Hey guys,

I have a samba issue which is starting to make me go crazy.

I have a fileserver on our domain with a bunch of shares.
All of my redhat boxes who are not on the domain, can not mount
the shares. However the can smbclient to them.

On top of that, the fileserver is connected to two subnets on two
differant nic cards. On the other subnet, there is another redhat
box setup with the same samba configuration which can mount the shares.

If I take the fileserver out of the domain, all redhat boxes can mount.

Any ideas?

I'm pretty sure samba locks down it shares for use only by samba. One of those "keep one file from being overwritten while in use" things.

The you might want to look at smbmount to get that mounted.

If I just gave you an obvious answer, I'm going to need more detail. Just saying "It won't mount" is pretty broad. Any errors that are spat back at you from the machine would be most helpful.

The shares aren't on a samba server. They are on a windows server.
More than one client can connect to a share using samba at the same time. The issue is a domain vs non domain I believe. However the confusion comes from when the fileserver is in the domain, mounts fail, yet smbclients connect.

At first I thought you were trying to do an NFS mount to a SMB share, so we can ignore the file locking thing. My bad there.

Try and mount one then do a and see if anything there helps. I can't really say much else without some error text or in depth knowledge about your network.

What error do you get when you do a mount anyway?
