similar to: Mounting Network Shares with CIFS Instead of SMBFS

After mounting a windows share via cifs I have came across the same issue as described here: http://lists.samba.org/archive/samba/2006-April/119813.html "While using vim on files mounted under CIFS, when trying to write an existing file you will randomly be warned "The file has been changed since reading it!!!". Normally, this only occurs when another user accesses and saves the

Hello Sharing out unix home directory via samba. Home directory is /home/% username% . However, samba insists on sharing this directory as /home/% domain%/%username% . So a user can see their home directory as server %username% from windows. But, when they click on it, they get an error and the samba log says that the share /home/%domain%/%username% doesn't exist.

I periodically see smbfs questions get asked on this list, and they usually get one of two responses: 1. smbfs is a kernel module; this list is not the appropriate place to be asking smbfs questions. 2. You should be using cifs instead. (Please let me know if either if these is incorrect.) I was surprised to see, however, that the smbmount / mount.smbfs manpage makes no mention of cifs as being

Hi all, when trying to mount a windows file share using the commands below, mount exits immediately with message "password too long" before even attempting the mount: mount -t smbfs -o username="a user",password="12345678901234567" "//server/share" "/mnt/target" mount -t cifs -o user="a

hi, i've always been using mount -t smbfs and recently "upgraded" to mount.cifs because i have a very aggressive application which always killed the smb connection (getting timeouts, ...). my setup: * some passwordless public/guest shares * one admin share over a x-over link to be able to use the admin share i had to switch my server from "security = share" to

Hello - I just installed Fedora Core 2 the other day and have been trying to mount a share to some XP shares (domain members) without any luck. If I use the following line it works fine: mount -t smbfs -o username="mkipness",password=xxxx,domain=domain //10.0.100.74/c$ /mnt/max-laptop But if I use the the same statement substituting cifs, it doesn't: mount -t cifs -o

Hi Samba team, I feel user will feel more confortable when they can mount folder (via mount.cifs or mount.smbfs) under particular shared folder. Example: I have a share folder call department, all department's folder arrange inside so I have a share folder call \\server\department if I have a linux client under purchasing, I 2 command to get the correct place, and I feel it is giving more

I am somewhat confused... I understand that the preferred method to mount a Samba share with a Linux client is to use "mount -t cifs" rather than "mount -t smbfs". I get the impression that smbfs is samba.org developed code where as cifs is from elsewhere. Thus the point of confusion. Why is samba.org not developing the preferred code in this case? A sub question to that

I have searched for a solution to my problem, and have only found one short discussion which mentioned it (http://samba.cadcamlab.org/lists/samba/Aug2001/msg00364.html), and I didn't feel it contained a resolution I could use. In a nutshell, I want to mount an win2k share as 'guest' at boot time on a linux web server.[1] It just won't work any way that I've tried it. I can

When I mount the Windows share it works, but only root is allowed write permission in the directory created. How can I allow any user write permission?

The entry in fstab is: //$fileServer/$share

Hi. I've been at it for a solid week now....trying to figure out how to mount a smbfs-resource at boot.

Hi, I tried to make my Linux box smbmount a remote share originating from a Macintosh running the commercial package DAVE 2.5. The Linux box is a RedHat 6.0 with a 2.2.14 kernel (with smbfs inserted as a module) and samba-2.0.3; the iMac ran MacOS9. The directory to be shared, \\akemi\archivio, contained two files, aaa and bbb. Here's what happened: [root@sonal ~]# smbmount

Hello I trying to grasp the file permissions on Linux. I have Samba installed and functioning properly... I think I understand perimission in this environment with one exception: I need to add more than one group to a file/folder. With Windows..the security tab would allow any number of Groups and each group could have different permissions. (As well with files and subdirectories). With

Has any Sun Solaris samba admin ever attempted to mount to a WindowsNT server? Unfortunately after several attempts and some elaborate syntax I can not get this to work. I do not see that Sun supports smbfs as Linux does. If anyone has any ideas or tricks please drop me a line.

Hi, I've users connecting to a samba server via WinNTWS 4.0 (home directories are /home/%u) While workstations have both Windows and Linux installed, I want to allow users to connect to their /home directory when logging into Linux. Do you think it's better to automount the folders using an NFS mount or to use an SMBFS mount ? What are advantages and drawbacks of each methods ?
