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...
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...
... 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.
There's still the 30 second delay after the client's IP address is changed from the temp. IP for booting...
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...
ADDENDUM:
Here's the error report when the client stalls at the "sys" share.
SMB server not responding
Smb_get_length: Receive error = 5
Smb_trans2_request: result=-5, setting invalid
Smb_retry: successful, new pid=155, generation=2
In line #3, what setting would be invalid (see smb.conf...
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:
