Forwarding didn't work. Trying again... Hello-lo-o All-anybody?-none_I_guess,,.
I have managed to get the '�' (o-slash) I need by using 'cifs' to mount my shares in stead of 'smbfs'. Here is an example: mount -t cifs //10.20.30.40/data /mnt/Server -o user=someuser,password=somepassword,iocharset=iso8859-1 (without iocharset you get UTF8, which is fine for the most part, but not on all systems). Various other options can be specified, such as uid and gid. I get many error messages of various kinds if I do not explicitly state 'password=' (on Mandrake against W2K server). On SuSE this works: martin:/mnt # mount -t cifs //w2k/inetpub windows/ -o username=martin,iocharset=iso8859-1 Password: On Mandrake it wouldn't work unless I used the IP address in stead of the NetBEUI name of the server. That stumped me for a while... This worked really well on SuSE Linux 9.1, but I needed to update the kernel on Mandrake 10 for it to function. I fetched this one: ftp://ftp.sunet.se/pub/Linux/distributions/mandrakelinux/devel/10.1/ i586/Mandrake/RPMS/kernel-2.6.8.0.rc1.1mdk-1-1mdk.i586.rpm (one line) It is possible that all I needed to change was NetBEUI name to IP, but the error messages were different on the two kernels.. The latest pam_mount works with cifs, but apparently doesn't remember to add '-lz' to the Makefiles so you'll need to help it out there... The options to pam_mount for cifs are bugging me right now, but I should have a handle on that soon. So, fellow Scandinavians, if you are lacking parts of you native alphabet, try mounting with 'cifs' in stead of 'smbfs' and see what happens. I hope others will find this useful, since I have not found a single thing out there that mentions this as a possible solition for native alphabets gone wrong... -- ### Martin Moeller Liga LinDist ApS.
