similar to: Problems configuring SAMBA share on remote machine

I'm trying to access files on a networked Windows machine from my linux box (CentOS 4.4) using SMBFS mounting but it doesn't work. I've checked the Service Configuration and there's no sign of the smb entry in the list. Do I have to install this additionally and if so how, as I thought it would be installed as part of the standard workstation package? Andy

I'm trying to set up mounting of a Windows share for non-root users via /etc/fstab on a CentOS 4.6 box - I've followed the instructions at: <http://wiki.centos.org/TipsAndTricks/WindowsShares> Using something like the /etc/fstab example given in the wiki page (with, of course, using a valid share, username and password for my set up): //winbox/getme /mnt/win cifs

I posted this to the CentOS list and was advised to post here so here goes ... I've looked at the CentOS docs-list as well as the Wiki as I was interested in Samba. On one CentOS box I've got 3.0.32 (the latest bug-fixed version from Samba.org) and on another I've got 3.0.28 (the latest from upstream). The docs look almost the same and the docs refer to security = share. However

Hi - using gnome I am trying to use Places -> Connect to Server to mount a windows share. I can do: smbclient //disk.site.edu/uname$ -U uname%passwd but have not been able to transfer that infomation into the GUI that can mount the Windows Share, specifically can't figure out how to enter the password. I'm trying make things as simple as possible for windows students to use

Hi I think I hit the cifs bug described at http://wiki.centos.org/TipsAndTricks/WindowsShares and http://bugs.centos.org/view.php?id=1776 As CentOS Wiki said, CentOS 5.0 do have a bug fixed cifs.ko, so I thought it should be in CentOSPlus repository ... so I upgrade my kernel and using 2.6.18-8.1.10.el5.centos.plus. After I use this kernel release, I check the cifs.ko and see the following: $

Hello everyone, I have an obscure issue that I have been so far unable to find the answer to. I have successfully mounted a windows NTFS file share using samba via the following command: mount -t smbfs -o username=<USERNAME>,workgroup=<WORKGROUP> //winserver/winpath /mnt/win It mounts just fine but performing an ls -al command shows my user (or "root") as the owner of all

There was some discussion recently about the Solaris /dev/random support that can be downloaded from Sun's patch archive as part of a patch to the Sun Web Server 1.0 product. The SUNWski package is the interesting bit that purports to provide /dev/random. It was noted that domestic and international versions of the patch existed and that only the international (no encryption) version was

Using GUI methods (read: easy for most users), is there a way to map to a Samba share and have it accessible to all applications? Going through Nautilus I'm able to create a link to the shares, but they're not accessible from many applications. And, obviously, this is going to be something that changes per user (different mappings, different credentials, etc), so I can't use a static

Hi, I have CentOS 5 with the XFCE-4.4 window manager installed. (BTW, I've tried many XFCE-centered distros before, and CentOS offers by far the cleanest implementation). Two questions for that. 1) I've seen various HOWTO's about how to display Samba shares with the Thunar file manager. Did anyone manage to do this with CentOS? 2) Is there some HOWTO about configuring that nice

Hi, I am searching smbmount command on centOS 5. On, CENTOS 4.4, I used it as follows to backup data to a window PC.

Hi all I am trying to use the cifs module to mount a share from a win2k3 server but I am getting the following error in /var/log/messages - the filesystem does mount but i'm having other issues accessing the data from our web based app. Can anyone explain why I get this error please?

Hi, I'm trying to mount a Windows folder from a Linux box with the command: # mount -t smbfs (...) but I get the error: "mount: unknown filesystem type 'smbfs'". Does this mean that CentOS mount doesn't support smbfs type ? If so, how can I enable it ? I'm using 5.1 Any help would be appreciated. Warm Regards, M?rio Gamito

I solemnly puke upon people who break things and call it progress. Get ye to Redmond. I upgraded Centos3.8 to Centos5.4; smbmount is gone. Mounting a WinXP share requires a new instantiation of the old command smbmount \\\\hostname\\path\\to\\share /local/mount/point -o ip=123.12.34.234,username=hostname\\my_userid,password=whatever which should now be mount -t cifs <somebody please

Hi, I'm currently thinking of putting more functionalities to Linux server box. Major is Asterisk, but would also like to add video surveillance, home automation and limited (for only domestic up to 4 users) web, file and mailserver apps. I know there are problems running Asterisk with other such apps on same machine - but wonder if I can take advantage of dual processor machine in this

Has anybody had experience with installing Supervoice (2.6) fax/voice software in wine? I've installed it apparently OK (although I do seem to remember getting some error on installation) - it seems to start to run OK, but with some glitches! Each time, it wants to re-detect and configure the modem - why?! Also, it shows me the messages (fax and voice) which were stored in the modem (USR 56K

OK, I've downloaded and unzipped the firmware files in ipw2200-fw-3.0.tgz - so I have 4 files: ipw2200-bss.fw, ipw2200-ibss.fw, ipw2200-sniffer.fw and LICENSE.ipw2200-fw, all of which I've placed in the /lib/firmware directory. Unfortunately, the instructions in README.ipw2200 and INSTALL are not clear as to what to do next. I'm using CentOS 5 on my (Dell) laptop so setting-up wireless

I launched www.goiax.com last week, which is intended to promote the use of IAX as a free and open source alternative to products like skype. There is no charge for the service.
