Re: [Samba] Pam_mount + cifs

Mount.cifs will only work with KDE if you mount with '-o serverino'. -BT Thanks a lot. I will try that soon. I've long been trying to replace my insecure nfs mounts with cifs mounts but I wasn't prepared to do it in production (especially because of KDE issues). AFAICS you seem to believe it is sensible choice. A: Because it fouls the order in which people normally read text. Q: Why is top-posting such a bad thing? A: Top-posting. Q: What is the most annoying thing on usenet and in e-mail? I moved your reply to below my text... That said. Yes, and no. I've used cifs in production on 600 Linux clients for 18 months. It works, but not as well as I'd like, and in some contexts it fails to meet my purposes. Which is why we, sometime this spring or next summer, will be moving to NFSv4 for home directories. We have the Kerberos structure in place, meaning that the main obstacle isn't one. For more than 90 of our users, cifs works perfectly. For the remainder, it is a continuing cause of frustration and irritation that umask doesn't work, file create mode follows server-side settings not creation programme settings and is anything but easy to get the way it should be. Much of this comes down to file permission settings being mapped to Windows file system functionality of various sorts, which for us is a complete non-starter - these Samba servers only serve data to Linux machines. A few applications (mutt and eclipse, from the top of my head, a few others) behave very erratic with cifs, and unless you have a very tightly run ntp service emacs and various other editor-like applications will snafu on you, too. If these things don't bother you, cifs should serve your purposes. The slow file performances has been less of an issue for us than I'd expected. People are used to moving data they'll be chewing for more than a few moments to local disk - networked disk is always slow.

I've found the same.. I haven't been able to get it to work either... Craig Herring Does anybody on the list use pam_mount to mount smb file systems. I have been looking at the instructions on http://www.flyn.org/projects/pam_mount/index.html however they do not seem to work and I cannot see any information in messages.

Re: [Samba] pam_mount permissions
Has anyone gotten back to you about this yet? I just got over the headache of trying the same thing myself... the only way i could get X to work was to set dmask=0777 (which pam mount will allow you to do in your pam_mount.conf)... make sure you have the latest version of pam_mount, there are a few old ones floating around out there. This solution was lousy in my case, because I'm running a terminal system, and everyone would be able to open everyone elses home directory, even accidentally, with those permissions! Someone from a Gnome conference told me the latest version of GDM (2.4.x?) fixes this problem, though i haven't yet tried it... ... i ended up using a batch script to generate all the domain users home dirs on the linux box, including a mount point inside the linux home dir, from which i use pam_mount to mount their SMB home-dir files... I think this is actually a better solution anyway, as GDM (in my case) and other linux programs like Open office create files in the home dir that many of our users are apt to delete or otherwise break when they see them in their regular file folder :-) HTH [EMAIL PROTECTED] writes: G'day All Thank you to every one who has helped me get pam_mount and winbind working. I can now use winbind to use the passwords from a samba HEAD PDC to do authentications and pam_mount to mount the users home directory. YAY Does any one know what the option is to change the permissions on a mounted directory in pam_mount? at present it gives me rwxr-xr-x, which is fine. But I run startx and it gives me a cannot lock .Xauthority message. Im thinking is it the permissions that are wrong or would there be something else?
