Hi!
I got a question regarding samba automounting in FreeBSD. I'm running
FreeBSD 6.0 and have Samba3 installed.
Manual mounting works fine, but I do need to enter a password. This is
regardless if its a specific mount or mounting a /etc/fstab entry.
As far as I've understood things, to get automounting working properly
(w/o the password request) I need to enter a few entris in
/etc/nsmb.conf. And so I've done.
If I use lowercase letters for the[COMPUTERNAME] and
[COMPUTERNAME:USERNAME] section, it just gets ignored.
If I use all uppercase, I get "syserror: connection reset by peer".
I've tried a few combinations of various /etc/fstab capitalization and
/etc/nsmb.conf capitalizations, but to no avail. Either i get
"connection reset by peer", or I get a request for the password.
Here's a working nsmb.conf, with names etc. suitably obfuscated. You
need to use upper case, because windows seems to need it. Make sure
that Windows actually exports your share - I can't help with that as I
know next to nothing about it - the Windows techie does it :-)
In this example, the addr= makes the connection actually happen to an
alternative name for the server, which happens to be on a Gbit, rather
than Mbit LAN. I don't believe it's required, but you could use the
proper DNS name for the windows server here - it might help. I think
you probably need that name to appear in /etc/hosts just in case DNS is
unavailable when the machine reboots, if you do want to auto-mount.
[SERVER01]
addr=server01-alt
[SERVER01:USER.NAME]
password=thepassword
[SERVER01:OTHERUSER.NAME]
password=theotherpassword
[SERVER02]
addr=server02-alt
[SERVER02:OTHERUSER.NAME]
password=theotherpassword
And fstab has e.g.
//[EMAIL PROTECTED]/thesharename /mount-point smbfs rw 0 0
//otheruser.name/othershare /other-mount-point smbfs rw 0 0
and mount /mount-point or mount /other-mount-point works without
password prompting.
