Samba is your friend. I believe it is installed by default.

I know it is my friend but when i go into yast to configure samba, there is no samba option. Do you have to config it via CL? -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe@opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse+help@opensuse.org

Look at

man mount.cifs

a share can be mounted into a home directory mount point with the following....

mount -f cifs -o <cifs mount options> <share path> <mount point>

sorry mount -t

smbfs support is no longer distributed by SuSE.

BTW This is the case for 10.x for earlier versions look at man smbmount there is no-one maintaining smbfs support so cifs is now prefered... - -- ============================================================================== I have always wished that my computer would be as easy to use as my telephone.

OK after mounting the cifs share and a reboot, now i am unable to login. It gets to the login screen and just flashes never giving a chance to login. I can ctrl-alt-f5 and login as root but x will not start.

Now that is odd. Basically this should act as a normal mount and disappear when you reboot, or when you umount. Have you made any alterations to /etc/fstab? Is this AD or Domain Services...Is the machine registered in the Domain and is your machine authentication local or otherwise? One thing that does occur to me is that the AD/Domain machine account may have been trashed (but I was under the impression that there was only very limited client support for this anyway in Samba) and I do not think you need this functionality to just mount a share from Linux in any case. Bit bemused by this report, mounting a share in this way should not take out X (unless you have an X application running from the share but that does not make sense).

I thinks this is time to dig into the logs.. The root account I assume is local, if you cannot login via the Windows Network in the first instance I would check both ends for authentication problems at the start of the session. Not knowing the structure and configuration of your setup cannot suggest much more, Windows Networking has a nasty habit of leaving broken things lying around in obscure places, which either go away of their own accord or hang around causing grief until finally nailed down. < snipped for sake of my sanity> .. mixing top and bottom posts is making me dizzy :-) - -- ============================================================================== I have always wished that my computer would be as easy to use as my telephone.

I know it is my friend but when i go into yast to configure samba, there is no samba option. Do you have to config it via CL?

Nope. If it isn't showing up in yast then you need to install it. It ships with SUSE so a quick search in Software Management will get you what you need. Once installed go back into yast and you will find it a simple matter to get things up and running. Jesse

No i did not install samba. Umount /path/to/mount says "not mounted" but i can not get into the "desktop". I have not done any updates as zmd is broken in SP1 and SP1 was installed over a month ago and it has worked since then.
