I didn't even notice that this was for using Cygwin :-( Man, that's what I get for editing wiki before coffee. but still useful, particularly with an update -).

Colinux samba how to#

How to create another partition or actually, another colinux block_device ?

Colinux samba password#

In that case you will be prompted at system boot for the password if it is not supplied. > //your-win2000-machine/C$ /C smbfs noauto,username=Win32UserName,passwd=Win32PasswordĪlternatively, you can automatically mount the drive by removing the 'noauto' option. If you value convenience over security, simply embed your password in /etc/fstab as follows: To mount this drive, simply type the following, which will prompt for your password. > //your-win2000-machine/C$ /C smbfs noauto,username=Win32UserName To make this easier, simply add it to your /etc/fstab.

It works in Vista, though.Ĭolinux: mount -t smbfs -o username=Win32UserName //your-win2000-machine/C$ C It's trivial to access windows drives from colinux.

N.B. : you don't want to share your Windows drives to the world, do you ? using the appropriate security measures is necessary.Īnother documentation for Samba / coLinux

Colinux samba install#

you can also share coLinux directories and make them available under Windows, you would have to install samba to do that. N.B. : this is smbfs, not samba itself (not yet). Mount -t smbfs -o username=foo,password=bar //host_name/dir /mnt don't know yet, but the same syntax for smbmount works fine. Gentoo : the ability to mount samba drives is either already there by default in the Gentoo image, or installed when you emerge samba. Mount -t smbfs -o username=User,password=myTrickyPassword //THATBOX/mysharedfolder /mnt THATBOX/mysharedfolder on /mnt type smbfs (rw) Smbmount //THATBOX/mysharedfolder /mnt -o username=User,password=myTrickyPasswordĭevpts on /dev/pts type devpts (rw,gid=5,mode=620) Get smbfs (Samba file system) under Debian : among other things, you can copy files from and to coLinux this way. Good luck!Īssuming your Windows box is called THATBOX, that there is a user 'User' sharing a folder or drive called 'mysharedfolder', you can already access this folder from KDE konqueror (web navigator, file manager and info and man pages viewer) using this step : really mount windows shared directories as file systems so you can use shell commands, editors, and all. You will need to use the CIFS VFS kernel module.

Your mount will fail with an error such as 'SMB signing is mandatory and we have disabled it.' That means your Windows 2003 server is refusing to use the older protocol that smbfs supports. Because of the security problems, many Windows 2003 servers are configured to refuse access to clients using the older protocol. Unfortunately, smbfs does not support some of the newer features of CIFS. The updated version is often called CIFS. Since smbfs was developed, Microsoft has updated the protocol to include some newer security features. In Debian Lenny (5.0), the smbfs is updated, and works fine for me Smbfs works fine for most users, but the SMB protocol that smbfs supports is a bit dated and somewhat insecure. (in another page called 'high-level networking with coLinux', provide documentation to access Windows from co Linux, coLinux from Windows, using samba, ftp, www, whatever, once the network is up and running) edit at will, refactor at will, copy and paste text as needed in other pages.
