Have you tried mounting using smbmount? Don Raboud wrote: On Tuesday 07 March 2006 2:22 pm, sargon wrote:

I mount a Windows server share as follows:

mount -t smbfs //server/share /n -o username=xxx,password=xxx,rw,lfs

If I browse that directory, my laptop locks up, forcing me to turn it off. This happens only when browsing as a user other than root.

SuSE 10, Samba 3.0.21c-3.1.4-SUSE-SL10.0

Any ideas? Are there other flags I should be using?

Thanks.

Have you tried using cifs instead of smbfs as the filesystem type? -- Don -- Check the headers for your unsubscription address For additional commands send e-mail to suse-linux-e-help@suse.com Also check the archives at http://lists.suse.com Please read the FAQs: suse-linux-e-faq@suse.com --------------------------------- Yahoo!

mount executes smbmount when run "-t smbfs"

Just a comment on cifs... Seems to me that cifs has PMS, only works when it feels like it... I use this for samba mounts, works everytime, mkdir /mount/point chown user:users /mount/point chmod 775 /mount/point mount -t smbfs //windowsservername/share /mount/point But did you know that you don't have to mount anymore? Open Konqueror and in the "Location" field type in "smb://windowsservername/share" should go directly or prompt for a password.. Chadley

Just root can by default mount filesystem on suse. So when you mount you need to tell the kernel that your unix-user is the owner. Try with something like -o uid=<your user>,username=..,password=... I have it in my fstab as: //server/lorenzo /mnt/srv-lorenzo/e smbfs uid=lorenzo,username=xxxxx,password=xxxxx 1 2 L.

I haven't used cifs so can't comment.

But did you know that you don't have to mount anymore? Open Konqueror and in the "Location" field type in "smb://windowsservername/share" should go directly or prompt for a password..

True, but if you prefer to have the remote share permanently available, it seems mounting it (automatically or manually) via smbmount is preferred. I'm not sure if connections opened the way you say are kept open if you close that window, but I doubt they are. Smbmount allows you to connect once, and forget about it.

Take a look at /etc/samba/smbfstab as well. -- Ken Schneider UNIX since 1989, linux since 1994, SuSE since 1998
