smb oddity
I am running red-hat 8 and just set up smb to remotely mount a windows share to a folder on my '~/Desktop/mnt'
Everything went according to plan except one thing. The windows computer now boots whenever I either open a browser on my linux box, or even wake it from the screen saver. I wasn't aware that smb sends a wakeup packet out. Has anyone else experienced this, or did I do something funky? I didn't edit any config files for the mount, because I only use the share once in a great while. I simply run the following as root when I need it, and it goes away after I reboot.
/usr/bin/smbmount //bedroom/c /home/me/Desktop/mnt I bedroom c etcfi
Seems correct to me, and it does what I want, but if I don't reboot after opening the share, every time I initiate a network connection or wake the computer up, it also boots the windows box.
Another strange thing is that I don't have the wake-on-lan power wire connected from the nic to the mobo on the windows box.
Any ideas?
