samba client

[jacky_pan at wistron.com.cn]

Dear Urban,

Thanks for your help.

As we discussed before,the process of smbmount is blocked to wait for a signal
of SIGUSR1 from smbfs.I think smbfs didn't send the signal.So the process can't
continue.I think this happen before reconnect(ioctl).So the question maybe is
when and where in source code smbfs send this signal.

Regards,

Jacky

No, you are trying to port smbmount which isn't the same as smbclient (and
there is no "samba client", but if there was it would be smbclient).
Easier for people to know what you mean if you use the correct names.

The uclinux.org code is from an older samba version, but whatever is
happening that is probably not your problem. The changes make smbmount
more stable, but if the initial mount doesn't work then I don't think
there is any difference.

smbfs sends that signal when it wants smbmount to reconnect. The ioctl
passes the connection smbmount makes to smbfs and that is run before the
pause(). If that step fails then smbfs will not get a connection at all
and won't work.

smbmount is supposed to block there. If it doesn't work then that is still
not your problem. I'd start checking what that smbfs ioctl does on
uclinux and what values it actually gets.
