[ydl-gen] Mounting Samba Share

[peter.g.harper at magnox.co.uk]

Brian,

There was an issue to do with password encryption because of a bug
in the compiler used to create the samba RPMs. In my case I was using
the YDL box as a server but it may also be relevant for clients.

I'm afraid I can't find the original reference but it involved recompiling
the
samba binaries.

Subject:    [ydl-gen] Mounting Samba Share


(Embedded image moved to file: pic28054.jpg)
Howdy:

I am trying to mount a samba share on my G3 iBook running YDL 4.0.1.

I have installed all updates via yum, as well as the samba packages.

An attempt to mount using smbclient fails, looks like an authentication
problem as I get the same error whether I enter the correct password or
not. The share is being served by a Linksys NSLU2 (the famous "slug"),
and the shares mount just fine on windows machines, OS X machines and a
FC3  i86 Linux box. Sorry I do not have the exact error text handy.

I notice that the smbfs kernel module does not load automatically, as it
does on my FC3 i86 system. If I install the module manually via modprobe
it makes no difference, although /proc/filesystems then shows smbfs as
an installed fs.

I admit I have not spent much time on this, I just wondered if somebody
else might have done the leg work and could save me some time.

Any suggestions appreciated, as always -- much thanks.
