[Samba] Re: Problems with samba under FreeBSD, not under Linux

[Vittorio]

TO WHOM IT MAY CONCERN

Found the solution for the problem widely described below, after the 
<><>.... symbols.

Here you are the solution:

I created under /root the following
°°°°°°° .nsmbrc file

[default]
workgroup=BOH_SS

# The 'FSERVER' is an NT server.
[SRVS1]
#charsets=koi8-r:cp866
addr=srvs1.boh_ss

[SRVS1:A00BCDD]
# use persistent password cache for user 'A00BCD'
password=giulietta 

I didn't change a line in my 

°°°°°°°smb.conf file

[global]

   workgroup = BOH_SS

# server string is the equivalent of the NT Description field
   server string = VicBSD
   load printers = no
   log file = /var/log/samba/log.%m
   log level = 1
   max log size = 50


   security = user
    nt acl support = no
  encrypt passwords = yes
  smb passwd file = /usr/local/private/smbpasswd
   domain master = no
#   wins support = yes
   wins server = 10.155.1.122 10.155.1.211 
#============================ Share Definitions 
==============================
[homes]
#   comment = Home Directories
#   browseable = no
#   writable = yes
    read only = No


****************

Thanks to the .nsmbrc file I was able to connect to the windows share 
with the following command line (adding the option -N to force samba 
read the password from .nsmbrc):

mount_smbfs -N //a00bcd at srvs1/Data /mnt/smb

in so doing samba desn't ask for the password and connects to the share 
smoothlhy!

What puzzles me (any explanation?) is that:

1) Even though I declare my username a00bcd in the .nsmbrc file I have 
to repeat it in the mount_smbsf line otherwise, issuing e.g  
mount_smbfs -N //srvs1/Data /mnt/smb
 it doesn't mount the share complaining about  something wrong with the 
authorization;

2) I still don't understand why - without the  -N option I'm correctly 
asked for a password but samba continues to be unable to connect the 
share.

Anyway my occasional solution works fine!



Thanks to ALL  for the many suggestions

Vittorio
