    Auto setup Samba passwords by command line?

    Thanks IRudebwoy; That helps alot because of the following: The Linux distro. does auto. Login, everyone's ROOT, so file permissions are kinda moot. I'm modifying it as a PXE LanBoot client that smbmounts user's HOME & /usr. The Lan clients do a smbmount login to the [homes] share, if...

    Auto setup Samba passwords by command line?

    1) Do I absolutely have to have Machine accounts? 2) Do I absolutely have to have Linux user accounts? I'd like to keep it as simple as possable, just Samba's "smbmount" username & password. I need to setup Samba's password like this: smbpasswd -a ( UserName ) ( PassWord ) or this...

    Samba server not responding on one share.

    ... SOLVED ... I should have guessed it was my code, the command I used was: ifconfig eth0 $IP It should have included the subnet declaration also: ifconfig eth0 $IP netmask 255.255.255.0 up It no longer pauses on the next mount command, it now rockets straight through! Many thanks rzs0502...

    Hi rzs0502; Thanks for responding! I tried your suggestions & no change, after looking up info on the settings... my setup is a small LAN, 1 interface only, so they probably wouldn't help.

    Reassign IP with ifconfig = Samba; no response-retry

    I've tracked the Samba server not responding problem to reassigning the client's eth0 IP addr. with ifconfig. Client access to any share is good before IP reassignment. After that the Samba server doesn't respond with errors; SMB server not responding Smb_get_length: recv error = 5...

    Samba server not responding on one share.

    I'm using Samba to mount shares for a Linux distro that's PXE booted. The boot process went fast, now it's good up to one paticular share & it stalls for 30 seconds. It reports that the Samba server isn't responding, then tries a second time & the server responds immediately. Boot procedure: The...
