Hi...
I can ping my Windows PC using both the IP address and NetBios name and I can ping my Linux box the same, IP address and NetBios name. I can even use smbclient to see the shares on my Windows PC. But I can't map the shares so that Linux sees it as a drive. How do I do that? (5 Replies)
I have a samba server node and I want to mount the samba (CIFS) shares from a second (client) unix machine.

How can I enumerate all the shares from the samba client machine?

vfs_readonly
VFS_READONLY(8) System Administration tools VFS_READONLY(8)NAME
vfs_readonly - make a Samba share read only for a specified time period
SYNOPSIS
vfs objects = readonly
DESCRIPTION
This VFS module is part of the samba(7) suite.
The vfs_readonly VFS module marks a share as read only for all clients connecting within the configured time period. Clients connecting
during this time will be denied write access to all files in the share, irrespective of their actual access privileges.
This module is stackable.
OPTIONS
readonly:period = BEGIN, END
Only mark the share as read only if the client connection was made between the times marked by the BEGIN and END date specifiers. The
syntax of these date specifiers is the same as that accepted by the -d option of GNU date(1).
EXAMPLES
Mark all shares read only:
[global]
vfs objects = readonly
Mark the [backup] share as read only during business hours:
[backup]
path = /readonly
vfs objects = readonly
readonly:period = readonly:period = "today 9:00","today 17:00"
VERSION
This man page is correct for version 3.0.25 of the Samba suite.
AUTHOR
The original Samba software and related utilities were created by Andrew Tridgell. Samba is now developed by the Samba Team as an Open
Source project similar to the way the Linux kernel is developed.
