How to enumerate samba shares with client
I have a samba server node and I want to mount the samba (CIFS) shares from a second (client) unix machine.
However, the unix mount command requires I specify the name of the share. What if I don't know the name of the share?
How can I enumerate all the shares from the samba client machine?
Is there a command? Can I do it with Konquerer?
How would I write a C program to do it?
Thanks,
Siegfried

LEARN ABOUT LINUX
samba_selinux
samba_selinux(8) Samba Selinux Policy documentation samba_selinux(8)
NAME
samba_selinux - Security Enhanced Linux Policy for Samba
DESCRIPTION
Security-Enhanced Linux secures the Samba server via flexible mandatory access control.
FILE_CONTEXTS
SELinux requires files to have an extended attribute to define the file type. Policy governs the access daemons have to these files. If
you want to share files other than home directories, those files must be labeled samba_share_t. So if you created a special directory
/var/eng, you would need to label the directory with the chcon tool.
chcon -t samba_share_t /var/eng
To make this change permanent (survive a relabel), use the semanage command to add the change to file context configuration:
semanage fcontext -a -t samba_share_t "/var/eng(/.*)?"
This command adds the following entry to /etc/selinux/POLICYTYPE/contexts/files/file_contexts.local:
/var/eng(/.*)? system_u:object_r:samba_share_t:s0
Run the restorecon command to apply the changes:
restorecon -R -v /var/eng/
SHARING FILES
If you want to share files with multiple domains (Apache, FTP, rsync, Samba), you can set a file context of public_content_t and pub-
lic_content_rw_t. These context allow any of the above domains to read the content. If you want a particular domain to write to the pub-
lic_content_rw_t domain, you must set the appropriate boolean. allow_DOMAIN_anon_write. So for samba you would execute:
setsebool -P allow_smbd_anon_write=1
BOOLEANS
SELinux policy is customizable based on least access required. So by default SELinux policy turns off SELinux sharing of home directories
and the use of Samba shares from a remote machine as a home directory.
If you are setting up this machine as a Samba server and wish to share the home directories, you need to set the samba_enable_home_dirs
boolean.
setsebool -P samba_enable_home_dirs 1
If you want to use a remote Samba server for the home directories on this machine, you must set the use_samba_home_dirs boolean.
setsebool -P use_samba_home_dirs 1
system-config-selinux is a GUI tool available to customize SELinux policy settings.
