Re: [Samba] smbmount deprecated - what about Windows 9x?

Helmut Hi Helmut, you can use cifs vfs to mount win9x shares, but need to add the following to the mount options: servernetbiosname=W9XSERVER or the shorter form servern=W9XSERVER where W9XSERVER is the upper case netbios name of the legacy server. Legacy servers like OS/2 in addition need the option sec=lanman Example: mount -t cifs //server/SHARE /mount/point -o credentials=/root/sec/.creds, \ servern=MYWIN98,dir_mode=0755,file_mode=0764,uid=test,gid=users ... Also have a look at 'man mount.cifs' about the meaning of - dir_mode - file_mode - uid - gid - ... when the server is not supporting the unix extensions. Also note that uppercasing the share name (i.e. //server/SHARE ) will avoid a duplicate treeconX call. IMPORTANT NOTE! When connecting to remote *legacy* servers like - win9x/me - OS/2 - others I strongly advise to *not* use current cifs vfs in a production environment! Initial testing should only be done against special test shares, which should not contain any valuable data! There are glitches with readonly files and the time stamps of directories/files - and possibly more... The cifs vfs developers are aware of this and are working on fixes. Everyone is invited to work with the developers to fix remaining legacy problems. Testing and reporting of bugs is very much appreciated :-) The main mailing list for the linux cifs client vfs is [EMAIL PROTECTED] Send bug reports to https://bugzilla.samba.org/ and choose the product CifsVFS These days lots of support talks are also happening on IRC.

Normal when the CIFS Unix extensions are negotiated (man mount.cifs). Between controlling unix extensions on the share and perm/noperm, setuids/nosetuids on the client, plus whether or not your user/group ids match up an the client and server, you can probably find a satisfactory solution.

Another program I use is Photoshop, which they won't port to Linux (despite the fact it is the program most wanted to be ported to Linux). Etc. I need to keep running Windows as long as I have the need for such stuff. The data files don't need to reside on that system. Virtually every app I know of, including Photoshop, can access, open, edit, and save files on remote shares. Some real legacy apps may require mapped drives instead of UNC paths but they should, in most cases, work just fine. Chris Hi all, just some additions and clarifications from my side. Samba3 / Samba4 === For some years now I'm trying hard to support the samba3 / samba4 team regarding missing features or bugs related to legacy clients - mainly OS/2, but also windows9x/me. Nice and interesting times and the experience, that the samba developers _always_ have had and _still_ have an open ear, when troubles or wishes are reported to them! The main problem is, that those missing stuff must be _reported_ to them! These days, most of the samba developers do not have any physical access to legacy client installations anymore. So it's getting more and more important to send them as much background information as possible, like detailed - debug 10 logs - network sniffs - used samba version and smb.conf settings - used operating systems (fixpak level) - used file systems (e.g. xattr support) - proposed patches - ... In addition, it's very important to help with testing suggested patches before they go mainstream. Cause some of those legacy questions can also easily be discussed on irc, some years ago I've opened 2 separate channels on irc.freenode.net: #samba-os2 #samba-os2-technical The names are a bit misleading - but all legacy smb users are welcome there. :-) To my knowledge, most of the outstanding (OS/2) glitches are solved now. CIFS kernel module: === When the first discussions about dropping the kernel module smbfs and its samba userland helpers - smbmount - smbmnt - smbumount were starting on @samba-technical about a year ago, Jeremy Allison (jra) told me on irc, that Steve French (sfrench) had already added some code to support legacy smb servers within cifs. That days I started to build my own cifs.ko from the samba hosted cifs-client svn repository, to be able to add and test code for possibly missing features regarding legacy smb servers. Cause I was not aware of the separately existing mailing list [EMAIL PROTECTED], private email exchange with Steve was starting to discuss and solve missing stuff - sending patches back and forth... for many weeks ... Steve also managed to get access to an OS/2 box, to test stuff himself. Afaik, he's testing against win9x, too. I must admit, that we had one big problem that days: Steve was doing his work on the kernel git-tree - and I was using the samba cifs-client svn repository... Both repos got more or less so worse out of sync, that the simple exchange of patches was no longer feasible. I'm working as a freelancer and got distracted from cifs due to other customer needs - which is a bit reflected in https://bugzilla.samba.org/show_bug.cgi?id=4090 Sorry for my probably upset comments... To solve the 2 repository problem, at the end of last year i did setup a completely separate linux box entirely for cifs stuff. Installed git, cogito and sparse - and joined LKML. I'm able to test here against 3 OS/2 and 1 win98 legacy box. One major issue was (and partly is) the reading and writing of file/directory time stamps - with ugly side-effects on the OS/2 side: due to the parameter lastwritetime = 0 used on SMBClose, all time stamps on the OS/2 side were reset to NULL during file- browsing. BTW - when browsing directories with konqueror, it usually tries to display some popup-contents of the file the mouse is over. - open file - read (part) of the file - close the file == SMBClose()!! = filetime = zero Another problem is the fact, that *nix and newer windows are using UTC as the base for time stamps, but some legacy servers always use localtime and send them on the wire. Today, afaik all of reading time stamps is fixed. But there are still issues when writing a file/dir. cp -p linux_src_file os2_dst_file does not preserve any time stamp (the legacy versions of setfileinfo() / setpathinfo() are not implemented atm). I mailed Steve, that this is even true, when copying to a win2k or winxp server. Setpathinfo() does not work, when the file is still open. _Only_ on winNT, a separate open, setfileinfo, close

The implication here is people still using W98 should find a way to not use it any more, either upgrading to a newer version of doz if possible, or replacing W98 with Linux, and using W98 in a virtual machine if necessary if not using W98 is not an option. But if I can't migrate, then how the hell can I replace W98? This seems to me to be very American-style thinking: if you imagine something will be the case, then it will be the case.

Re: [Samba] smbmount
No offense, but it sounds like you are venting about something that wasn't enabled for the packages in your particular distro of choice. If so, it seems to me that this is the wrong venue to vent. I would suggest contacting the vendor, distro maintainer and/or package maintainer with your concerns. Or continue to roll your own packages for whichever distro you choose. If you feel inspired, write a howto for it (if one doesn't already exist) so that people don't reinvent the wheel.

I did some more tests. Local user can cifsmount correctly, but when I joined domain (2003 ad domain with sp1), cifsmount will fail. Then same condition also happened on smbmount.

Re: [Samba] smbmount performance stinks, smbclient is good
thanks for the suggestions. an interesting update: the network between the server (a PC in the basement) and the client (my laptop) uses 802.11b infrastructure. I found a knob on the linksys wireless router that could jack up the bandwidth. (why the default wasn't maxed out is a mystery to me). anywho, before turning the knob I got say ~40-50kByte for the smbmount and ~200-400kByte for the smbclient transfers. After I get ~400kByte for the smbmount and ~670kByte for the smbclient. cool. I still wonder why there is a noticeable difference between the two. 1. Make sure you've got a new(ish) kernel. Read the changelogs to see if you're missing anything in new versions. I'm using 2.6.7 (gentoo hacked) on both the server and the client. samba 3.0.10 is installed on both. Maybe the gentoo'y kernel is wonky. 2. Try using the cifs mount instead. Personally I've never tried it, but it is a common solution given 'round these parts for probmes with smbfs kernel operations. why oh why does the computer hate me so? i enabled CIFS support and rebuilt my kernel on the laptop but mount.cifs is a no go. e.g. $ mount -t cifs //asterix/media /mnt/media -o user=root,password=big_secret gives me mount error 5 = Input/output error Refer to the mount.cifs(8) manual page (e.g.man mount.cifs) crud. -- To unsubscribe from this list go to the following URL and read the instructions: https://lists.samba.org/mailman/listinfo/samba
Re: [Samba] smbmount performance stinks, smbclient is good
Bandwidth for transferring a big file (via cp) is 1/5th that of when I do the equivalent using smbclient to transfer the file. These (mount -t smbfs and smbclient) are completely different programs running. Using a mount is a kernel module and smbclient is the samba maintained program. 1.

Re: [Samba] smbmount hanging
Paul, If you are mounting shares that are on a Windows machine onto the file system of your Linux system then you are probably using smbfs - a Linux kernel file system driver. smbfs is not Samba. smbmount is a front-end utility that belongs to smbfs but shares some code with Samba. No-one on the Samba Team maintains these tools, they are maintained by the smbfs maintainers. Asking for help with smbfs on the Samba mailing list is a little like asking a Ford dealership to handle a warranty complaint for a GM automobile. smbfs is very old out-dated technology. cifsfs has replaced it in the Linux 2.6.x kernel. Suggest you look into cifsfs. Sorry, I do not wish to be rude, but you should check into cifsfs - it is more up to date compared with Samba-3.0.x. Cheers, John T.

There are a few points that need to be made very clearly: - smbfs is old, and has known restrictions at the 2GB level. There are patches floating around to 'fix' this, but as the only restriction is in the kernel, there is nothing the Samba Team can do about it. (smbmount already contains the client-side helper routines required to support this). The issues of file-size are just one of smbfs' problems. - There is a new in-kernel filesystem called the 'Linux CIFS client' - http://www.samba.org/samba/Linux_CIFS_client.html This filesystem has no 2GB or 4GB restrictions, operates using much newer protocol revisions, and as such only talks to NT/Win2k/Samba servers (no Win9X in particular). - smbclient is the preferred tool for operations that do not need to involve a real kernel filesystem. If you are just shifting files for backups, then you really do not need an in-kernel filesystem.

Re: [Samba] smbmount not exiting
I find when calling a program from a bash script, the bash script always
waits for the called program to return. This is normal behavior as I
understand it.
You have to use the option to get the bash script to continue after
calling the program without the program exiting first.
eg.
!#/bin/bash
/bin/mount etc
more statements.
Now, this won't return the exit code of your mount attempt
You may have to capture the output of the mount command with
/bin/mount etc outputmessages 21
and then examine the contents of outputmessages to see if you are mounted.
This could be a nuisance.
You could also capture the output with:
output=`/bin/mount/etc `
and then examine the variable $output for strings suggesting success or
failure of the mount attempt.
Or, you could launch a daemon before you run the mount command.
The daemon would be a program which would run each second (sleep works
fine here) which checks for the mount and reports success, eg.
!#/bin/bash
while [ 1 -eq 1 ]
do
sleep 1
mount | grep \/mount\/dir
[ $? -eq 0 ] {
echo Mounted successfully
exit
}
done
If you call this checker, this might work:
!#/bin/bash
checker
mount etc
I am a big fan of simple scripts to solve simple problems.

Re: [Samba] smbmount not exiting
Well, smbmount is a process that runs until you umount the share. This seems like normal behavior.

When smbmount sends a broadcast packet to get the ip address of the host, it gets back 3 ip addresses as follows: My VMWare machine does this too; the only solution I've got is to use smbmount with -I, specifiying the desired (LAN) IP.

Re: [Samba] smbmount problem
Hy Yair your Q is missplaced i understand that your 50 users work on linuxboxes clients?? and mount from server (previus nfs) with samba homes directories?? I dont understand why? But this idea only work on one mount point that can mount only one user at time. This can be mounted on boot but only one user rights will be used (user logged to samba with options for smbfs) Or can be mount be login linux client script then can aply users ruless but not can mount more as one at time to one mount point /mnt/home. Try write why and what you need solve. If you need exactly mount one share for all users on boot then to fstab you must write all needed parameters for this smbfs not user but username=ACOUNT,password=PASS ... as writed on mount command -o switch without spaces. - Original Message - From: Yair Naveh [EMAIL PROTECTED] To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: Monday, July 21, 2003 10:06 AM Subject: [Samba] smbmount problem Hi I want to replace nfs mounting with smbmount I have 50 users I tried to put on /etc/fstab the line - manually per user I'm using mount -t smbfs -o username=$USER //server/share /mnt/home and it prompt for a password But I need it on boot automatically for any user so I tried this //server/share/mnt/home user 0 0 and it's not working Tank's Yair -- To unsubscribe from this list go to the following URL and read the instructions: http://lists.samba.org/mailman/listinfo/samba -- To unsubscribe from this list go to the following URL and read the instructions: http://lists.samba.org/mailman/listinfo/samba

Re: [Samba] smbmount 2GB file size limit ?

However, when I copy 2GB files from one Linux machine to another (using smbmount to mount) I get File size limit exceeded when 2GB is reached. It looks like the problem is with smbmount. Is there a 2GB file size limit with smbmount? If the problem is with smbmount, is there a patch or workaround? This question comes up a lot on this list. The smbfs driver in the current stable Linux kernel can't handle files over 2GB. I think cifs (which is replacing smbfs in the development kernels) is supposed handle large files and a lot of the other things that just don't work with smbfs. For mounting between UNIX machines a native UNIX system like NFS is better right now, but I think you can also get a backported cifs driver for the Linux 2.4 kernels. -- Michael Heironimus -- To unsubscribe from this list go to the following URL and read the instructions: http://lists.samba.org/mailman/listinfo/samba
Re: [Samba] smbmount, winbind, win 2000 permissions
Hi your idea is bad, best choice is create encrypted VPN or simply stunnel connect from your external client to NAT router. VPN NAT provide for ext.client internal IP adress and then client simply connect to W2k or any enabled service on internal network with its permision for login name and IP addr. If you try create samba on NAT then your external conection is open for hack and read passwords and data over trafic...

Re: [Samba] smbmount of Windows 2000/XP disregards uid option
Hello, Christopher! You have to run smbmount as root, which means that the Windows harddrives are mounted with all files owned by root. Unless you have a umask 0, another user, beside root, cannot write access the files. According to the smbmount man page, a -o uid=bertil gid=staff should mount the file system with bertil:staff as owner. And I would have write access. And only me, no one else on my system. The umask 0 trick is dangerous in that you let everybody change the mounted file system. Thanks for helping me out!
