FC2 FSTAB Entry
Can anyone help me understand whether anything changed between RH 9.0 and FC2 with respect to samba shares?
I usually mount my iBook's drive on my Dell using something like mount \\Server\Share /mnt/point smb fmask=777,dmask=777, 0 0 and it worked fine in RH 9.0 but for some reason in FC2 I am getting a bunch of directories that lack either read, write, or both permissions when I mount them. Any ideas? |
please refrain from double posting ... you already have the exact post active ...
http://www.linuxquestions.org/questi...hreadid=197707 when you signed up to be a member of LQ.org that was one of the things you agreed not to do ... http://www.linuxquestions.org/rules.php and for your post you can just try using umask=000 instead of the fmask and dmask since your using the mount command ... fmask and dmask are passed to smbmount .. |
Woops - I forgot that double posing was a no - no; I'll delete one of the posts.
Would the correct FSTAB entry still end with umask=000, 0 0 I never learned what the 0 0 meant. |
No luck ending the line with
umask=0 0 0 It still has not mounted with full read and write on all of the directories. Any other ideas on what might have changed? |
try
//Server/Share /mnt/point cifs credentials=</path_to_your/credentialsfile>,uid=<your uid>,umask=002 0 0 credentials file as username=< ..> password=<..> #man fstab Quote:

Permissions denied
I have no luck with that syntax; I get a "mount error 13 Permissions denied" with that syntax. What permissions should the credentials file have? Could that be the issue?
|
Disregard my last; the Mac's smb log showed it was accepting the username from the credentials file but rejecting the password; if the password is left out of the credentials file and is entered via the terminal it goes in fine, and the permissions are fine now too. Thanks so much! What changed? Are we not longer able to call up 777 permissions in FC2? These permissions look like 501 but for the correct user now (which is fine, my question is in the interest of learning)
one other question; cifs can't find the server name - I have to use the server's IP address. Is that an issue others are facing? I specify port=139 in my fstab entry because otherwise it just times out waiting for the server. Is this the right port for a broadcast name request? |
