I am a bit of a noob to linux/unix, but I am trying to set opensolaris server to mount a windows share automatically at boot in such a way that access to the share is always there when needed. I will be attempting to set up rsynch on the solaris server for mirroring to a zfs file system.
what works: I've set up cifs and I run the commands for mount testing purposes: mount -F smbfs //Casey at casey1-vista64/testshare /mnt then I get a password prompt (I think that is something I configured when I set this all up) and I then enter the password to access the share. The mountpoint, /mnt, shows up and I can access the contents as a superuser just fine. what is not working: I went right to attempting to set up automounting by setting auto_master file with this statement: /- auto_direct I then set these statements into auto_direct: /TEST -fstype=smbfs //Casey:password at casey1-vista64/testshare in this case: /TEST is the mountpoint Casey is the UN password is the PW casey1-vista64 is the sharing computer testshare is the share name on casey1-vista64 pam.conf has these added entries that I pulled from the web: other password required pam_smb_passwd.so.1 nowarn login auth optional pam_smbfs_login.so.1 what I want to do: set this up to where when rsync needs to mirror, the data is always accessible via a mount.. (correct me if I am mistaken on how this works). I am doing this so as to get around setting up cygwin etc. and letting the server do processing/work for me. but first thing is first, [i]getting the mounting to work properly[/i]... It seems that the account credentials in "/TEST -fstype=smbfs //Casey:password at casey1-vista64/testshare" are not being authenticated or something bc when I attempt to dir the /TEST as a superuser (which in fact does mount) after a reboot I get this error: "dir: cannot open directory /TEST: permission denied" what am I missing and how do I solve this...please be specific as again, I a noob. :) thanks! -- This message posted from opensolaris.org
