Trouble using NFS
I was having trouble using Samba and NFS and I finally solved (one of) my Samba problems by remembering to use smbpasswd. I wish the authors of the samba client setup would put a little push button and edit box that would remind you to run smbpasswd by clicking on the button. Oh well.
Is there an NFS counterpart to smbpasswd that I need to use? I enabled NFS shares via the nice GUIs (I love these new GUIs on all the distros, I just wish they would work) but I cannot see visit the shares from windows explorer or by using the unix mount command. I get connection refused.
Thanks,
Siegfried

Presently I have mounted a disk as su. I believe only root can mount disks -- is this correct?
I had to run mozilla in the root account so I can download the new SuSE distribution to the new disk.
How can I mount the disk so non-root accounts can access the disk?
Thanks,

pmdasamba
PMDASAMBA(1) Performance Co-Pilot PMDASAMBA(1)
NAME
pmdasamba - Samba performance metrics domain agent (PMDA)
DESCRIPTION
pmdasamba is a Performance Metrics Domain Agent (PMDA) which exports metric values from Samba, a Windows SMB/CIFS server for UNIX.
In order for values to be made available by this PMDA, Samba must have been built with profiling support (WITH_PROFILE in "smbd -b"
output). This PMDA dynamically enumerates much of its metric hierarchy, based on the contents of "smbstatus --profile".
When the agent is installed (see below), the Install script will attempt to enable Samba statistics gathering, using "smbcontrol
--profile".
INSTALLATION
If you want access to the names and values for the samba performance metrics, do the following as root:
# cd $PCP_PMDAS_DIR/samba
# ./Install
If you want to undo the installation, do the following as root:
# cd $PCP_PMDAS_DIR/samba
# ./Remove
pmdasamba is launched by pmcd(1) and should never be executed directly. The Install and Remove scripts notify pmcd(1) when the agent is
installed or removed.
FILES
$PCP_PMDAS_DIR/samba/Install
installation script for the pmdasamba agent
$PCP_PMDAS_DIR/samba/Remove
undo installation script for the pmdasamba agent
$PCP_LOG_DIR/pmcd/samba.log
default log file for error messages from pmdasamba
