You can still use some of my software from this page to get auto mounting of home directories working. It uses a different mount program but works in a simalar way. Many kernels come with CIFS included, but at this stage they all seem to be hopelessly broken. I have build working modules for the following CentOS-4 kernels. If you want to build your own see the instructions further down this page.

The upside of this is that many changes which needed to be made to samba have been accepted so you no longer need to patch samba. My Latest patch is against 2. This patch fixes a problem with newly created symlinks and cleans up some memory management. Older patches:. These are a bit out of date but should be usable for most purposes:. I have a patch for older RedHat 7. You can still use older source such as 2. The problem with using automount is that Samba requires a username and password to mount a share.

The username is not a problem but the password can be problematic. The solution I devised is a small daemon which collects passwords on login. A new PAM module takes the supplied password which has been verified by another PAM module and tells the smbpw daemon.

When an attempt is made to mount a home directory, automount first executes a small program called smbautomount which looks up the user details and builds an automount map string. Based on this string, automount then invokes mount which in turn invokes mount. It connects to the smbpw daemon and asks for the users password. In this way, the automount can occur without any user interference. This is all completed and working. You also need a patch for smbmount.

Then run. It is recommended that you also review the list of patches for current releases. For information on Samba security releases, please see our security page. All major Linux and Free Unix distributions have Samba as a native package.

See your distributor's package or port system for a native install of samba on your system. Google uses cookies to deliver its services, to personalize ads, and to analyze traffic. You can adjust your privacy controls anytime in your Google settings or learn more.

The problem was within the network, some packets were getting corrupted, which broke any communication. Thanks for the valuable inputs anyway.

Hey, no problem! Glad it was that easy of a fix :D — Signal I'm actually ripping my hair off. The problem came back, but nos there doesn't seem to be network problems anymore. I can download a file through FTP on the server but not read it from command-line You've tried unmounting the Samba-share from the NAS, right?

Unfortunately I can't access the corporate NAS. What's really weird is that smbclient works, and even worse. I have a FTP server installed on this server, and you can download files located in the SMB mount, even though you can't access them from the command-line Show 1 more comment.
