1. Preface
|
|
----------
|
|
|
|
This document describes, how to coordinate SNB4K (initially Linux-only program)
|
|
and FreeBSD implementation of SMBFS. This document assumed, that you already
|
|
have working SMBFS in your kernel (see man mount_smbfs(8), FreeBSD Handbook
|
|
chapter 9 and an sample kernel config file part below:
|
|
|
|
#
|
|
# SMB/CIFS requester
|
|
# NETSMB enables support for SMB protocol, it requires LIBMCHAIN and LIBICONV
|
|
# options.
|
|
# NETSMBCRYPTO enables support for encrypted passwords.
|
|
options NETSMB #SMB/CIFS requester
|
|
options NETSMBCRYPTO #encrypted password support for SMB
|
|
|
|
# mchain library. It can be either loaded as KLD or compiled into kernel
|
|
options LIBMCHAIN #mbuf management library
|
|
options SMBFS #SMB/CIFS filesystem
|
|
# Kernel side iconv library
|
|
options LIBICONV
|
|
|
|
You need all these for working SMBFS) and /etc/nsmb.conf configured properly
|
|
(in spite of that nsmb.conf has all variables 'transparent', documentation
|
|
about SMBFS tuning in FreeBSD are very, very shy :-( You should setup at least
|
|
paremeters "workgroup" and "nbns". As nbns you should set your WINS server
|
|
(as called it in Microsoft world).
|
|
|
|
2. After setup, but before first run
|
|
------------------------------------
|
|
|
|
So, you has just setup SMB4K. What should you do to properly mounting SMB
|
|
shares? You should do some things.
|
|
|
|
a. Remember, that SMB4K didn't mount shares itself. Instead of that, it
|
|
called 'smb4k_mount' with some set of parameters: server and share path in
|
|
//server/share format, mount point in /home/dir/dir2 format and parameters string,
|
|
as expected mount_smbfs. Also, SMB4K didn't umount shares itself. Instead of
|
|
this it called 'smb4k_umount' with single parameter - mount point.
|
|
|
|
b. Before start SMB4K first time, you should setup your .nsmbrc file
|
|
properly. For my pity, you must setup each Windows/Samba box in your network
|
|
SEPARATELY. No default usernames, no domain logons. Looks sadly, aren't you?
|
|
smb2nsmbrc script sligtly takes this job from you. You start smb2nsmbrc, it
|
|
called findsmb (of course, you should have findsmb and smbutil in your path),
|
|
parsing their output, asks you about username, password and stored file
|
|
.nsmbrctmp in current directory with pairs
|
|
|
|
[SERVERNAME:USERNAME]
|
|
password=<encrypted password>
|
|
|
|
Encryption done with smbutil and ready for use with mount_smbfs. Findsmb takes
|
|
your first network interface, so, when you have a box with some network cards,
|
|
start smb2nsmbrc with two parameters - network address and broadcast address.
|
|
These parameters will passed directly to findsmb. When .nsmbrctmp file already
|
|
exist it will added, not replaced! Simply add .nsmbrctmp content to your .nsmbrc
|
|
file in your home directory
|
|
|
|
c. You should have a 'sudo' package. SMB4K detect it and modify sudoers file
|
|
|
|
3. Inside running SMB4K
|
|
-----------------------
|
|
|
|
When you have done all previous steps properly (it looks quite difficult, but
|
|
PLEASE, do not ask me, ask SMBFS developers, why kernel-side support of SMBFS
|
|
in FreeBSD is extremely shy, undocumented and forgotten), you should see files in
|
|
mounted share, when you click on it in SMB4K window. When you see empty
|
|
directory (and really this directory keeps files), check these:
|
|
|
|
- You should have SMBFS in your kernel
|
|
- You should have propelry nsmb.conf
|
|
- You should have properly .nsmbrc (keep in mind - all server and user names
|
|
in UPPER case!) with presented pairs [server:user] about EACH server and
|
|
EACH user (so, when you have two logins alice and bob and two server alpha
|
|
and beta, you should have 4 entries in .nsmbrc - [ALICE:ALPHA], [ALICE:BETA],
|
|
[BOB:ALPHA] and [BOB:BETA]).
|
|
|
|
When all these has been done, but mount unsuccesful, try to mount this share
|
|
manually. Also you can uncomment string
|
|
|
|
echo $@ > /tmp/somefile
|
|
|
|
at start of smbmount script and looks, how passed a mount arguments in file
|
|
/tmp/somefile.
|
|
|
|
4. Feedback
|
|
-----------
|
|
|
|
All these scripts and this readme file were written by Rashid N. Achilov
|
|
(shelton@granch.ru). So, you can ask me about their working and also about
|
|
any other SMB shares mounting errors, but keep in mind - I'm NOT A SMBFS
|
|
DEVELOPER, I know nothing about internal technic of kernel-side support
|
|
of SMBFS under FreeBSD. To ask with serious problems, please mail to SMB developer:
|
|
Boris Popov <bp@freebsd.org>.
