Setup a samba ?
 
I have just installed a new Fedora 6 on my system.I just want to share a folder with my remote Windows Machine.
I tried :
Code:
mount -t cifs //IN-012/isd/ /mnt/window123/ -o username=peterk/ultratest%<password>,uid=peterk

It is reporting :
Code:

bad user name "peterk"
I have already been running on one of ubuntu system and its working there.
Do I need to configure samba for this.

linuxlover.chaitanya 02-15-2009 11:27 PM
Where did you type this command? On Fedora machine? If you already are running Ubuntu with samba then I think you know how to configure it. And yes you will need to configure it on Fedora as well to let windows machines access your F6 shares.
Just a thought. Why are you using F6 which is too old and out of support and updates?

your_shadow03 02-15-2009 11:29 PM
I too tried making entry in /etc/fstab:
Code:
//IN-012/isd/  /mnt/window123/              mount.cifs    defaults,credentials=/etc/samba/credential.txt 0 0
And all I run:
Code:

[root@localhost ~]# mount -a
mount: unknown filesystem type 'mount.cifs'
Can I know how gonna I make it happen?

linuxlover.chaitanya 02-15-2009 11:33 PM
But why are you making entries in linux machine and mount the drives in Linux if you need to share it with windows? What are you trying to do?

your_shadow03 02-15-2009 11:49 PM
Let me explain in detail.
I have a Fedora Machine on which SVN Server is running.I have written a script called svn-fullbackup which includes:
Code:
#vi /etc/cron.daily/svn-fullbackup
#!/bin/bash
mount -t cifs //IN-F012/isd/ /mnt/window123/ -o username=peterk/ultratest%<password>,uid=peterk

svnadmin dump  --incremental /home/peterk/svn | gzip -c > /mnt/window123/dumped123.gz
Now I need to take a backup of this Repo to the Remote Windows under ultratest Domain.
So I provided a ultratest Domain username/password.

Now There are two ways I can mount: through command line or through /etc/fstab.But I prefer going through command line.
And that too through Samba.

When I run the script it says:
Code:
[root@localhost cron.daily]# ./svn-fullbackup
bad user name "peterk"

Now Just to inform you, I setup the same on one of the Ubuntu Machine and that was working .

Now if you are wanting to mount windows shares in Linux you do not need samba configured.

your_shadow03 02-16-2009 12:20 AM
Then whats the right solution?

have you tried changing the fs type from mount.cifs to just cifs?

your_shadow03 02-16-2009 12:32 AM
Code:
[root@localhost ~]# mount -a
mount error 13 = Permission denied
Refer to the mount.cifs(8) manual page (e.g.man mount.cifs)
[root@localhost ~]#
Any idea what its talking about?
Why its asking for mount.cifs

linuxlover.chaitanya 02-16-2009 12:52 AM
Do you have smbfs installed?

your_shadow03 02-16-2009 12:54 AM
Its Done.
I followed http://www.linuxquestions.org/questi...-sucks-463271/ and make it done.

Solution:
Code:
mount -t cifs //IN-F012/isd/ /mnt/window123/ -o username=ultratest, password=<password>
Thanks chaitanya for the concern
