Re: [Samba] Mounting Share at Boot
Tom, Samba was installed by the Red Hat (7.2) installer when the system was originally configured. Since I am not using a self-compiled version of Samba, do I still need to do this? Should I try do see if it solves the problem anyway? Barry > if you are using a selfcompiled version, you need a link to the correkt > location of smbmount in /sbin.

Re: [Samba] Mounting Share at Boot
//sheltie/linux exists on windows. It can be accessed from both Windows (using Network Neighborhood) and from Linux (using smbclient or the xSMBrowser GUI). Do I have to do anything special with the mount point on the Linux side (/home/skidmore/linux), other than to make sure it exists?

Re: [Samba] Mounting Share at Boot
I tried the command you sent and used the quotes. Below is the result, i.e., the same error message: [root@mail skidmore]# /usr/sbin/smbmount "sheltie\\linux" '/root/mnt/sheltie/linux' -o username=skidmore,password=xxx execvp of smbmnt failed.

Re: [Samba] Mounting Share at Boot
This is an excellent idea. In investigating this, however, I have found that I can not even do the following: mount -t smbfs -o username=skidmore,password=xxx //sheltie/linux /root/mnt/sheltie/linux execvp of smbmnt failed. Error was No such file or directory.smbmnt failed: 1 - I can assure you that "/root/mnt/sheltie/linux" exists, and if I do the following with 'smbclient', I can connect. (I can also mount '//sheltie/linux' using the GUI 'xSMBrowser') -- [root@mail skidmore]# smbclient //sheltie/linux -U skidmore%xxx added interface ip=xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx bcast=xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx nmask=xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx Got a positive name query response from xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx ( xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx ) smb: \> ls .

Re: [Samba] Mounting Share at Boot
Mike, Thanks, I will take a look at this. What I was realling looking for, however, was a way to do the mount at boot rather than at logon. So far none of the posted suggestions have worked for me.

I am trying to mount a Windows share on my Linux machine at boot time. I tried using the same syntax in /etc/fstab that is in /etc/mtab, but this did not work.

Re: [Samba] Problem Seeing Linux Machine From Windows Machine
John, The problem I seem to be having is that the members of the WORKGROUP do not appear stabily: they disappear and reappear when the WORKGROUP window is refreshed over a span of about 5 minutes. The Linux server appears only rarily, so I am not surprised that I am having problems seeing the Linux shares. So, I am about to give up on doing things from the Windows side. I can exchange files back-and-forth between Linux and Windows from the Linux side of things just fine. To do this I am using a very nice GUI called 'xSMBrowser', which I highly recommend. On the other hand, if you have any other thoughts on this problem, I might make one more attempt.

Re: [Samba] Problem Seeing Linux Machine From Windows Machine
I have started to use SWAT to configure Samba, and can now see the Linux server within the WORKGROUP, but am still unable to see any of the shares. Within SWAT, when you view the 'Status' of Samba, and look at the 'Active Shares' area, should you be able to see all of the shares that are available, or only the ones that are in use by someone logged on - I do not see anything listed here.

Re: [Samba] Problem Seeing Linux Machine From Windows Machine
Well, I changed the network logon password on the Windows machine (had
to reinstall the client for Microsoft Networking), and I seem to have
gone backwards in terms of progress: I now can not even see the
Linux server ('mail') in Network Neighborhood, although I can still see
the other Windows machines on the network.
Any suggestions?
Barry

[Samba] Problem Seeing Linux Machine From Windows Machine
I am very new to Samba, so please excuse this naive question.
Samba seems to be working properly from my Red Hat 7.2 system. I am
using a GUI called xSMBrowser, and am able to transfer files back and
forth to the Windows machines on my network.
I now want to access my Linux system from a Windows 98 machine. I can see
it ('Mail') in 'My Network Places' within the workgroup called
'WORKGROUP', but I do not see any folders. I am logged into the Windows
machine as 'skidmore'.
Here is a snippet from my 'smb.conf'. I am obviously doing something
wrong:
# A private directory, usable only by fred. Note that fred requires write
# access to the directory.
[skidmore]
comment = Barry's Service
path = /home/skidmore
valid users = skidmore
public = no
writable = yes
printable = no
=
So, shouldn't I be able to see my home directory (skidmore) under 'Mail'
in Network Places?:
Network Places
WORKGROUP
Mail
skidmore
Thanks,
Barry Skidmore
