hi,
i am new to samba and it seemed that samba documents mainly focus on
how to setup a linux box as a samba server. but i am now sitting in a
linux box and looking for a easy way to access a shared file folder on
a domain-controled network. sorry for my no patience to read every
part of the document since i have to let this job done in today.
the shared folder is something like: \\serverA\share, and if i need
to access it from XP i need to login to our domain ( D ), using my
user name( U ), and password ( P ). my task is to, do the same
accessing from my linux box using same information above. what do i
do?
thanks in advance.
Here's what I use to access a share. I don't have it mounted
automatically. Instead I type in mount /home/mnt/aux and I get prompted
for the password. You can remove the noauto and include a password in
the /etc/fstab file line for the share but that isn't exactly secure.
Note that the filesystem type is cifs. This is similar to smbfs but cifs
is maintained. :)
//hyperzip/aux$ /home/mnt/aux cifs
noauto,user,rw,user=garydale 0 0
You can also look at authenticating against a domain controller for a
single sign-on. Check the samba.org howtos and by example documents for
details on how to do this. It's not supposed to be too tricky. I've just
never gotten to it. :)
