Description michael_wardle 1999-10-22 10:41:04 UTC

smbmount fails to resolve a host

command issued:
smbmount "//STANNS_SERVER/USERS" /mnt/server -U ... -W ...

on a local (C class?) network which has a SMB fileserver

tried as root and a non-privileged user

traced behaviour to smbmnt which seg faults on my system
when running the command, regardless of parameters

Comment 1 Bill Nottingham 1999-10-22 14:43:59 UTC

I can't reproduce this here.

Is stanns_server a DNS name, or only a WINS name?  Are you
using a WINS server?

Comment 2 michael_wardle 1999-10-23 03:51:59 UTC

I assume that it's only a WINS name, as our name server would be
172.22.6.1 (the IP for the SMB server is 172.22.6.51).

I don't administer the network, so I can't tell you too much more, but
I could connect perfectly normally to the server in Red Hat 6.0, so I
am guessing that this is a fault with the new smbmnt.

Perhaps it is just my smb.conf file, although I can't see how.

Comment 3 Bill Nottingham 1999-10-25 16:29:59 UTC

What's the full command line you are using? The flags
to smbmnt changed fairly significantly.

Comment 4 michael_wardle 1999-10-26 01:09:59 UTC

COMMAND:
smbclient -L STANNS_SERVER
OUTPUT:
Added interface ip=172.22.6.240 bcast=172.22.6.255 nmask=255.255.255.0
Connection to STANNS_SERVER failed

COMMAND:
smbmount "//STANNS_SERVER/USERS" /mnt/server -U mwardle -W STANNS
OUTPUT:
Added interface ip=172.22.6.240 bcast=172.22.6.255 nmask=255.255.255.0
smb_retry: no connection process
Could not resolve mount point /mnt/server

COMMAND:
smbmnt
OUTPUT:
Segmentation fault

Can send smb.conf file if it would be useful, although I think this is
used only if my box is an SMB server.

Comment 5 michael_wardle 1999-10-26 01:31:59 UTC

After you said the the flags had changed, I thought that I would
double check the man pages to find out what they were.

The solution was as simple as specifying -I 172.22.6.51 in addition to
the other parameters.

Both commands now work fine.  Sorry for the inconvenience.
