Thanks Chris... I'll give those suggestions a try later on tonight and let you know...interested to see what you find too...
Take care and thanks again... -J -----Original Message----- From: Chris de Vidal [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]] Sent: Thu 1/30/2003 2:05 PM To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Cc: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Subject: Re: Can't see all of the directories in a share with 2.2.7a-1 & RH8...but older version/kernel can You're using smbmount, right? Sounds like you're seeing only 512 files.. do ls | wc -l. 512 is a nice round binary number and is probably what you're seeing. I don't have a direct answer, but I'm under the impression that there are many broken things in RedHat 8.0 (RedHat 7.0 also had many broken things.. cooincidence??). I wrote earlier this week about a RedHat 8-specific problem "cannot find name for group ID XXXXX". Others with RedHat 8 have shared similar stories, and I'm having no issues with the same exact version of Samba on a RedHat 7.3 box. I've been using RH8 on my main workstation since introduction and I've found other weirdness. I'm not near my RH8 box at the moment but when I get back to work tomorrow I'll test an SMB mount of a Windows NT box. I could try a 2000 box if necessary. I'll do a wc -l and see what happens. I do recall having no problems with a Samba server (2000+ directories) and I can confirm that tomorrow. First, try copying the smb.conf from the 6.2 box. Smbmount seems to read a few lines from it, and there is a chance you have differences. If you have a RedHat 7.3 box handy, install the same version of Samba (I agree it doesn't sound version-specific) and try it.. it'd probably work fine. I'll try to do the same. /dev/idal --- Joe Gerkman <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: > Hi all, > > Hoping someone might be able to steer me in the > right direction and/or > help me solve my problem. > > We have a number of Linux servers (RH6.2 -> RH8) > which connect to the > same share on a Win2000 Server.
