But it really is that simple. The idea is that the Linux box (the server sharing the resources, in this case the dir's you've listed) does not have to mount or umount anything. It "serves" or makes available the shares for client machines to authenticate to and connect to the samba server and access the shares. You shouldn't have "anything" defined in the samba servers fstab. All the shares are defined in the smb.conf file as was illustrated in the file I sent along with the last message.Mark Weaver wrote:Felix Miata wrote:Mark Weaver wrote:Is this a Linux to Linux connection that you're attempting to make with Samba for the purpose of sharing these files?If it was Linux to Linux I'd be using NFS instead of Samba.
well... the reason I asked was because from your orignal post it appeared you were attempting to mount the shares from/with fstab entries. If you're attempting to access the shares from a windows machine, it's been my experience that all that is needed is that the shares be defined, their permissions set, users created, and then the connecting machine have a login corresponding in both username and password to the samba user on the serving machine. Thats really all there is to it.Were it so simple. I think you missed the problem entirely. These are the share definitions as represented by /etc/fstab entries: //z1590/E /mnt/z1590/E smbfs ro,credentials=filename,user 0 0 //z1590/G /mnt/z1590/G smbfs ro,credentials=filename,user 0 0 //z1590/I /mnt/z1590/I smbfs ro,credentials=filename,user 0 0
