Hi, I am deploying samba for an embedded system. The requirement is that the system should be able to mount windows share points. I believe "smbmount, smbumount and smbmnt" components are needed to do the same. I am not very clear about smbmnt though! I find that smbmount, smbumount and smbmnt are all quite huge. Around 300 to 400Kb each. I understand that Samba is capable of doing

Hallo, I've just installed Kernel 2.6.25.2 - works fine. But now when I use "smbmount" for mounting shares from my Win9x clients the system (kernel) tells me smbfs is deprecated and will be removed from the 2.6.27 kernel. Please migrate to cifs. But at least Win9x seems not to like cifs. Mounting via smbfs works since years, mounting (with the same options) via cifs

Hi, when I try to mount a share on my windows pc using smbmount it says that it needs mount version 6, but my mount came fron util- linux and it's version is 2.9.... I also noticed that the smbmount and smbumount files in the samba 2.0.0 package don't get compiled... Can someone help me? I'm running slackware 3.6 with kernel 2.0.0- pre7... Nils ------- LINUX...

I've got a win98 laptop and a linux box. On my linux box, I smbmount a directory from the laptop. Alas, win98 boxes crash a lot, and I move the laptop a lot... to and from work. If the laptop crashes or if I move it with a shared directory mounted on my linux box, that mount gets "Stuck".... it's present in /etc/mtab but when I cd to it and do an ls it says: 243 emily ~>ls

Hello, I have a RedHat 7.3 workstation and have created a samba mount to my samba server. Everything seems to be working ok, but when I reboot my RH workstation the mount is not reestablished. I believe the problem is that when I reboot the machine the samba share is not unmounted. After rebooting the machine when I run smbstatus on the samba server it indicates the mount is still active.

I use smbmount to mount a number of NT shares from around a global network in order to sync from a master distribution which resides in linux. Specifically... uklnxsrv$ smbmount //NTSRV/share -c 'mount /tmp/temporary_mount -u 502 -g 510' -U guest%guest_passwd Frequently it works well, but from time to time the mounted NT share, for lack of a better word gets corrupted. Here are the

Has anyone out there had success with smbmount smbumount and solaris 7? If so, please let me know how you installed it; ideally, I'd like to add it using pkgadd. So far I only have smbclient working. Thanks, Kevin

I am moving FROM: RH EL AS 3.0, Kernel is 2.1.21-4, Samba is 3.0.0-14.3E (This is what came with the RH distribution) TO: Fedora Core 5 Kernel is 2.6.16-1.2122_FC5 Samba is 3.0.22-1.fc5 (Both kernel and samba have been upgraded from the distribution.) I can't find the smbmount (or smbumount) command. I am running VMWare and want to be able to move files between the host

I am unable to find my Windows XP share (winpro) in Linneighborhood which runs on my desktop Kubuntu Linux box. When I try to mount that Windows XP share I get the error message: 2139: session request to WINPRO failed (Not listening on called name) 2139: session request to *SMBSERVER failed (Not listening on called name) SMB connection failed smbmt: Error: winpro _not_ mounted. The command line

I run a script to mount several file shares from machines running W98 and W2000 so that I can do incremental dumps every night of these file shares. smbmount almost always fails to exit. This causes the script to stall and so the dumps are not done. In the am, if I kill the smbmount processes, the dumps complete successfully, since the mounts were in fact correctly completed. (I know that

Dear Sir I have installed Samba 2.0.7 with --with-smbmount option from the tar file but when i execute the below command >smbmount i got the version 2.0.5a with help messages. Is it true or my installation has problem? Another question: Can you say what settings should be set for NT WINS server to see my linux copmuter at Domain 'MyGroup' with host name 'ATTAR' Thanks

Hello, Has anyone got netgroups working with Samba 3.0.14a where the netgroups are stored in the LDAP directory? I'm using Solaris 9 and SUN's directory server v5.2. What I'm seeing is that samba goes through the motions of looking up a host in a netgroup, but no query is seen by the LDAP server or on the network and the host is never found in the netgroup. Any help would be

I'm using rehat9, kernel2.4.20-18.9, samba2.2.7a-7.9.0. I have smbumount hangs most of the time. Any idea?

I've seen several references to running smbmount from /etc/fstab, but I've never seen an example. Does anyone have an example fstab entry that does this? Thanks Steve Litt

Hello, We have just migrated a server from sun solaris 8 to sun solaris 10. In the old machine we had a Samba 3.0.20b and in the new one, we have samba 3.0.21, both compiled like this with no problems: env LD_FLAGS="-L/usr/local/lib" ./configure --with-ldapsam --without-pam --with-quotas --with-ldap --with-included-popt --with-acl-support --with-libsmbclient We share user's

Hello, I've got a potentially major problem: I've recently changed from samba-TNG (vintage last February) which was working tolerably well in our environment barring a few locking problems and the ever increasing tdb files and memory footprint. As our number of clients has passed 150, the amount of memory used on our Solaris server became unsustainable and I took the decision to migrate

I posted a previous thread about using smbmount, but I am still having some problems, using samba version 2.0.5a on SuSE 6.2. I issue the statement: smbmount //NTServer/share /mnt/test -Iaddress -Uid%pswd Afterwards, if I go to the mount directory, i.e. 'cd /mnt' and issue the command 'ls -l' I get an error message 'ls: test: Input/output error'. After that, the mount

Hi I am trying to create a boot diskette(s) that is able to mount a remote drive (on an NT server) using smbfs. I have tried doing this, but I can't fit smbd, nmbd, smbmount and smbumount all onto my root disk. What is the minimum set of files required for smbfs to work? What docs should I read to help me? I am running RedHat 6.2 (with a custom kernel v 2.2.14, ntfs and network card

Hi there, after browsing the mailing list archives for several hour I still couldn't find an answer to my problem, although it for sure sounds as if many people posted the same problem. Yet, none of the threads dealing with problems like these matched my problem, so I have to start a new thread on my own. This is my system environment: Linux machine: - Mandrake Linux 8.1 - samba-2.2.1a
