RE: [PLUG] Samba Issue

["Bradley Molnar" <brmolnar@ursinus.edu>]

i'm not sure how you are mounting the drives, but, next time you try
mounting, try this

mount -t smbfs -o username=<domain of 2k machine>\<username on w2k machine>
//<machine name>/<share> /path/to/mount/point

W2K requires Lanman2 or higher (it prefers 3, or so my network administrator
says).  Anyway, Lanman1 (which most of us are most familiar with) uses
username and password authentication.  Lanman2 uses a domain as well to get
permissions (i think).

Samba and newer kernels support the method shown above (i know for a fact
that 2.2.16 does NOT work, but, 2.4.4 does).  Also, be careful with changing
permissions.  If the share is NTFS, it has many permissions that you won't
be able to see (such as full control and others), and you don't want to mess
them up (i'm not totally sure what it would do, as, i have never tried it).

hope it helps

Subject: [PLUG] Samba Issue


Hi all. Im quite baffled so Im turning to the list. I have a Mandrake 8.1
machine and Im mounting shares on my win2k domain server. I can mount the
shares fine with no errors but can never see them from any user. Root seems
to hijack whatever mount point I set and it's not readable from any user
name. Each time I reset permissions they are re-hijacked by root when samba
mounts that share. Any thoughts????  - JP
