Thanks for the response and sorry for my lack of response, I was pretty busy the rest of the week. I have dug deeper into this and while there are "repository servers" there are no trace of any user management system/scripts and there is also no trace of any strange jobs.
I am closing in on the "periodic daily" as the likely culprit. I have set some monitoring up which sounds an alert at pretty much the same time as periodic daily runs
I'm probably going to have to dissect the /etc/periodic/daily stuff to try to find evidence for this (or either just uncomment periodic for a day or two and see if the permissions behave). According to man periodic it just executes shell scripts in /etc/periodic/daily|weekly|monthly|security.
I'm having trouble with Abnormal Termination errors. What are they, what causes them and how can I prevent them from happening? Are they application specific? (2 Replies)

Hi All,
I am using sftp to transfer files between two unix machines. As per my knowledge, in order to use public key authentication, the remote user's home directory permission should be set to 750 ( basically group and others should not have write permission ). Is there any way to over ride... (1 Reply)

Any recommend manufacturers for an internal SCSI tape drive in my FreeBSD 7.0 home server? Besides RAID-1, I'm not backing-up, but man, are they expensive! What makes a tape drive so darn pricy?

mount_smbfs
MOUNT_SMBFS(8) BSD System Manager's Manual MOUNT_SMBFS(8)NAME
mount_smbfs -- mounts a shared resource from an SMB file server
SYNOPSIS
mount_smbfs [-I host] [-M cmode[/smode]] [-N] [-O cowner[:cgroup]/sowner[:sgroup]] [-R retrycount] [-T timeout] [-U user] [-W workgroup]
[-d mode] [-f mode] [-g gid] [-h] [-n opt] [-u uid] //[workgroup;][user[password]@] server[/share] path
DESCRIPTION
The mount_smbfs command mounts a share from a remote server using SMB/CIFS protocol.
The options are:
-I host
Do not use NetBIOS name resolver and connect directly to host, which can be either a valid DNS name or an IP address.
-M cmode[/smode]
Assign access rights to the newly created connection.
-N Do not ask for a password. At run time, mount_smbfs reads the ~/.nsmbrc file for additional configuration parameters and a password.
If no password is found the mount_smbfs prompts for it.
-O cowner[:cgroup]/sowner[:sgroup]
Assign owner/group attributes to the newly created connection.
-R retrycount
How many retries should be done before the SMB requester decides to drop the connection.
-T timeout
Timeout in seconds for each request.
-U user
Specifies the user name to be used in the authentication request.
-W workgroup
Specifies the workgroup to be used in the authentication request.
-f mode, -d mode
Specify permissions that should be assigned to files and directories. The values must be specified as octal numbers. Default value
for the file mode is taken from mount point, default value for the dir mode adds execute permission where the file mode gives read
permission.
Note that these permissions can differ from the rights granted by SMB server.
-h Prints a help message, much like the SYNOPSIS above.
-n opt Set opt option to affect file name lookups. opt can be one of the following:
Value Meaning
long No long names. Server supports only "8.3" format.
-u uid, -g gid
User id and group id assigned to files. The default is owner and group id from directory where the volume is mounted.
//[workgroup;][user[password]@] server[/share]
The mount_smbfs command will use server as the NetBIOS name of remote computer, user as the remote user name and share as the
resource name on a remote server. Workgroup and/or password may be specified here. If user is omitted the logged in user id will be
used. Omitting share is an error when mount_smbfs is run from the command line, otherwise a browsing dialogue is presented.
path Path to mount point.
FILES
~/.nsmbrc Keeps static parameters for connections and other information. See ./examples/dot.nsmbrc for details.
EXAMPLES
The following illustrate how to connect to an SMB server SAMBA as user GUEST to mount PUBLIC:
mount_smbfs -I samba.mydomain.com //guest@samba/public /smb/public

Please report bugs to Apple.
