I don't even install the mount-cifs script. I simply put the share definition in /etc/fstab on the client, and then use the vanilla mount command. E.g., //192.168.0.2/backups/usr/local/remote_backupscifs noauto,noexec,noatime,nodiratime,user=root,pass=eetoot 0 0 [The above should be on 1 line.] Note that my real password for root is not "eetoot"; that is simply a fake password I set up for Samba shares. Whenever I need to transfer a backup archive to the server, I simply issue: mount /usr/local/remote_backups and then copy the data across. -- Regards, Dave [RLU #314465] == dwn...@ntlworld.com (David W Noon) == signature.asc Description: PGP signature

I just enable cifs in the kernel and install the mount-cifs script. That lets
me mount
remote shares with no trouble at all.

mount.cifs is now provided by Samba.

Samba is the server. The client tools used to be a separate package but
it now looks like you should emerge samba with USE="-server smbclient".

[gentoo-user] samba vs. cifs
Hi List,
I just ran in a problem:
net-fs/mount-cifs ("net-fs/mount-cifs" is blocking net-fs/samba-3.4.6)
Somba is pulled in by the samba use-flag. The PC only is "client" to a
server running samba. Do I need samba for this anymore? More specific
(don't want to hear "moo"): Will I be able to mount a samba partition
without setting the samba use flag and after unmerging samba?
Regards
kh
