Mount SMB share accessible by all users

Hello,
I aim to have a smb share accessible to all users.
I've tried to mount with mount_smbfs ou autofs, but each time the mount is only accessible to one user and no right to group or others.
This is what i've do with autofs :
in /etc/auto_master
/Volumes/Resources
auto_resources
in /etc/auto_resources
MyShare
-fstype=smbfs
://login:password@hostname/share
Then i enable the share with
sudo automount -vcu
When i try to acces the folder, it succeed but all the rights on all files in the share and the main folder it self become rwx------
The same occure with mount_smbfs.
How can i "force" the permissions of the shared folder to fit my need ?
Thanks

It sounds like you are talking about multiple users on a single computer being able to use the same mounted share at the same time.
As you have seen this does not work. Either each will get their own individual mounted copy, e.g. "/Volumes/Resources", "/Volumes/Resources 1", /Volumes/Resources 2" etc., or the others execept for the first user will be blocked. This limitation applies to both AFP and SMB.
However if you use NFS and do this before anyone logs in then it will be accessible for all users on that Mac at the same time.
NFS is still available in Mountain Lion.

PL/SQL: How to make a function accessible to all users?

How can I make a function accessible to all users?
I have written a stored function called GET_NET_BALANCE.
I can run it but my users cannot.
I have tried the following, but my users still cannot
run the function:
GRANT EXECUTE ON GET_NET_BALANCE TO PUBLIC;
Thanks, Eileen

Hi,
You can try creating a public synonym on the function so that it is accessible to all.

Making a file accessible to all users

Hi
Win 8.1 Pro with Media Centre.
I have a win 8.1 pc connected to a SBS 2011 domain. I have an MS Access MDE file in C:\Folder1\Folder2\Folder3z\MyMDE.MDE. I need the MDE file accessible to all users logged into to the pc. No matter how I set the permissions on the MDE file and the folders
including Everyone the file is not accessible to all users. I have also disabled the User Account Control but no luck.
What are simple steps to have a file accessible to all users please?
Thanks
Regards

Hi,
According to your description, I think this should be the folder problem. However, you can try to copy this file to the root of other Drive for test.
In addition, please make sure its user was Everyone and had full control like screenshot below:

Mounted SMB share does not show in sidebar but shows up in computer

Mounted SMB share does not show in sidebar and is unavailable to some apps (itunes, chrome). Shares do show up when browsing computer. Where should I start?
This started after upgrade to 10.7.3

Interesting short term solution - drag and drop share from finder->computer to sidebar. This only works short term - after reboot share will still not show in sidebar.

Mount SMB share based on user name at Login

I'm trying to get an SMB share mounted at login for Users where the UNC path is based on the username. I have written a simple script to accomplish this:
set username to do shell script("whoami")
try
mount volume "smb://path/to/files/" & username
end try
The script works. I saved it as an application. I added that application as a login item for the group I want it applied to in Workgroup Manager. When logging in as a memeber of that group it shows up in the login items on the client as Unnknown Unknown and does nothing.
I then put the application on the client and added it as a login item locally and it worked fine.
How can I make this work via Workgroup Manager? I need to run a different script based on what group the user logging in is a member of. It doesn't even need to be a script if there is another solution to get shares mounted with different paths including the username of the user logging in. Thanks for the help. If anything is unclear please let me know.

how do you run this script on the client and save as an application?

Unable to mount SMB shares under Mac OS 10.6.5

Help -
*I can no longer mount any shares from my Seagate BlackArmor NAS-110*. I bought the device (a 1TB network drive with CIFS (aka SMB), NFS, and FTP capabilities (no AFP connectivity)) in June of 2010, and it was working fine until appx (18 Nov, 2010). My computer - MacPro 2x2.26GHz Quad-Core Intel Xeon (early 2009) with 12GB of 1066MHz DDR3 RAM and Mac OS 10.6.5. My home network is running on Apple's TimeCapsule router (version 7.4.2).
Note: Problems began after installation of recent updates:
11/10/2010 - Mac OS 10.6.5
11/12/2010 - iTunes 10.1
11/13/2010 - iLife '11
11/13/2010 - iPhoto 9.1
11/18/2010 - Safari 5.0.3
I'm not sure which, if any, of these updates may have intrudced new code which impacted my ability to mount SMB/CIFS shares, or whether this problem is isolated to the NAS-110 (actually, reading numerous posts about connectivity issues (during/over the last month or so) shows similar issues with other external drives, servers, NAS devices). The issues may not have materialized until I rebooted the NAS or the Mac. FYI: The only firewall I'm using is the Mac's built in firewall, and I've got File Sharing (AFP, SMB) set to Allow Incoming.
What happens? I can't mount the SMB shares. I can see the device in my finder. It shows up as "BA-22B9C2", and I can see the sharepoint folders (in Finder): Download, Public, and wiki. When I attempt to SMB mount the shares (by any of the following methods: Double-Click in Finder, use 'Go->Connect to Server' or using the 'BlackArmor Discovery' application) The share/folder icon does not appear on my desktop. It creates a mount-point in the /Volumes directory, but no folder appears on the desktop. I can 'cd' into the sharepoint, and I can see that Spotlight has attempted to index the sharepoint (a .Spotlight-V100 directory was created), but I cannot see the 'Our Music, Our Pictures, or Our Videos' folders inside the Public share/directory. Successive attempts to mount a share, using Finder results in additional mount points in the /Volumes directory (Public-1, Public-2, Public-3, etc), but no folder icons on my desktop.
FYI: The 'Connected servers' setting (under 'Shared') is enabled in my Finder's Prefences (along with Bonjour and Back to My Mac), so connected shares should appear on the desktop.
Attempts to mount shares using the Connect to Server method (smb://10.0.1.2/Public, smb://admin:[email protected]/Public) also fail. No folder appears on desktop. The password/login authenticates (connecting to server), and a mount point is created in the /Volumes directory, but no folder appears on the desktop.
Attempts to mount shares using the BlackArmor Discovery application generate similar results. Shares are visible in the tool. I click on the 'Public' share (which has permissions set to 'read, write, execute' for all), then click the 'Mount Share' button. I am presented with an authentication/login dialog. I log in as a Registered user (name: admin password: admin) Once again, a mount point is created in the /Volumes directory, but no folder appears on the desktop.
Notably, whenever I attempt to mount a share, Spotlight indexes the share, but then it dies on my computer. Spotlight stops indexing my primary drive (where the OS is installed for my Mac). I have to stop the mds process using Activity Monitor. mds restarts automatically, and it starts indexing my primary drive again. While this may not be critical to my troubleshooting efforts, it has caused some considerable consternation on my part.
I initially (back around the 18th of Nov, 2010) attempted troubleshooting with the assistance of Seagate technicians, but they quickly gave up on the email support, insisted I had to continue over the phone, which costs ~$14.00 per 'incident' and isn't convenient for my schedule.
I've already attempted to update the firmware on the NAS (from 1000.0361 to 1000.1081), but that won't work. The NAS indicates a firmware update (1000.1081) is available, but it reports: "Firmware is not found". I had a friend try this update using his Windows machine (and my NAS), with the same results. He tried with a a Vista box and a Windows-NT running through emulation. I also tried to manually update. I downloaded the firmware image file "sg1000-1000.1081.img" from the Seagate downloads page, and attempted a manual update on the NAS. That failed with error "Failed to upload new firmware image to system." Once again, my friend tried to perform a manual update to the NAS. He downloaded a new copy of the file (from the Seagate downloads page), and he got the same error.
The Seagate techs recommended that I update the firmware. I explained my problems updating the firmware, and I have asked the Seagate techs (via email) for a known good copy of the firmware update, but they do not answer my requests for such.
The Seagate techs recommended that I restore the NAS with a factory reset. That caused plenty of problems, as their is no mac software to recover the factory reset 'key' from the device (need device MAC, and I presume some sort of hashing key stored on the device). So, I had to cart the drive over to my friends house, and have him attempt the restore. After some initial confusion regarding the MAC address, we were able to successfully restore the device to it's factory settings.
Note: Before attempting the factory reset, my friend attempted to mount the SMB shares (on the NAS), using his Mac running 10.6.5. He encountered the same problems I encountered. When he tried using his Windows-NT (through VMFusionWare emulation) *he WAS able to mount the shares*. O.k. This must be a Mac OS issue, and not a Seagate NAS issue. - Now that the drive has been restored to factory defaults, it's pretty much empty (some folders, but no data). Default admin/admin username/password are in place.
I'm not sure which, if any of my most recent software updates may have introduced changes to smb/samba, so I tried mounting the device using other services. It's capable of FTP and NFS as well as CIFS/SMB.
I tried to create an NFS mount. I tried using two different methods (an application called NFS Manager and the 'Connect to Server' method built into the Mac. Both methods failed to establish a nfs mount to the server. No login errors were noted, but no mount points were created in /Volumes, and no folders appeared on the desktop.
I tried to connect via FTP, that didn't work either (using an my Transmit client). I'm certainly striking out with this drive. My Mac will not mount the shares/folders. I tried FTP (to 10.0.1.2 as admin) using Transmit application (on port 21). Transmit reported "Could not retrieve file listing for “/Public”. Server said: OOPS: Child died Error -162: Port failed". Connectivity protocols of CIFS, NFS and FTP (on port 21) are enabled on the NAS and the /Public share.
*When I attempt to connect using the Connect to Server method (See Apple's 'Go' menu in the Finder), I met with sucess!* ftp://10.0.1.2/Public connect attempt resulted in two pop ups. One of them said 'connecting', the other said something about "'NetAuthAgent' (I didn't write it down) wants permission to access your confidential keychain data" Presumably, this was the authentication request. I said 'Always allow'. A folder appeared on my desktop and a finder window opened showing the contents of that folder. Unfortunately, the share is 'read only'; even when I attempt to authenticate as a specific user.
Note: I don't think FTP attempts to index the mounted shares.
Prior to the factory reset, I was able to connect to the shares using the Seagate's 'Global Access' web based ftp service. Now I cannot connect through the Global Access page.
Below are 'Console' entries and a listing of my /Volumes directory. These may help resolve the issue. I deleted some entries (those I felt were unrelated to the issue). I left in stuff that's been bothering me.
_*Can anyone help me reestablish SMB connectivity with my NAS-110?*_

O.k. Thanks for the clarification. I poked around in my TimeCapsule router's settings (TimeCapsule is an Apple Airport Extreme router with attached hard drive for wireless backup/storage). Unfortunately, it doesn't look like I can disable multicasting with the TimeCapsule. I can change the multicasting 'rate'. Settings are Low, Medium, High. It's currently set to Low.
I did a few web searches, and found an Apple.com article: <http://support.apple.com/kb/HT3789?viewlocale=en_US> which explained how to disable Bonjour Service Advertisements. I believe this is the same thing as 'Multicasting'. The process is a modification of "/System/Library/LaunchDaemons/com.apple.mDNSResponder.plist", and a restart of the Mac is required afterwards.
I'm a bit concerned that disabling multicasting will interfere with my AppleTVs and iTunes music sharing, but I may try it next time I'm up for a computer workout. This task will require editing of system preference files, could require multiple restarts, might interfere with my AppleTVs, could interfere with my iTunes file sharing, doesn't have a documented relationship to my problem.
This is way to difficult for something that should just work. Did you say you had read something about a relationship between this bonjour multicasting and smb connectivity? If it was online could you post the link?
I'm currently able to connect to the drive using NFS, but I have to manually configure that connection each time I reboot (can't get the 'Disk Utility' configured to do it automatically). While it's working with NFS, it's not my preferred connect method (for various reasons).

Smb share not displaying all files in finder

When accessing a non-windows (IBM iseries) smb share, I will only see 30 objects. Windows PCs will see all of the available objects.
Is there a solution for this problem?

Hi,
Me too, I am encountering the same problem, not with Windows XP but with a virtual Windows NT machine.
I am connecting to an SMB share on a Unix server running under Sun Solaris (vers. 8) on which the Windows NT machine is emulated by running PC Netlink (version 2.0 Rev=rr24).
Viewing share folders by clicking them via Finder, I see only a maximum of 30 entries (folders and/or files) in each sub folder, though many of them contain dozens or hundreds of objects.
When I view those folders via the command line in the Terminal, I see even less: only 14 objects appear. For each sorting mode the same 14 objects are visible.
When I copy a file from my local harddisk into such a folder, it disappears immediately after copying. When I copy the same file a second time into the same folder, a message pops up rejecting the copying because another file with that name already exists. Together with that message the "hidden" first copy now appears in the finder window, only to disappear again when the warning message is clicked away.
I do see all objects when I mount the shares on a PC or on my old PB G3, running Classic MacOS 9.2.2. And I did see all objects before I migrated from MacOS X 10.3.9 to MacOS X 10.4.10.
The names of the "hidden" objects are all OK (neither beginning nor ending with a dot, etc.).
I am curious if somebody found a solution for the prob, or what workaround you are using.
Thank you
Fred

Mount SMB share

Hello, currently I'm running a osx 10.5 server setup with the "magic triangle", my server is an OD master and he's bound with AD, clients are bound with both. I'd like to setup the automount of personnal folder (smb windows sharing) for my users. Is it possible? Thanks.

Thanks for your reply, not exactly what I was looking for...
If I replace mount volume with open location then this works fine for me. A finder window opens and displays the home directory
tell application "Finder"
open location "smb://" & username & ":" & pass & "@" & server & share & username
end tell
Not content with this I now want to display the "My Documents" folder, which is within the username folder.
set docs to "My Documents"
tell application "Finder"
open location "smb://" & username & ":" & pass & "@" & server & share & username & "/" & docs
end tell
When I run the script no volume is mounted. If I rename "my documents" in the user home folder to "mydocuments" then the volume is mounted as I require. So the issue is down to the space.
Any ideas how to get this to work with a space in the string?
Cheers

How do I share pictures with all users on iPhoto

We have 4 users in our Mac. I have all the family photos on iPhoto when I log in. The other 3 users can access iPhoto but not the pictures (content), how do I give them access so all users can access the pictures on iPhoto? Thanks

For iPhoto 09 (version 8.0.2) and later:
What you mean by 'share'.
If you want the other user to be able to see the pics, but not add to, change or alter your library, then enable Sharing in your iPhoto (Preferences -> Sharing), leave iPhoto running and use Fast User Switching to open the other account. In that account, enable 'Look For Shared Libraries'. Your Library will appear in the other source pane.
Any user can drag a pic from the Shared Library to their own in the iPhoto Window.
Remember iPhoto must be running in both accounts for this to work.
If you want the other user to have the same access to the library as you: to be able to add, edit, organise, keyword etc.
Quit iPhoto in both accounts. Move the Library to the Users / Shared Folder
(You can also use an external HD set to ignore permissions, a Disk Image or even partition your Hard Disk.)
In each account in turn: Double click on the Library to open it. (You may be asked to repair the Library Permissions.) From that point on, this will be the default library location. Both accounts will have full access to the library, in fact, both accounts will 'own' it.
However, there is a catch with this system and it is a significant one. iPhoto is not a multi-user app., it does not have the code to negotiate two users simultaneously writing to the database, and trying will cause db corruption. So only one user at a time, and back up, back up back up.

SMB share not showing all available files

Hi,
At work I have to connect to several SMB shares. Most are fine, however 1 of them does not show all the files that are on that share. I know I'm using the right domain, username and password. I've checked the console and can see this message repeated when I connect.
mbgetmem(449): incomplete copy
mbgetmem(449): incomplete copy
mbgetmem(449): incomplete copy
mbgetmem(449): incomplete copy
I'm using OS X 10.4.8 and have no idea of how to proceed. My IT department do not support our Mac's so any help would be greatly appreciated.
Many Thanks
Kieran

excellent reply. Thanks for the details.
Oh, one more thing-
this 30-item limit is just in this same troublesome share.
Before the day gets away from you, ask the network admin to check permissions on this share. Perhaps the 30 files you see are the only ones that you have explicit rights to view.
they may need to ease up on restrictive permissions on this folder/drive.
(Images over a network can be funky, since Mac wants to display a little thumbnail of all those picture files...if you're viewing 'as icons', what happens if you change to 'by list'?...thinking out loud there.)
(not sure if I posted this...lost an open window for a few minutes :o

Strange behaviour of name used for desktop icon when mounting SMB shares

My iMac is joined to a Windows Active Directory domain. This works fine. User logins are setup to mount various Windows shares at login time using some custom scripts that I have written, invoked from an Applescript app that runs as a login item. Again this works very nicely. The one strange thing is as follows, and this is troublesome for me...
The sequence of commands used to perform the mount is:
mkdir /Volumes/mountpoint
mount -t smbfs //servername/sharename /Volumes/mountpoint
This correctly mounts the share on /Volumes/mountpoint
but the desktop icon that appears as a result is called 'sharename' not 'mountpoint'. Why is this a problem? Well consider that one has the following shares that one wants to mount:
//Server1/System (will be mounted on /Volumes/Server1System)
//Server2/System (will be mounted on //Volumes/Server2System)
what I'd like to see are two desktop icons with names 'Server1System' and 'Server2System' but in fact I end up with two icons both called 'System' with no way to tell which is which other than actually opening one of them in Finder.
Anyone know
(a) Is this behaviour expected (i.e. by design)?
(b) Is there a way to control the name used for the desktop icon when mounting things this way?
Thanks!

But, to invoke your app you will need to include it, otherwise you get the error above
sometimes you call
http://host:port/blank/page.jsp
instead of
http://host:port/blank/faces/page.jsp
In the last one the Faces Servlet will get your request and locate page.jsp inside the faces context. If you don't include it then you get that error

Mounted SMB shares always access root directory

Hello everybody,
I have no idea how to frame this in technical terms, so it might have been answered before. Anyway I hope someone recognizes this and can give me a clue!
My problem is this.
When I mount my user folder in my university via VPN, the finder will pop up that folder as soon as the connection is made. (e.g.: smb://student.uni.ac.uk/S_users/students/geography/smith).
However I can never navigate to this folder, for example, in a save dialog. I can also not access it again should I ever close the Finder window that pops up first. Unlike Windows Explorer, Finder does not show my user folder in the left-hand bar, but the university server's root (it's probably not the real root folder but I hope you know what I mean!). I cannot even navigate down to my folder, because I don't have the permissions on the server I guess. Even if I could it would be a nightmare! So all I can do is eject the folder and re-mount it to get to my popped up window again. Quite annoying.
This doesn't happen in Windows, which puts the correct folder right there in the list of mounted shares, so it can't be a technical limitation. What can I do? Does this still happen in Lion? It's so annoying that I'd put up with upgrading I guess.
Thanks for your help!

Can not mount smb share on osx 10.4.6

I have a linux suse 10 machine and I would like to mount files that are on my osx 10.4.6 machine. The KDE gui to do this does not work at all so I went to the command line and it turns out that os x is not asking for the password until after the timeout. From the command line I can still get the job done but why is os x not asking for the password until after the timeout? Below is the relevant command sequence.In this case the password is no the command line, but it still waits for the timeout before connecting.
linux:/home/dave # smbclient //192.168.0.4/Dave -U Dave%mypassword
timeout connecting to 192.168.0.4:445
Domain=[GANDALF] OS=[Unix] Server=[Samba 3.0.10]
You can see the timeout message and then the successful connection. The same thing happens when I try to mount the smb file system.
Any thoughts? I think this is a bug

At home I am running Suse 9.3 and have no trouble connecting to my powerbook (10.4.6). I do use the KDE "explorer" program (Konqueror) and just type in (in the address bar):
smb://IPADDRESS/SHARENAME
It takes a few seconds but a windows pops up asking for user name and password. A few more seconds and I'm in.
Are both machines on a domain or a workgroup? I just have a 2 computer workgroup called "Home" (creative, I know). In the Yast control center in Suse I configured the Samba client to be blank in the "Membership" box. Maybe try changing that around (make it blank or if it is blank, enter the workgroup name).
If this doesn't help, you may want to try posting this question in a Linux forum, specifically Suse 10.0 if possible. There are definitely a lot of variations b/t distributions, even b/t different versions of the same distro.

Mounting SMB shares

So OS 10.5 found my file server. It is listed in Finder under Shared. However when I try to connect to it with Samba username and password, it tells me "Sorry, you entered an invalid username and password."
I can connect fine from my Windows box. Any suggestions? I believe my smb.conf file is set for encrypted passwords.
I am running a Debian file server.
Ideas?
Thanks.

I've tried converting this to a LaunchAgent. I created a file called uk.ac.longroad.udrivemount.plist in /Library/LaunchAgents with the following contents:
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
<!DOCTYPE plist PUBLIC "-//Apple/DTD PLIST 1.0//EN" "http://www.apple.com/DTDs/PropertyList-1.0.dtd">
<plist version="1.0">

     <string>uk.ac.longroad.udrivemount</string>
     <key>Program</key>
     <string>/Applications/Scripts/LoginHook.sh</string>
</dict>
</plist>
And the contents of /Applications/Scripts/LoginHook.sh is:
check4AD=`/usr/bin/dscl localhost -list . | grep "Active Directory"`
if [ "${check4AD}" != "Active Directory" ]; then
     exit 1
fi
/usr/bin/dscl localhost -read /Active\ Directory/COLLEGE/All\ Domains/Users/$USER SMBHome
if [ $? != 0 ]; then
     exit 0
fi
networkhome=`/usr/bin/dscl localhost -read /Active\ Directory/COLLEGE/All\ Domains/Users/$USER SMBHome | awk '{gsub(/\\\\/, "/");print $2}'`
if [ -d "/Users/$USER" ]; then
     /sbin/mount -t smbfs $networkhome /Users/$USER/Documents
fi
This doesn't seem to be working, however.
