RE: smb mounted shares under chroot
Thanks for the responses folks Ok, I got it working as a separate bind mounts as suggested. My fstab now includes the smb shares as follows: /home/username/smbshare /var/chroot/sarge-ia32/home/username/smbshare none noauto,user,bind 0 0 worked great and I now have openoffice and other chroot programs able to see mounted shares from my home dir.

Re: smb mounted shares under chroot
(i know my english is bad) i had had the same problem. so i mounted the folders i want to see under my chroot in /var/chroot/sid-ia32/... and had an soft link to the normal position where i mounted that before. fstab before: /dev/sda6 /mnt/media_n ext3 noauto,users,defaults 0 0 //winxp/f /mnt/smb/fsmbfs noauto,users,username=BLABLA,password=* 0 0 --- then i have done: mkdir -p /var/chroot/sid-ia32/mnt/media_n mkdir -p /var/chroot/sid-ia32/mnt/smb/f ln -s /mnt/media_n /var/chroot/sid-ia32/mnt/media_n ln -s /mnt/smb/f /var/chroot/sid-ia32/mnt/smb/f and in the chroot: mkdir -p /var/chroot/ ln -s / /var/chroot/sid-ia32 fstab now: /dev/sda6 /var/chroot/sid-ia32/mnt/media_n ext3 noauto,users,defaults 0 0 //winxp/f /var/chroot/sid-ia32/mnt/smb/fsmbfs noauto,users,username=BLABLA,password=* 0 0 !!it worked fine!!

The samba shares are mounted using a script on user login. These are visible under /home/username/smb-share The home dirs are mounted under chroot via fstab as follows (from the superb debian-amd64 howto): /home/var/chroot/sarge-ia32/homenonebind0 0 problem is that I can't see the mounted share under the above. The directory the share is mounted on is empty when looking at it via chroot. So I can't open (or save) any files from the mounted samba share using any programs running under chroot (in this case, openoffice). Do I need to install samba under chroot also and have a separate mount for chroot as well?? And would this even work since I would be mounting at the same point its already mounted on under normal 64 operation??? I'm a little stumped here. Perhaps I'm missing an option somewhere??? Any suggestions would be appreciated. Thanks Takis -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe". Trouble? Contact [EMAIL PROTECTED]
