Ok i can see the server and the shares, but when i try and mount the share an error is displayed ' smbmnt muct be installed suid root for direct users mounts (1000,1000)'

Here are my mount settings,

Mount point:/home/exio/mnt/Server/data/
UID:1000 exio
GID:100users
File Mode:644
Dir Mode:755
SMB User:Exio
SMB Password:********

i dont really understand any of that aprt from mount point.

Also my workgroup is set up, but this is all i have changed to the comfigerations.

So any ideas whats up??

Cheers, Nick.

You cannot mount disks beeing a user... try logging as root or

find smbmount

chown root smbmnt; chmod u+s smbmnt

This will enable "normal" user tu use smbmount .....

But please note there is important security issues and this IS NOT recommanded for corporate production solutions....

good luck!

OK well when Linhood prompts me o enter my root user and password for the server and then try and mount it again i this message is diaplayed 'SMB connection failed -361:session setup failed: ERRSRV - ERRbadpw' ok so my pw is bad, im not sure what root pw to use, the one for my cliant accessing the file or the pw for the server itsself???

I dont know Linhood at all, I normaly do all that trough a console... But my guess would be that if you cannot use smbmount from a user on the client machine and then LinHood ask you about a root password, it should the be the client's machine root password.

So from there we could think that Linhood is suid 0 (root) to use smbmount with your username and password.

How do u mount the though root smbmount \\server\share /way/to/mount/dir???

LuggerHouse · 05-13-2004, 10:51 AM

Here's the exact syntaxe beeing root in a terminal:

smbmount \\\\LINUXBOX\\ShareName /mnt/mountPoint/ -o username=windowz_username workgroup=windoz_workgroup

you will be prompted for a passwd enter the windowz_username password.

sur you will be able to access /mnt/mountPoint/.

Depending of the wrights of the share, you might or might not have permissions on those files...

OK i can now see my share in windows and linux under the usert exio. But i still do not have write permitions.

the share in smb:

[data]
comment = Nick's Service
path = /data/Data
read only = no
writable = yes
public = yes
write list = exio

Any ideas as to why i do not have wright permitions???

This section is useless since you want to share from windoze (right?).
If you would have like to share from Lnx that would have been the set up to have...
Did you try to modify your share security to everyone full control in the windows box ??

yes and it says access dinied.

also
'This section is useless since you want to share from windoze (right?).

Im not quite sure what u mean by this, I would like to access the files on my linux file server with write permition from a linux box and a windows box?
