when i trashed my install yesterday and started over, i unfortunately forgot to back up /etc. oops. now samba won't work. i can do an smbclient -L servername, but i can't mount remote windoze filesystems like i could in the last instass:
the offending line in my /etc/fstab looks like this: //8track/ned /8track/ned smbfs credentials=/home/nori/.smbmount-ned,rw this exact line used to work. the credentials file is my username (with a space in the username, which is why i'm using the file instead of passing them on the line) and password. but when i try to mount it: spycellar:~# mount -a mount: wrong fs type, bad option, bad superblock on //8track/ned, or too many mounted file systems but nothing else is mounted! spycellar:~# df Filesystem 1K-blocks Used Available Use% Mounted on /dev/hda4 15559588 1260756 13508436 9% / the shared filesystem is okay, as windoze users can access that partition. and it's certainly of type smbfs. what's going on here? i feel like it must be in my smb.conf, which i pasted below, but i'm just using the dpkg defaults. thanks, </nori> /etc/samba/smb.conf (without the commented lines): [global] workgroup = 8track server string = %h server (Samba %v) invalid users = root log file = /var/log/samba/log.%m max log size = 1000 syslog = 0 encrypt passwords = true socket options = TCP_NODELAY dns proxy = no passwd program = /usr/bin/passwd %u passwd chat = *Enter\snew\sUNIX\spassword:* %n\n *Retype\snew\sUNIX\spassword :* %n\n . obey pam restrictions = yes [homes] comment = Home Directories browseable = no writable = yes create mask = 0700 directory mask = 0700 [printers] comment = All Printers browseable = no path = /tmp printable = yes public = no writable = no create mode = 0700 -- .~. nori @ sccs.swarthmore.edu /V\ http://www.sccs.swarthmore.edu/~nori/jnl/ // \\ @ maenad.net /( )\ www.maenad.net ^`~'^ get my (*new*) key here: http://www.maenad.net/geek/gpg/7ede5499.asc (please *remove* old key 11e031f1!) -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe".
