[SOLVED]Setting up Arch to read CIFS shares but no smb.conf

I am trying to ACCESS CIFS shares from another computer. Other clients can access these shares without issue. I am NOT trying to host files from Arch.
Reading I have done: wiki pages on SAMBA and SMBCLIENT.
Reading the SMBCLIENT wiki page, it apparently states that only the package smbclient should be installed, which I did.
But, following the SMBCLIENT wiki, it shows to issue:
#smbclient -L
#smbclient
both error saying smb.conf can not be read. BTW, is the -L to just list the shares available from any place?
Questions:
1. So, should smb.conf be created to use smbclient? This package evidently does not install smb.conf in any form.
2. Does the SAMBA package need to be installed to use smbclient? Samba does install a smb.conf.something.
Any tips you have so I can read CIFS shares will be appreciated.
Thanks
steve.

Reporting my results at resolving my issues
1. installing smbclient provides the described ftp-like environment while accessing CIFS shares. It works fine. I used
$smbclient //OMV/steve -Usteve%omv
to access my share on the OMV server. I could list, get and put files. I still get the message about no smb.conf file but it works.
2. Installing gvfs-smb package allowed Thunar to display the shares. In my case, I do a Ctrl-L and then smb://OMV/steve and I can display the shared content perfectly! Click to remember password or it apparently does not work.
Hope this helps someone.
Steve.

solved Setting up Arch to print to remote cups printer?

Any useful info on setting up Arch to print to remote cups printer? I did'nt succeed using the Cups Setup guide:

After a bit of searching I have managed to get remote printing to my cups server to work.
I reference 2 documents that helped me resolve this issue.
My searches were specific to my Brother hl1240 laser printer, Arch and cups but I think the resolution is general enough to help others who may have a different model of printer.
http://linuxprinting.org/cups-doc.html
4. Install the Foomatic scripts.
(If you are using a native CUPS Raster driver, or are using a PostScript printer with a PPD from your printer vendor, you probably do not need Foomatic and should skip this step). Download foomatic-rip and foomatic-gswrapper:
cd /usr/bin
wget http://www.linuxprinting.org/foomatic-rip
wget http://www.linuxprinting.org/foomatic-gswrapper
chmod 755 foomatic-rip foomatic-gswrapper
ln -s /usr/bin/foomatic-rip /usr/lib/cups/filter/foomatic-rip
The location of the CUPS filter directory may differ on other installations; look around for it. Also, be sure that your Perl interpreter is in /usr/bin (if not, edit the first line of the scripts).
http://www.archlinux.org/pipermail/arch … 03203.html
Here's what solved this for me. I browsed
http://linuxprinting.org/cups-doc.html and notice the following:
"Download foomatic-rip and foomatic-gswrapper."
Well, Arch only seems to supply foomatic-gswrapper, not foomatic-rip. When I
attempted to install the Arch foomatic-filters package, it complained,
saying foomatic-gswrapper is already contained in filesystem, with no
mention at all of foomatic-rip. The foomatic package also failed to install
foomatic-rip.
So I downloaded foomatic-rip from the above web site, copied it to /usr/bin,
where foomatic-gswrapper lives. Then I followed the next set of
instructions in the above mentioned document:
chmod 755 foomatic-rip foomatic-gswrapper
ln -s /usr/bin/foomatic-rip /usr/lib/cups/filter/foomatic-rip
I was never able to use the http://localhost:631 interface to get printing to work even after:
[1] installing foomatic-rip and foomatic-gswrapper in the proper directory
[2] running chmod to make them executable
[3] creating the link as in the above quote
[4] running /etc/rc.d/cups restart
Setting up remote printing with kprint in administrative mode works very well, though.
This seems to be somthing that needs to be addressed in future releases ( I'm running 0.7.2) or maybe it was fixed in 0.8, though I have not seen mention of it.
Hopefully this will help someone else with a similar problem.

[Solved]Setting up arch with Geforce 610m, not sure which drivers

Just as the subject states, I'm on an asus k53sd with a nvidia geforce 610m gpu and I'm not sure which drivers to install. I believe nvidia from the official repo is a necessary one but what else? There was also an intel based driver but I need to edit in what was since I can't remember.
Last edited by cj360 (2013-10-21 22:37:21)

a GTX 610M is definitely not a legacy card. The 9800GT is, but yours definitely isn't. My laptop has a 480M, and still will be supported by the main drivers for a while. Even the 280 is still supported well in the latest drivers.
You are very likely using Optimus as pointed out by circleface. Especially as you mentionned using an Intel driver, I'm pretty sure you are on an Optimus laptop (like they almost all are since the past 3-4 years). Read this: Optimus and this Bumblebee. You need a special configuration to have it work, involving optirun and prismrun.
You probably don't really need nvidia-xconfig especially if using Bumblebee. I think it does that by itself when it starts so you don't need to configure the hidden xorg server.

Finder cannot access CIFS share but Terminal can

Hello,
when I connect to a Samba share of my university for which the folder permissions are set via NFS ACLs, Finder gives an error: The folder FOLDER cannot be opened because you don't have permission to see its contents.
Access via Terminal to the folder FOLDER works fine though.

Accessing Windows CIFS Shares via Nautilus

Hi,
I've recently installed and configured Solaris 11, am having problems accessing Windows CIFS shares via Nautilus.
I've installed both samba (needed for CUPS to print to printers connect to a windows pc) and smb/client. The smb/client and samba services are running. The smb/server service is not installed.
I can print to any printer on the windows PC I'm trying to access via Nautilus, so I know my username/password for accessing the pc are correct.
I can also manually mount any share on the windows PC via the cli (eg mount -F smfs -o user=elin //elink/users /mnt), and browse the files directly that way, except the file permisssions don't seem to align with any unix user. Again this just shows that the username/password combination is ok.
For Samba, I'm using the default smb.conf file as /etc/samba/samba.conf. Workgroup is set to WORKGROUP in smb.conf.
On the Windows pc, in the security event viewer, I can see the auth request, however is failing with bad password (event ID 4776, error code 0x006a). In the default group policy object for networking, I've set to accept "LM & NT, NTLMv2 when neogiatated", as this allows legacy clients to connect. (Legacy meaning NT4, Win95, etc, and also has the benefit of allowing other OSes to connect as well).
I'm also able to access the WIndows PC CIFS shares from an Arch Linux based setup (running GNOME 3.2 w/ Nautilus 3.2), so I doubt it's the Windows side of things causing the problems. Additionally, when I was running Solaris 10u9 (just before upgrading to Sol11), I was able to access the shares via Nautilus as well.
So my question is:
1. Does Nautilus use Samba or the Oracle smb/client service to handle mount windows CIFS shares?
2. What log files or configuration files do I need to looking at to help with this error?
As a side question,
I've found that on a clean installation running the "Print Manager" accesses CUPS fine, but once you install a printer, it'll no longer connect to CUPS, unless run from the cli "sudo system-config-printers". So this is a permissions issue, where's the best place to fix/handle that one.

Replying to my own thread, as I have a possible but very-hackish solution.
To add some further details to my original post.
There are 4 PCs on the LAN.
1. Hellfire - OS = Solaris 11 11/11
2. Brimstone - OS = Arch Linux
3. Elink - OS = Win7 Pro x64 SP1
4. IsaacPC - OS = WinXP Home SP3
Attempting to connect to Elink from Hellfire, accessing CIFS shares via Nautulis fails. (Mounting shares via Nautulis fails, but works fine from CLI using 'mount' command which to my understanding uses the smb/client service to work). Elink also hosts all the printers on the LAN, a HP LJ1200 and an Epson Fax/Printer/Scanner.
Helfire does attempt to authenticate, as listed in the event logs on the Win7 PC (elink), but is returning bad password when using Nautulis. (but printing from hellfire to either printer on elink works fine, as does mounting CIFS shares using 'mount').
Booting the live CD of Solaris 11, also exhibits the same non-working behaviour when attempting to mount CIFS shares in Nautulis.
Attempting to access CIFS shares on elink from Brimstone (via Nautulis 3.2 within GNOME 3.2), or from IsaacPC works fine.
Hellfire configuration.
Samba is installed, but NOT running (samba is needed for accessing the printers on elink, as CUPS needs smbspool which is part of the samba package), and the native smb/client service is also running.
smb.conf is a direct copy of the default *.conf file, except the WORKGROUP is set to 'WORKGORUP'. There is a symlink to smb.conf in /etc/sfw/smb.conf -> /etc/samba/smb.conf
Onto the hackish-fix.
I've noticed that there are 2 copies of libsmbclient.so installed on the system, one in /usr/sfw/lib (part of the "libsmbclient" package) and another in /usr/lib/samba (part of the "samba" package).
"libsmbclient" appears to be based on samba 3.5.8 codebase, and is linked to the gvfsd-smb daemon (this is the software that Nautulis uses to talk SMB to access CIFS shares).
"samba" is based on the samba 3.5.10 codebase, and it's installation has nothing to do with GNOME or Nautulis in any manner.
Using any of the samba included tools to test SMB/CIFS functions, work with 1 minor exception (which I'll list below). eg, using smbclient I can list all shares on any PC on the LAN, etc.
So as a hunch, I renamed the libsmbclient.so.0 in /usr/sfw/lib, and symlinked /usr/sfw/lib/libsmbclient.so.0 -> /usr/lib/samba/libsmbclient.so.0 (so that gvfsd-smb is linked against the slightly newer version of the libsmbclient.so as included in the samba package located in /usr/lib/samba).
I rebooted Hellfire, and now I'm able to access CIFS shares via Nautulis, provided that some form of authentication is needed (that is a username and password is needed - guest access and blanks passwords don't work - but these IMO should be disabled immediately as part of a baseline security package in regards to Windows - so no harm there).
Now to the minor exception I noted earlier. When using smbclient to actually connect and transfer files, I get:
ld.so.1: smbclient: fatal: relocation error: file /usr/lib/libreadline.so.5: symbol tgetent: referenced symbol not found
As far as I know, tgetent is part of libtermcap.so, so I guess when building smbclient or libreadline.so, the link reference to termcap was left out? (or something like that). Anyway, that's another issue...

Failure of ACL setting for CIFS share resource on Windows client logined with administrator account

Hi,
We accounter a puzzle of ACL setting for a CIFS share resource. In our application, we use the
administrator account to login a Windows 7 OS which is used as the CIFS client. We can access the share resource by "\\server_ip" on this CIFS client, but we can't add
a new ACE to the ACL of a CIFS share resource provided by a CIFS server.
Why dose this hanppen? Note that the CIFS server maybe a Windows OS or a self-developed CIFS server.
The operation details as followed:
1.Access the share resource by "\\server_ip", login the CIFS server by a valid account on the CIFS server.
2.On the Windows client, select the "Security" panel in the mouse-right-button properties dialog of a cifs share resource.
3.To add a new ACE for someone eg. user0, we input "user0" in the "Select Users ans Groups" dialog popped up.
4.Click OK, but the Windows client will not get the user information for user0 from the CIFS server.
WHY?
5.By wireshare network trace, we find the Windows client didn't send any SAMR requests to the CIFS server.
6.Restart the Windows client OS and login again with another account except administrator, carry out the above operations. We find that the Windows client can get the user information, opposite with the step 4 above.
WHY?
7.By wireshare network trace, we find that the Windows client has sent SAMR requests to the CIFS server to get user informations. But that is different from step 5, WHY?
If the Windows client OS is login with administrator account, is there any configuration on Windows client to decide whether request user information on CIFS server when setting ACL for CIFS share resource?
Expect your help.Thanks.
Best wishes.

I have a client that uses Windows that has recently told me she can no longer open the PDFs I send her. I can't find this elusive "Always Send Windows-Friendly Attachments" setting that I have read may solve my problem. Can someone get me there?

Dear Dan,
It was from InDesign that I was creating the shared pdfs. I was one of two Mac drivers in a corporate sea of Win users and had to make the change I mentioned in order for the Win users to see my pdfs for review. The difference from what you appear to be doing was that were all on an MS Exchange Server so the files were shared over the company's Exchange Server e-mail system. However, some of these files occasionally went to outside users via regular e-mail and those people had no issues either.
So what I did was tested and worked for years.
You might look at the Adobe forums or Knowledge Base to see if that is a reported issue with newer version of CS. I was on CS2 when I was doing this, and the other Mac driver was on CS3 but had no problems either.
Some Win users I've talked to find a problem opening some pdfs (not mine) in general and found they had to open Reader first and them open the file from Reader's File menu. That most often happened if the client was using an outdated version of Reader.

Read-only CIFS share--5320 NAS Gateway Cluster

Is it possible to share CIFS shares read-only using Active Directory authentication, then revert to normal read-write operation? We would like to make information available while we are finishing an incremental copy from an old data source.

I have the same problem so I think I will try to explain it from my point of view and see if we get any comments.
I have a Real Strorage 7110 (Try & Buy)
What my windows guys would like and what they do already on Windows Systems:
Real Disk Layout = G:\shome\username
share "shome" => G:\shome (Default ACL)
User (Owner) = Full Access=rwx+inheritance
Other = x+inheritance
Domain Admin = Full Access=rwx+inheritanceshare "username" => G:\shome\username (Default ACL)
Inherit from above (shome)
Group Staff = rx+inheritanceBy the looks the Sun way is to setup up every share with all the relevant ACL, since you can not setup ACL on the directory above (project). Am I correct
Real Disk layout /export/shome/username
share "username"
User (Owner) = Full Access=rwx+inheritance
Other = x+inheritance
Domain Admin = Full Access=rwx+inheritance
Group Staff = rx+inheritanceThanks

Random error accessing CIFS shares from Windows

I am setting up some CIFS shares to be used from Windows clients and in the process I had some random problems accessing the shares.
In hope of finding the answer I checked the CIFS Service and the Active Directory Service, and while watching the screen for Active Directory Service I saw that the "Selected Domain Controller" changed from one to another. I now stayed within this screen and noticed that the "Selected Domain Controller" continued to change and then I found the problem, because an unknown Domain Controller appeared. The IP was 216.150.17.8
I found that when ever this Domain Controller was the selected one, all access to CIFS shares from Windows clients failed! This is correct, because the 216.150.17.8 of course is unaware of all users in Our Domain
So the Questions are:
- what is happening?
- and how to solve this?
- why is a Domain Controller 216.150.17.8 sometimes the Selected Controller?
- where does this 216.150.17.8 come from?
Have You seen anything like this?

I now have found out why the DC changes - it is because the CIFS service is restarting ;-(
This is a log snip
2009-5-14 09:24:53 Executing start method ("exec /usr/lib/smbsrv/smbd start").

It seems to happen when I access the share and thereby force a uservalidation
Any ideas?

Cannot mount multiple CIFS shares in /home

I have 2 users, Joe and Fred, who each have their own directory in /home. I also have a Netapp filer with a CIFS share called CorpData, which has subdirectories for Joe and Fred.
On the Arch Linux box, I have this for my fstab:
# /etc/fstab: static file system information
# <file system> <dir> <type> <options> <dump> <pass>
# /dev/sda1
UUID=d93def89-7611-43c8-a74f-e20bee64bd7e / ext4 rw,relatime 0 1
//10.1.1.141/CorpData/joe /home/joe cifs credentials=/etc/credentials,noserverino,_netdev,uid=joe,gid=users 0 0
//10.1.1.141/CorpData/fred /home/fred cifs credentials=/etc/credentials,noserverino,_netdev,uid=fred,gid=users 0 0
The problem is that at boot time, Joe's directory will be mounted, but Fred's will not. The reverse is true if I reverse the two entries in fstab.
If I issue the "mount -a" command after logging in, the second mount does get mounted, but also generates this error message:
mount error(16): Device or resource busy
Refer to the mount.cifs(8) manual page (e.g. man mount.cifs)
I did refer to man mount, but since only the second mount is failing, I don't know what I could try differently. There are many more directories in CorpData, so I don't want to just mount that entire share on /home.

Looking into this further, it seems that the server is not able to accept the second request so quickly after the first. Is there any way to insert a delay or sleep command between the two mount entries in fstab?

[SOLVED] Samba Issue (Arch+Win8 workgroup)

Hi everyone.
It`s been like 3 months that I am trying to add my archlinux VM to my windows network. I have even used arch as my main box but i changed cuz I couldnt share anything.
I just created a workgroup in my windows 8 box and it gave me a password. Every windows machine, in order to get in this workgroup shall have this password.
What I have
In arch (virtualbox, installed on that windows box) I have downloaded samba and nmap. I am using xfce4.
My windows can see my arch box(called archlinux) in network sharing window, the way it does when it is a windows machine. But, when I try to acces it, I get an error message (could not access ARCHLINUX).
In my arch box, I see my windows machine, when I try to access it Thunar ask me for a user/domain/password information.
if I write my password in windows 8 box, I can access the folder, but I have to do it to every sub folder.
What I want
Just share files from my archbox with every win machines from my local network without knowing the windows login password of everyone in my house.
I suppose there`s some place where I can inform the workgroup passwd, like I do in windows
What I have done

The username/password will be the one of the user sharing the files but if you do not want to use password based sharing follow this:
open start, click control panel, then "Network & Sharing Center", then click on "change advanced sharing settings" here you will the settings for the 3 types of network, the one that is fully expanded is you current windows network type look through these setting & when you get to "Password Protected Sharing" set that to off (note: you may or may not need to reboot)
Once you get windows setup to share what you want & you can access the files on linux you are halfway there next your focus is on the configured linux samba shares.
The latest samba has a config file check tool to help us & advise us based on what we put in the config file, keep referring to the arch & samba wiki's as well as the link I provide below.
I have just run the samba-tool on your config here is the output + revised config:

save your current config under a different name:
$ sudo mv /etc/samba/smb.conf /etc/samba/smb.conf.orig
now create a new file with the revised one above restart samba:
$ sudo systemctl stop smbd && sudo systemctl stop nmbd
$ sudo systemctl start smbd && sudo systemctl start nmbd
now try to access the file share on windows, if no joy recheck the paths to the shares at the bottom & the settings used in those sections (as we already know the main samba config works so leave it alone, just focus on the 2 shares).
after you make a change to the config file use the test tool as I did to ensure all is well with the syntax & then restart smbd & nmbd
good luck

Have you tried this?

You can set custom view options (window size, icon placement, and so forth) that clients see when they connect to a server volume via Apple File Service (AFP).
You can customize the size, position, and other view options of the window that clients see when they connect to a server volume via Apple File Service (AFP). You can do this on a per-volume basis.
To customize view options, follow these steps:
1. Log in to a client computer.
2. Using Connect to Server, connect to the target volume as the owner of the volume; the owner must not be an administrator account (see Notes 1, 2, and 3, below).
3. Make any desired changes to the window position, view mode (Icons, List, Columns), icon arrangement, or any of the settings found in View Options window (Command-J).
4. Disconnect from the server volume by dragging it to the Trash.

You can set custom view options (window size, icon placement, and so forth) that clients see when they connect to a server volume via Apple File Service (AFP).
You can customize the size, position, and other view options of the window that clients see when they connect to a server volume via Apple File Service (AFP). You can do this on a per-volume basis.
To customize view options, follow these steps:
1. Log in to a client computer.
2. Using Connect to Server, connect to the target volume as the owner of the volume; the owner must not be an administrator account (see Notes 1, 2, and 3, below).
3. Make any desired changes to the window position, view mode (Icons, List, Columns), icon arrangement, or any of the settings found in View Options window (Command-J).
4. Disconnect from the server volume by dragging it to the Trash.

Weblogic Start-up from CIFS share(WINDOWS 2008) is too slow.

Hi All,
We are migrating to a new platform in weblogic 10.3.5. It is running on a WINDOWS 2008 Server and we are planning to use the "Whole Server" migration.
As per our new architecture, we have planned to use NAS over CIFS as a storage medium.
We have placed all the binaries, jars ,JDK files and weblogic core server files,WL_HOME in the "Local Disk" and admin,Managed servers, Filestore and all files related to domain in the CIFS share.
Now, when we start-up the servers without any deployment, it takes almost 5 mins for the server to come-up in "running" mode.
We are bit in a jeopardy now as to whether the architecture and the set-up is appropriate for weblogic over CIFS (or) not?
Any advice (or) suggestions on this setup would be helpful.
(PS: We have found out why the server is taking too long to start-up. When we observe the TCP-IP dump during the server start-up, there were thousands of requests(includes JVM DLL files,exe,weblogic class files, core server class files) sent to the File-server using SMB protocol. Unfortunatley, all those files are present in the "Local DIsk". Hence, we could see that the firts request is sent to the File server, got failed and then the file is being read from the local-disk.)
Thanks,
SV.

Put only files which needs to be 'shared' ( e.g persistent store files for jms, jta transaction store etc) on the network drive .. put all other files including logs on the local disk.. see if that makes a difference..
NAS is slower than other storage setups like SAN and DAS...

WEBVPN trouble accessing CIF shares

Hello everybody,
there is an issue it is driving me crazy:
I correctly set up a webvpn gateway on a cisco 1921 and share my Apple Time Capsule disk on the portal.
When I connect to it (click on link) I have to authenticate (the time capsule password) and then I can open the root directory of the drives but as soon as I click on any folder I am sent back to the authentication for the share and using the password doesn't work. I can correctly transfer files from and to the root directory of the share but not in the directories.
Needles to say the share works locally both from MAC access and from Windows access (using username and password theg get me in the first directory and not past it). I did search for bugs on the IOS implementation of webvpn but I could not find anything related to this behaviour.
Also I could not find anything explaining the debug output of debug webvpn cifs, so I cannot understand what is going wrong.
Any suggestions (beside opening a case with TAC:-))?
Thanks
Fabio

please try other web browser instead of IE 8 or older version of IE. make sure that your PC and router are on the same subnet and that the PC had its gateway ip address set the same on the router interface ip address. also try accessing using https.
