[Sheflug] Samba

[Richard Ibbotson <nospam [at] sheflug.co.uk>]

Dear All

Anyone know what this might be about ?

After a month or two of much travelling I've finally been able to 
return to my own domestic Samba server which lives under a pile of 
junk in a cupboard.  Pegasus Mail in New Zealand have much the same 
arrangement :)

I've checked the configuration of the Samba server and it passed all 
the tests at ... www.sheflug.co.uk/network.htm.   Gone back to my own 
workstation and tried to login to the server with Komba 2.  When I 
try to mount the share with Komba I get the following error 
message.......

"smbmount exited with errors
smbmnt must be installed suid root for direct user mounts (500,500)
smbclient failed failed:1"

I mounted it with my own name and with root user.  Same thing 
happened.

Wot does this mean ?  How do I get round this and mount my shares on 
the Samba server ?  I've read man smbmount and nothing in there 
explains what this could be about.

Thanks
