I upgraded from my desktop from Mandrake 10.1 to Mandriva 2006 recently. It went pretty well, but I am having some issues connecting to samba shares on my Mandrake 10.1-based server. The shares worked fine under 10.1, but now I can't get them to mount with read-write permission. I'm assuming this is a problem related only to the mdrva 2006 client -- I haven't changed a thing on the

I'm getting only partial iso8859-1 translation from an smbfs mount from my Win98SE machine. The smbfs mounted file system shows most lower-case accented characters fine; but, it substitutes underscores for most of the upper-case accented characters (and a few lower-case ones too): # uname -a Linux elm 2.4.18-8.1mdkian3 #7 Sat Aug 17 15:19:44 EDT 2002 i686 unknown (Mandrake 8.2 Linux with all

Hi all, Apologies if this has posted twice, I've only just found out how to post to a moderated group and my first attempts didn't work. I'm new to this newsgroup and quite new to Linux in general. My Samba ver 3.0.7 (under Mandrake 10.1) used to work happily linking to my Windows ME machine. After some problems with a reboot of my Linux machine I now get the folowing problems:

I emailed about this before but didn't get any response. I am desperate. I can mount the share of any computer in the domain. XP (even with sp2), 2000, etc... everything works no problem. When I try to mount a share on a win2003 server, the command completes successfully, but when I try to view the folder, it is not showing. I have tried several variations of commands: mount -t smbfs -o

I have a Redhat 8.0 box with many external connections. Several nfs and 3 samba. Today I tried to reattach to one on my mounts and I am geting "Could not resolve mount point /mnt/dir". If I do an ls -a I can see the dir, but when adding the l option to ls it does not show up. fuser returns for the dir, Input/output error I apologize if this has nothing to do with Samba, but I am

Hi, I recently upgraded an older box running as a file server for a small company to Mandriva (Mandrake) 10.1. It's running Samba 3.0.10.1, the default Mandrake package. We have a custom script that mounts a Windows share using smbfs, backs up specific directories, and unmounts when it's done. The problem is, it's not mounting reliably. There is an entry in /etc/fstab for the

Howdy Is there any reason why I cannot mount to a Dfs share on a Windows 2000 box from Linux? I have tried: # mount -t smbfs //server/share$ /mnt/point -o username=user Which works... # mount -t smbfs //server/share$/home/pupils/user /mnt/point -o username=user Trying to mount any share within the Dfs root retruns: 23479: tree connect failed: ERRDOS - ERRnosuchshare (You specified an

I've posted here with this problem before, and while several people DID try to help, nothing seems to work! Here's the situation (again): I have a Linux box (Mandrake 7.0) running Samba (2.0.6) compiled from source. I can mount/read/write the linux shares just fine, but when trying to write to my Win98 shares (which mount perfectly), I get "permission denied". This only

Hi. I have mounted a Windows 2000 Pro computer under linux using: mount -t smbfs -o username=phill,password=xxxxx //winbox/drivec /mnt/winbox I can then jump into /mnt/winbox/ and navigate around the Win 2000 box. But... For some reason some of the files and directories on the windows computer are not showing up. For example, I have just moved a heap of wav files for our audio-processing

Hi All, I'm having some annoying problems with symbolic links. I'm not certain they relate to samba but hopefully sone here can help anyway. I have a linux ( Mandrake 10.1 ) machine sharing various directories ( samba 3.0.7 ) with a network of linux ( also MDK 10.1 ) and windows machines. Within the shared directories are a number of

I have upgraded from a almost perfectly working Samba 2.2.8a to Samba 3.0.0, I wished to join my NAS servers to the domain and it seemed something to do with DNS authentication was stopping them from joining, so I upgraded to Samba 3 (not beta) I have searched the web for reasons for this stange behavior but could find no explaination or fix, there are however other people having the same

My LAN includes a server machine running FC4, with several shares mounted with Samba. Yesterday, I upgraded the packages on the FC4 machine, and these included Samba, which is now at 3.0.23a. Unfortunately, this seems to have broken the mounted shares for my Ubuntu 6.06 installation on my Acer 1682WLMI laptop. The cifs module on Ubuntu reports as version 1.39. The symptoms are that I can

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, 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

I have a small peer to peer network of 4 machines, WinME, Win2K Pro SP4, Win XP Pro SP2 and Linux Mandrake 10.1 Samba 3.0.10.1. I am pretty new at Linux but have been around computers for a very long time. The Linux installation went smoothly, MDK and KDE3 utilities make it simple for newbies to get things running, so Samba went together quite easily but I now have a problem I have been

I have kernel 2.4.20-31.9smp, samba-3.0.7-1 and redhat linux and I have a problem like as " I'm having a real hair-raising problem here and I thought maybe someone could help. At least I hope so.

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

Background: Linux, Debian (Sarge). I want to auto-mount an smbfs at boot. smbmount version is 3.0.7-Debian. With the following in my fstab, I can do the mount as root, but have to provide a password (hence either I can't boot unattended, or can't mount it during boot): //<server>/<share> /mnt/point smbfs

Hi all, I couldn't access win2k3 server shares from my FC2 box. It's got default Fedora Core 2 installation. Kernel: 2.6.5-1.358 Samba: samba-3.0.3-5 I've tried with both smbfs and cifs options.
