Hi, I use samba on Linux 2.6 and 2G over size file sharing. It seems smbmount '-o lfs' need to use with large file. but default man page doesn't say this option. I want to edit smbmount.8.xml for lfs and unicode option. I believe using mount.cifs is right way on latest Linux. But one of the implementation smb_clients tools take this lazy option. Is it right way to change of man page

Hi, Iam using Red hat linux 6.1 with samba version 2.0.7 .I had compiled and used it,and also used the patch given for smbmount.c by Urban.But Strangely the smbmount version is still version 2.0.5a.Is this the correct version for smbmount since i thought when i upgraded samba from 2.0.5a to 2.0.7 smbmount would also be upgraded.Because iam still facing some problems in using smbmount.If iam

I'm running samba 2.2.5 on a RedHat 8 box. I need to mount a share from a PC that is on a domain that the linux box is not a part of. Normally with another PC you would specify your username as DOMAIN\user, how do I do this with smbmount? I've looked at the documentation, google, etc. I can't find anything. Is this even possible? Here's what I've tried: smbmount //dd192/PM

Hi I have two different distributions running, RedHat 6.0 and Slackware 7.0. Both machines are running Samba 2.05a. When I try the smbmount command on the RedHat machine, it has no problem mounting the smb service. RedHat 6.0: works: smbmount //win95machine/c /mnt/c failed: smbmount "\\win95\c" -c `mount /mnt/c -u 123 -g 456` Slacware 7.0: failed: smbmount //win95machine/c /mnt/c

hi ya samba-gurus.. I'm currently using Linux-2.0.35 to backup NT boxes... linux-2.0.35 + smbmount-2.0.1 works find for things like smbmount //NT/C /NT_mnt ...etc... find /NT_mnt -mtime -1 | tar zcvf /backup/foo.tgz -T - but it fails miserabley on linux-2.2.5 w/ smbmount-2.0.x w/ smbd-2.0.3 ( smbmount from smbfs and samba-2.0.3 ) - some linux programs will change all your time stamps on

I'm trying to periodically mount an XP share on my linux box, and I've noticed that smbmount doesn't return a value so I can't test for success in my shell script: #!/bin/bash smbmount //NonsenseShare /bad/mnt/point || echo "error with smbmount" In this case smbmount silently fails. I searched the archives and found a couple of messages about smbmount demonizing

I have built, installed, and run 2.0.6 successfully without smbmount, but want to do it with this time. I know that it's not part of samba, but am hoping someone can tell me if I'm making a simple mistake. It's possible that it's not even samba related. I'm a novice at this and have not gotten very good at figuring out what's wrong when something doesn't build

I think that I have found what I consider a bug using smbmount 2.0.05a that came with linux 6.1, and also have a question at the end of this e-mail. I can successfully mount a shared drive from a windows NT machine using the following format. smbmount //computername/sharedfolder /mountpoint -U username%password I can manipulate folders and files from the linux computer with no problem. However

I see that smbmount is for Linux only. I have a need for a Solaris 8 Sun to see a Win2k shared volume, currently as read-only. So I have a few questions: - Is there a read-only capability of smbmount for Solaris 8? - Is there a Solaris 8 version of smbmount in development? Is so, when would it be released? - Can you name any commercial packages that offer the ability to mount NTFS file

I'm using Samba 2.0.6 on a Linux server. When using smbmount or mount to mount a share from an NT server, how do I set file permissions. An older smbmount allowed a -d and -f switch to set the file permissions. The newest one does not support these. The man pages for smbmount and smbmnt mention using syntax that does not work. I finally have gotten the mount command to work, but now I

We have downloaded the samba 2.0.5a source from net and tried to compile with the smbmount option, which is what we need for mounting. The following wor " ----------- client/smbmount.c: In function `send_fs_socket` : client/smbmount.c:295: storage size of `conn_options` isn't known client/smbmount.c:314: `SMB_CASE_DEFAULT` Undeclared (first use this function) client/smbmount.c:325:

Hi, Thanks for answering my question on the new smbmount not working. I tried all variety of combinations on the commands you suggested, but they all simply do this: % smbmount -c //server/share 'mount /mnt/samba-share -n CLIENT -U user' Usage: smbmount service <password> [-p port] [-d debuglevel] [-l log] Version 2.0.3 -p port connect to the specified port

Howdy all: I'm trying to use smbmount to mount a win9x share and copy some files for backup, eventually to run as a script invoked via cron. I have RH6.1/samba 2.0.5a, and the windoze box is win95b. If I do the standard mount (smbmount //winbox/backup /mnt/smb04) I have to be root. Also, after it's mounted, I can't create any files there as a normal user (even though the

I mount my win98 laptop directory on my linux box using: smbmount //sushi/doug -c "mount /home/deck/sushi -u deck -g deck -f 644" This works great so long as I don't ever leave the house. If I take the laptop away and then reconnect it, I can neither use the directory /home/deck/sushi (I get "input/output error") Nor can I unmout it or remount it. (I get "cannot

I have become quite confused about the interaction of the kernel versions and the different versions of Samba and smbmount. I have just upgraded to a 2.2 kernel. 'make menuconfig' gave no choice by which to enable the Win95 bug workaround. At the same time, smbmount 2.0.5a, which seems to be the proper one for a 2.2 kernel (it's the latest provided by Debian, under the name

I've got a SuSE 6.2 Linux server, which now comes with Samba 2.0.5a. I'm having problems with scripts that used to run under 2.0.2. I've tried digging around on newsgroups, the manpages, and the Samba web site and can't seem to find everything I need to do to mount a share (from an NT 4.0 server). When I issue the following: smbmount //server/share -I dest ip -U user%pswd -c

I installed samba on a PC running SuSE 10.2, using the version from the SuSE 10.2 repository (3.0.23). All very nice, except smbmount is missing. As I understand it, this would seem to be because the version offered had not been compiled with the --with-smbmount option. Is my interpretation correct? And if so, how can I fix things? Do I have to download the source and do my own compilation

Can't mount share on my linux boxes as a regular user. I have no trouble mounting shares as root. This problem occurs on both my linux boxes. All the commands I show I have run as a regular user. Here is all the data I have: smbmount \\\\JHAMMER6\\public /mnt/NetWork/JHAMMER6/public/ -o debug=6 mount.smbfs started (version 2.0.7) Initialising global parameters params.c:pm_process() -

ok, on my windows machine, i see: myname on 'computer01\home' (H:) so i went to my linux box and did: smbclient -L //computer01 -U myname and i see Home listed as a sharename (why does windows show it as "home" but its really "Home" as reported by smbclient?). well everything works fine if i mount it like this: smbmount //computer01/Home /mnt/computer01/Home -o
