This post is long.
I have:
# smbclient configuration
//zeus/cma /smb/cma cifs credentials=/home/clive/.smb_pass,file_mode=0660,dir_mode=0770 0 0
//zeus/clive /smb/clive cifs credentials=/home/clive/.smb_pass,file_mode=0660,dir_mode=0770 0 0
//zeus/misc /smb/misc cifs credentials=/home/clive/.smb_pass,file_mode=0660,dir_mode=0770 0 0
//zeus/tamewolf /smb/tamewolf cifs credentials=/home/clive/.smb_pass,file_mode=0660,dir_mode=0770 0 0
I assume that that is the relevant bit of fstab. How do I go about finding my SAMBA server's name? If it is in /etc/samba/smb.conf, I'm afraid I can't find it. Here is my smb.conf:
[global]
## Browsing/Identification ###
# Change this to the workgroup/NT-domain name your Samba server will part of
workgroup = WORKGROUP
# server string is the equivalent of the NT Description field
server string = %h server (Samba %v)
# Windows Internet Name Serving Support Section:
# WINS Support - Tells the NMBD component of Samba to enable its WINS Server
; wins support = no
# WINS Server - Tells the NMBD components of Samba to be a WINS Client
# Note: Samba can be either a WINS Server, or a WINS Client, but NOT both
; wins server = w.x.y.z
# If we receive WINS server info from DHCP, override the options above.
include = /etc/samba/dhcp.conf
# This will prevent nmbd to search for NetBIOS names through DNS.
dns proxy = no
# What naming service and in what order should we use to resolve host names
# to IP addresses
; name resolve order = lmhosts host wins bcast
#### Debugging/Accounting ####
# This tells Samba to use a separate log file for each machine
# that connects

# Put a capping on the size of the log files (in Kb).
max log size = 1000
# If you want Samba to only log through syslog then set the following
# parameter to 'yes'.
; syslog >
# We want Samba to log a minimum amount of information to syslog. Everything
# should go to /var/log/samba/log.{smbd,nmbd} instead. If you want to log
# through syslog you should set the following parameter to something higher.

# Do something sensible when Samba crashes: mail the admin a backtrace

####### Authentication #######

# password database type you are using.

# This boolean parameter controls whether Samba attempts to sync the Unix
# password with the SMB password when the encrypted SMB password in the
# passdb is changed.
; unix password sync = no

# parameters must be set (thanks to Augustin Luton < [EMAIL PROTECTED]> for

# than setting them up individually then you'll need this

; printcap name = /etc/printcap
# CUPS printing. See also the cupsaddsmb(8) manpage in the

Sorry for posting the whole thing, but I amn't sure which bits are relevant.
.smb_pass is in the format:
username=clive
password=<password>
Is that to do with the samba configuration in fstab?
zeus is the (Samba) server and I mount the shares under /smb which you need to
$ sudo mkdir -p /smb/<share>
> I also have the cifs module installed.
>
> > ...The what? Perhaps this is the problem? lsmod makes no mention of CIFS.
Try:
$ sudo modconf
and look for kernel/fs/cifs
Haha! One success. I installed the said module.
I realise that I must sound like a doltish newbie. I amn't quite: I'm simply not familiar with SAMBA. I thank you kindly for your patience.
