question regarding mount.cifs, samba, kernel 2.6.3

[Bart Kalita]

I'm still trying to mount  remote  WIN  shares on FC2  after finding 
"sharity" and realising that in  "free" mode it allows  only  for 1 
share to be mounted  and that  $:  mount.cifs   comes up with  "command 
not found" I'm at  a loss  as to what to do next.

Now, for the question, or rather questions:

1. am I just simply thick as a brick and the whole thing is simple but 
I'm doing something wrong?
2. Is samba offered in devel tree for FC2 never than samba 3.0.2a 
offeverd by samba for FC1?
3. Is there a posibility to have mntsmb "turned on" in the kernels form 
the devel tree?
4. Or is there an rpm or anything else that I can download to make this 
whole  problem go away?

TIA

$ rpm -qpl 
http://download.fedora.redhat.com/pub/fedora/linux/core/development/i386/Fed... 
| grep -i cifs
/sbin/mount.cifs
/usr/share/man/man8/mount.cifs.8.gz

$ cat /etc/fedora-release;rpm -qf /sbin/mount.cifs
Fedora Core release 1 (Yarrow)
samba-client-3.0.2-7.FC1

as root
eg.
# mount -t cifs -ousername=user //server/share /mnt/cifs
should work

Are you guys aboe to write to the mounted share?

I'm able to mount the share but not write to it:

My command:
(wrapped for mail)
mount -t cifs -ousername=Administrator,password="" \
  //exp-xp/J-ahn-d /mnt/J-ahn-d

Mount shows it mounted 
   [...]  
  /dev/hdb3 on /arch type ext3 (rw)
  /dev/hdb10 on /var/www type ext3 (rw)
  //exp-xp/J-ahn-d on /mnt/J-ahn-d type cifs (0)

But no write:

cd /mnt/J-ahn-d
  (I can see the files with ls but:)
[root] # touch it 
touch: cannot touch `it': Permission denied
[reader.local.net0]/mnt/J-ahn-d

I'm curious if you guys see that `(0)' as above in mount output?

[bart@nemesis bart]$ mount
/dev/hda2 on / type ext3 (rw)
none on /proc type proc (rw)
none on /sys type sysfs (rw)
none on /dev/pts type devpts (rw,gid=5,mode=620)
usbdevfs on /proc/bus/usb type usbdevfs (rw)
/dev/hda1 on /boot type ext3 (rw)
none on /dev/shm type tmpfs (rw)
//Akhram/downs on /home/bart/akhram/ type cifs (0)
//hades/music on /home/bart/music/ type cifs (0)

Yep, the (0)  is there. Despite the fact that first mount is mounted as 
administrator.

And just one more Q, is there a possibility to have thouse volumes 
mounthed at boot? and am I right to thing that it would be done via cron 
job?

You should be able to use netfs to load windows shares on boot.

windows nt/w2k/xp/2003 ?
you have to check your  share *and* your ntfs-permisssions

# mount -t cifs -ousername=admin //192.168.101.10/doku /mnt/smb/
Password:
# mount -t cifs -ousername=admin //192.168.101.10/daten /mnt/cifs/
Password:
# cd /mnt/
# touch smb/test1
# touch cifs/test1
# rm smb/test1
rm: reguläre leere Datei »smb/test1« entfernen? j
# rm cifs/test1
rm: reguläre leere Datei »cifs/test1« entfernen? j
> I'm curious if you guys see that `(0)' as above in mount output?

# mount | grep 192
//192.168.101.10/doku on /mnt/smb/ type cifs (0)
//192.168.101.10/daten on /mnt/cifs/ type cifs (0)

xp pro 2003, but fat32 on this particular share.  So not ntfs
Near as I can tell the share should be writable according to the
windows-xp  information.  In fact any share should be writable by
`Administrator' far as I know.

The `NET SESSIONS' command on windows shows that windows sees the
mount being done by ADMINISTRATOR.

Near as I can tell `cat /proc/fs/cifs/DebugData'
contains nothing that gives a clue either
Servers: 
cat /proc/fs/cifs/DebugData
  1) Name: 192.168.0.15  Domain: HOME Mounts: 1 ServerOS: Windows 5.1  
          ServerNOS: Windows 2000 LAN Manager     Capabilities: 0xe3fd
          SMB session status: 1   TCP session status: 1
          Local Users To Same Server: 1 SecMode: 0x3

Shares:

      0x20 Attributes: 0x6
      PathComponentMax: 255 Status: 1 type: DISK

no.

as administrator

//exp-xp/c$
//exp-xp/admin$

are these admin-shares writable ?
