[gentoo-user] samba vs. cifs

[KH]

Hi List,

I just ran in a problem:

net-fs/mount-cifs ("net-fs/mount-cifs" is blocking net-fs/samba-3.4.6)

Somba is pulled in by the samba use-flag. The PC only is "client" to a 
server running samba. Do I need samba for this anymore? More specific 
(don't want to hear "moo"): Will I be able to mount a samba partition 
without setting the samba use flag and after unmerging samba?

Regards
kh

mount.cifs is now provided by Samba.

Samba is the server. The client tools used to be a separate package but
it now looks like you should emerge samba with USE="-server smbclient".

I just enable cifs in the kernel and install the mount-cifs script. That lets me mount
remote shares with no trouble at all.

I don't even install the mount-cifs script.  I simply put the share
definition in /etc/fstab on the client, and then use the vanilla mount
command.  E.g.,

//192.168.0.2/backups    /usr/local/remote_backups    cifs
noauto,noexec,noatime,nodiratime,user=root,pass=eetoot          0 0

[The above should be on 1 line.]

Note that my real password for root is not "eetoot"; that is simply a
fake password I set up for Samba shares.

Whenever I need to transfer a backup archive to the server, I simply
issue:
    mount /usr/local/remote_backups
and then copy the data across.

Hi,

just want to answer to that old mail.

I have it done as follows:

//way/2/otherpc /mnt/mountpoint cifs 
noatime,credentials=/root/.credentials,uid=1000,umask=000,user  0 0

and the file /.credentials can only be read by root. In there is my 
password and username:

username=myusername
password=mypswd

Well that didn't look the way I wanted it to look like. Shouldn't be a 
sig. So again:
