Trying to mount a Linux share on Windows
 

Hi,

I am trying to mount a Linux directory onto the Windows box.

The smb.conf file looks like this:

Load smb config files from /etc/samba/smb.conf
Processing section "[homes]"
Processing section "[profiles]"
Processing section "[users]"
Processing section "[groups]"
Processing section "[winshare]"
Loaded services file OK.
WARNING: passdb expand explicit = yes is deprecated

valid users = root, linuxbak, amandabackup

[homes]

read only = No
inherit acls = Yes

[profiles]
comment = Network Profiles Service
path = %H

[users]
comment = All users

[groups]

Also, can't seem to see the share below
AmandaBackup:/media # smbclient -L 10.80.101.15 -U linuxbak

While mounting it,
AmandaBackup:~ # mount -t smbfs -o username=linuxbak,uid=amandabackup,gid=disk /media/winshare/ //10.80.101.15/LinuxBak
-bash: !,uid=amandabackup,gid=disk: event not found
AmandaBackup:~ # mount -t smbfs -o username=linuxbak /media/winshare/ //10.80.101.15/LinuxBak
Could not resolve mount point //10.80.101.15/LinuxBak
AmandaBackup:~ # mount -t smbfs -o username=linuxbak 10.90.219.64:/media/winshare/ 10.80.101.15:/LinuxBak
Could not resolve mount point 10.80.101.15:/LinuxBak
Please Help!!!!

It seems that there is some confusion in your setup :
Just to be sure : you want to access a directory of the linux box from the windows box right?
But when I see :
I would say that 10.80.101.15 is the IP of your windows box.
So let's assume the linux box has the IP 10.80.101.10, you should rather use smbclient -L 10.80.101.10 -U linuxbak.
Or you can try from your windows box to "search for computer" and search for your linux box IP.

Also, you try to smbmount a local directory on a remote server. This will never work. Use instead
for example. Just as you would mount a cdrom or anything else, but substituting the device name with the share name.
This will mount the linux share on the linux box. Not very useful except for testing purpose, but it's the first step to accomplish.

Hi,
looks to me like a problem with W2003 Server blocking the access from the Samba box. SMB packet signatures perhaps or Kerberos timing?
