similar to: Help! Looking for the smbmount-nomtab.patch and smbmount-mtab-flags.patch

This patch was sent to me by Urban Widmark <urban@teststation.com> (thanks Urban!). It allows me to mount remote Win shares to my Linux box automatically. I'm using kernel automounter. The problem was that I have a ro root fs and my /etc/mtab isn't writable (symlinked to /proc/mounts). Patch adds -n and -o nomtab options for smbmount. -o nomtab was particularly useful for me. I

Hi, I'm trying to run smbmount on a machine with the root filesystem mounted as read only (it is a little embedded Linux PC which I want to pick up some files from its controlling NT box). The problem is that smbmnt doesn't appear to support the -n flag that normal mount supports which avoids accessing /etc/mtab. Can any one suggest any solutions to this ? Dave

Dear all, I use smbmount on a script. The package used is (SuSe 7.2): "... root@gprod:~ > which smbmount /usr/bin/smbmount root@gprod:~ > rpm -qf /usr/bin/smbmount smbclnt-2.2.0-15 root@gprod:~ > ls -l /usr/bin/smbmount -rwsr-sr-t 1 root root 497224 May 12 2001 /usr/bin/smbmount root@gprod:~ > ..." This script runs on crontab each 20 minutes. It uses the

Hello all This patch tries to remove a few bugs from smbmount. It would be nice to get some testing+feedback on this from others using smbmount and possibly get these things fixed for the next release of samba. It does the following: * Change lib/debug.c to allow changing your mind on being interactive. A second call to setup_logging should now replace the effects of a previous call. (hmm,

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() -

Hello, I'm looking for some (user & technical) feedback on a change I'm considering on how mount and smbmount works together. The current way mounts are done are: mount -t smbfs ... => smbmount ... => smbmnt Possibly without the mount step. smbmount stays as a daemon and reconnects when asked (unless it crashes). Problems: - Some mount options should affect if the mount

Hello, I have found a solution on an other news group : uk.comp.os.linux There is a set of messages with the subject "Ordinary user to mount SAMBA share" You can read the content of that uk.comp.os.linux group through the web, the URL is http://x35.deja.com In one of the message the author wrote "After, further test. I find smbmount, unlike mount, requires the user owns the

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

Hi, I'm trying to mount with smbmount on a read-only system. I have a writable /tmp and /var dir, so it car wirte logs. The samba daemons are running fine, but when doing smbmount I get the following error: can't lock /etc/mtab~ file This is correct, because mtab is read-only. I tried to create a link (ln -sf) from /etc/mtab to /tmp/mtab (and /etc/mtab~ to /tmp/mtab~) but this

Hi all, I am trying to cross compile samba version 2.2.12 to an ARM platform (kernel 2.4.20) using arm-tools chain 3.4.2. I get the smbmount compiled, however, when I want to mount a directory that is located in a Windows XP PC, I get the following message: WARNING: The "strip dot"option is deprecated unrecognized character set handle_source_env: Failed to open file , Error was

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

Hi, I don't know why smbmount doesn't work. My samba version is 3.0.0. Remote server (192.168.1.1) is running samba 3.0.0 too. Both are linux machines. 1) If I try to mount a existing share i get this /usr/local/samba/bin/smbmount //192.168.1.1/PAVFN /monta added interface ip=192.168.1.200 bcast=192.168.1.255 nmask=255.255.255.0 Password: smbfs/init_mount: execv of smbmnt failed.

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

Hi, Since i upgraded to Linux Redhat 9.0 / samba-2.2.7a-8.9.0 / kernel 2.4.20-9 i have the following problem: # smbmount //amd/Films /mnt/disk -o username=jan,password=XXXXXX # In 50% of the times i do this command it mounts the share and goes into daemon mode and ps -aux shows one process smbmount. All ok. However in the other 50% the command just hangs. If i open a new window it did do

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

I would like to use smbmount on a SGI running IRIX 6.5.1m. The distribution of samba for IRIX does not include the executables smbmount or smbmnt. Is there a source for these executables?

-----BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE----- Hash: SHA1 I have seen a weird problem in one of my clients. The reported that when issuing a smbmount command (both client and server are CentOS 4.4), it would take up to 30 second for the mount to complete. To make a long history short, by using strace and the source, I noticed smbmnt is first calling mount() using ascii options for *data. Then that would
