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

Code:

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)

Code:

 Netbios nameserver version 3.0.24 started.
  Copyright Andrew Tridgell and the Samba Team 1992-2006
[2008/04/01 13:47:13, 0] nmbd/nmbd_become_lmb.c:become_local_master_stage2(396)
  *****

  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

And here is a copy of my fstab file (password ‘xxxx’):

Code:

And here is my /etc/samba/smb.conf file:

Code:

        syslog = 0;
        security = user
        panic action = /usr/share/samba/panic-action %d
        short preserve case = yes
        max log size = 1000

[homes]
   comment = Home Directories
   browseable = no

; By default, the home directories are exported read only. Change next
;       parameter to "no" if you want to be able to write to them.
   read only = yes

   create mask = 0700

; Directory creation mask is set to 0700 for security reasons. If you want to
;       create dirs. with group=rw permissions, set next parameter to 0775.
   directory mask = 0700


[myth]
        comment = Myth files
        writeable = yes
        valid users = mythtv
        path = /myth

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.

Code:

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.
