Re: Mount samba shares with utf8 encoding using cifs
ok, i don't have firestarter installed, and i turned off the xp firewall.
now i get:
Code:
maarten@craptop:~$ sudo smbtree --authentication-file=/root/.smbcredentials
WORKGROUP
\\MAARTEN blackbox

so this other computer with ip 10.91.16.57 is the one i'm not interested in. my windows pc is 10.61.16.155
Re: Mount samba shares with utf8 encoding using cifs
humm ... well, the problem here is that your windows computer is not allowing the ubuntu machine to authenticate to it. the username and password are getting rejected by your windows computer.
it should have been necessary to add a new user to your windows machine, and the password for that new user is what you should be using in your smbcredentials file.
what ip address does the ubuntu computer have?
Re: Mount samba shares with utf8 encoding using cifs
Thanks for the Howto.
I can manually mount my MS server 2003 share, however I receive an error "line 9 in /etc/fstab is bad"
This is what I have in the fstab;
//rootofevil/files$ /media/music cifs credentials=/root/.smbcredentials,iocharset=utf8,file_mode=0777,dir_ mode=0777 0 0
this is what I enter in term and it works;
sudo mount -t cifs //rootofevil/files$ /media/music -o credentials=/root/.smbcredentials,iocharset=utf8,file_mode=0777,dir_ mode=077
Thanks for any help.
Re: Mount samba shares with utf8 encoding using cifs
hi!
you shouldn't be able to mount a share named with a "$". see this post: http://ubuntuforums.org/showpost.php...1&postcount=77
you said it works when you mount it manually, you might try putting quotes around file$ like so:
//rootofevil/"files$" /media/music ... but i'm not so sure that should work either.

Hi I'm trying to access a shared folder on my wireless Window XP laptop and this is what happened. Any help please.
rob@rob-desktop:~$ sudo cp /etc/fstab /etc/fstab_old

Re: Mount samba shares with utf8 encoding using cifs
post the contents of your fstab file, and post the results of:

Re: Mount samba shares with utf8 encoding using cifs
humm ... how about the contents of /etc/nsswitch.conf
were there errors when you installed winbind?
have you rebooted since installing winbind?

evince gnupg kino was kept back during winbird install, yep rebooted. please bare in mind i'm a linux newbiee and out of my depth a bit, so even if really simple i might not have done it. Tried a samba install before and that didn't work either.
Re: Mount samba shares with utf8 encoding using cifs
try this ...
Code:
sudo aptitude update
sudo aptitude upgrade
sudo aptitude install winbind
then reboot and see if sambatree shows anything.
so far, it looks as if you've gotten everything done correctly.
