Mount command...again
Ok, here is what I am trying to do. I am trying to mount a samba served directory on a remote system onto my local system. Both servers are running freebsd4.8. I want to mount the remote directory with the priveliges of the remote owner of the directory onto my local system. In Linux I can do it this way: mount -t smbfs -o username=,password=, uid=jonr,gid=jonr //sambaserver/ /path/to/mount/point This will send my username and password then mount the share with the remote users uid and gid. Is there a way to do this on FreeBSD? I have been reading the man pages for mount and mount_smbfs and can't find out how to do this. -- Jon Reynolds <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> ___ [EMAIL PROTECTED] mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-questions To unsubscribe, send any mail to "[EMAIL PROTECTED]"
freebsd4.7 and Samba and OS X
Hello, We are having this issue with samba and OSX 10.2.3. We are using freebsd4.7 serving samba as a fileserver for our company, we have a mix of windows and macs connecting to it. The windows machines work just fine the macs are another story. I have narrowed it down to this: I can open a file/document from the fileserver on my mac and edit it but it tells me I dont have the permissions to copy it back. This is from a volume that I mounted on the desktop using the 'apple+k' to mount it. When I mount it by command line I can edit the file/document(anyfile) and copy it back with no problem. I have also found this to be true on my linux system. Exact same problem when trying to edit and copy a file back to the fileserver that has been mounted on the desktop, I get the permission denied error. When mounted by command line I can open any file and edit it then copy it back. Has anyone run into this before and have found a solution they would like to share? I have done google searches but from everything I find it doesn't answer my question or im just not posing the question correctly.

I hope most of you will be up at around 2:30am Alaska time as this is when I will probably run into my errors and questions. 8^) I have my O'reilly DNS and Bind book and Gregs FreeBSD Handbook plus I can use sample configs from my own dns server and any other doc I can find. If any one else has more suggestions I would appreciate any and all. I have to try and have this setup by Monday morning and will use every reference I can find.

The one question I forgot to ask is probably the most important one. The lab computers get their IP's from dhcp on the external router so that they can surf the Internet for other classes that they have. These are all win98 clients, so after I put up the dns server would I just have to configure the lab computers to also look at the internal dns that I created with the fake domain name to be able to do the mx lookups? Would this cause any problems for the lab computers to get to the Internet and still be able to use the fake dns server setup for mail?

Internal mail server
Here is my problem: I have a lab with students that is going to be taught how to use an email client(Outlook). I want to set them up on an internal server that will not be visible from the outside world(Internet). I have the mail server setup using qmail and freebsd4.7. I also want to use a fake domain name, i.e. labcomps.net,.org,.com whatever, so that I will be able to send email within the class and no email will go outside or from the outside to the inside. Questions: 1. Can I setup a dns server to do this with the fake domain name and not be visible to the outside? 2. Has somebody done this type of setup before and have any online documentation that I could follow? 3. Can somebody tell me if this is even a possibility?

Re: Need help installing FreeBSD
You can download the .iso image here: ftp://ftp1.freebsd.org/pub/FreeBSD/ISO-IMAGES-i386/4.7/ then burn that image to a CD. It is for the i386 arch.
