I am seeing a strange problem on the two RH 9 machines upon which we loaded samba [ both the RH production samba release (2.7.something) and also on the 3.0 Rawhide samba beta release ].I am having the same problem, I thought it was something I missed in the setup. I have run the mount command with debug=3 and it just seems to stop at "Connecting to <ip address> at port 139". Sorry I can't offer any help, I'll let you know if I find a solution.
Smbmount ( or mount -t smbfs) has worked for a few years on older machines running the RH 7.2-7.3 variants and still works well today. However, both RH 9 machines on which we put samba have intermittent "hangs" after smbfs mounts. After a control-c, the share is definitely mounted, but since several mounts are run in a single script, terminating the script is undesirable behaviour. The only error message I sometimes get in strace is <not finished>.
This is a very frequent but random event, and occurs on connections from both the RH 9 boxes to Windoze boxes and other Linux boxes. Older boxes (which don't have this problem) share the same hub and unmanaged switches. The windoze boxes can map each other ( and the Linux boxes) without a problem.
Has anyone else experienced this failure ?? A strace is unrevealing, since everything up to <password> is the same for both failed and successful attempts. This could be a mount problem, rather than a samba problem.
I haven't seen anything in Google which resembles this issue.
