrated from WinXP. As part of the setup, and during the transition, I have created a number of folders in each user's home directory which are mapped via SMBMOUNT to the NT domain controller's home directories, and various shared data folders. When each user logs into X, a script is run

With WinXP host, RH8 VMware guest, at level 3, I issue: mount -t smbfs -o user,noauto,dmask=777,fmask=777,username=xx, password=yy //DELLBOX/linuxShare /mnt/linuxShare and get: Connection to DELLBOX failed SMB connection failed timeout connecting to 192.168.113.1:139 Error connecting to 192.168.113.1 I cannot find this IP address anywhere. My tables indicate that port 139 is

I recently reinstalled RH8 as a VMware guest on a WinXP box. I used a previously proven script at level 3, containing, in one line with no inappropriate spaces: mount -t smbfs -o user,noauto,dmask=777,fmask=777,username=xx, password=yy //DELLBOX/linuxShare /mnt/linuxShare I get a failure that reports numerous possibilities including bad fs, and other other things. I suspect I omitted a

Hi all, I've googled on this but no luck so far. I'm using FC4. This works flawlessly: Mount -t smbfs //host/share /var/mount/hostname/sharename -o username=username,password=password,domain=DOMAIN,fmask=0777,dmask=0777 However, it fails in fstab when I do: //host/share /var/mount/hostname/sharename smbfs username=username,password=password,domain=DOMAIN,fmask=0777,dmask=0777 0 0

Hi! I first reported this issue as http://bugs.gentoo.org/136272 Mounting windows shares as a normal user causes quite a lot of trouble for me, using samba 3.0.22.

> From there, you can use smbmount to mount SMB shares (from > Windows systems or Samba servers) in your Linux filesystem. smbmount works fine : $ smbmount //DOMAIN_controler/sharedir /home/toto/smb -o credentials=/home/win2k/DOMAIN/toto/.smbpw,uid='DOMAIN+toto',gid='DOMAIN+Domain users',fmask=664,dmask=775 The user toto is a domain user authenticated from the Win2k server.

When I attmept to mount a PC (W2K) share via my fstab, I get the following error message on the mount: "Unknown parameter encountered 'file'" Truth be told , samba is becoming more and more frustrating. The only thing I have been able to successfully do is to make visible my NFS mount point across my file server to my W2K machine. I am running SuSE 9.1, Samba 3.02a Enclosed is

I have a small LAN: SuSE 7.2 with Samba 3.0 and a W2K box. What I can do: I can create shares from the W2K box that make files from the Linux box visible. I can also manually mount (using % smbmount ... ) from the command line as root. Here is where I run into problems. The only way I can mount a partition via smbmount is if I use the username=user%passwd option. If I attempt to setup a .smbpw

I am running a Samba fileserver (Redhat//pandora/pub /mnt/pub smbfs credentials=/etc/samba/smb.auth,uid=1000,gid=100,fmask=666,dmask=777,debug=9 0 0 9 kernel: 2.4.20-24.7, smbd ver: 3.0.0). I am now trying to mount a share on this server on another Linux machine (SuSE 9.1 kernel 2.6.5-7.108, smbmount ver. 3.0.7). I would like to have the share automattically mount on startup using an /etc/fstab

I am having difficulty with Windows shares mounted with smb on my linux machine. The mount directory will not have write permissions for anyone, no matter what. The mount directory that I use is /home/samba. It has 0700, or drwx------ permissions when it is not connected to Samba. It is owned by the user jhall, and the group root. When I mount it, if I use dmask 0777, I get dr-xr-xr-x. If I use
