Post subject:  Samba Issues
I am having a hard time getting samba to work. I had it working on R5C7, but now its not work with R5F27. I think it has something to do with the name/password. I tried adding

passdb backend = smbpasswd

to the smb.conf file, but that didn’t help. Here is my output from /var/log/samba/log.nmbd

I am sure this is an easy fix, sorry I am such a linux noob. Any help would be great.

Do you have 2 boxes running Samba on the same network with the same netbios name? eg. MYTHTV on 192.168.0.7 and MYTHTV on 192.168.0.8?

Now that log.nmbd file comes out clean (see below)

  Samba name server MYTHTV is now a local master browser for   workgroup KNOPPMYTH on subnet 192.168.0.7

I can now do a manual mount using the command:

Code:
smbmount //DESKTOP/Music /myth/music/Desktop



However, my files fill not mount automatically when I restart my computer. Here is a copy of my /var/log/samba/log.smbd

Anyone know why stuff wont mount when I restart?

FYI (I followed the samba instructions on the wiki exactly. I did the update-rc.d samba defaults

I have only tried mounting Samba shares via fstab a couple of times, and never got it working. I suspect it has to do with some network component(s) not being available at the time fstab is parsed, but haven't researched it.

Try creating a script in /etc/rc5.d (say S99SMBmount) and adding your mount command to that. Be sure to make the script executable.

Thats just it, I am the one that is 'slow-to-learn', I have no idea how to do what you just said in your last post. I can really only do step by step instructions as posted in the wiki..... I suck.

Eh, we all "sucked" at some point!

Here you go (as root):
Code:
echo "smbmount //DESKTOP/Music /myth/music/Desktop" >/etc/rc5.d/S99SMBMount
chmod 755 /etc/rc5.d/S99SMBMount

If that mount command worked for you from the command line the above should work for you upon reboot. You probably want to remove those smbfs entries from your /etc/fstab.

If that works you can add the rest of the mount commands with
Code:
echo "smbmount //<whatever>/<whatever> /<wherever>/<wherever>/<wherever>" >>/etc/rc5.d/S99SMBMount
Note the double > (>>), this will append to the existing file...

Hmm, that didn’t seem to work. Maybe because when I got this to work:

Code:
smbmount //DESKTOP/Music /myth/music/Desktop


I was prompted for my windows password, which I entered. There does not seem to place to input a password with this method.

Well, you didn't mention that, now did you? :wink: Details matter...

This is the mount command I have used in the past:
Code:
/usr/bin/smbmount //SLACKBOX/SMBShare /home/scott/mnt/SLACKBOX/SMBShare -ousername=scott,password=xxxx,uid=1000,gid=1000,fmask=644,dmask=755
(That's all one line) You may not need all of the options, but you can see how to define the username/password in the mount command.

NOTE: As the above does not come from my KM boxen you should type man smbmount for particular options/information on your system.
