Hi,

I'm trying to setup NAS on my new FreeBSD box. I've compiled the following into the kernel:

CODE

    options NETSMB      #SMB/CIFS requester

    options NETSMBCRYPTO #encrypted password support for SMB

    options LIBMCHAIN #mbuf management library

    options LIBICONV

    options SMBFS

and then I'm using:

CODE

# smbutil login //username@xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx/username

...but all I get is:

CODE

smbutil: can't get server address: syserr = Operation not permitted

...and when I disable PF:

CODE

smbutil: can't get server address: syserr = Operation timed out

Any ideas?

Thanks!
Matt

Can you ping the smb server? What version of FreeBSD are you running?

Hi Kevin,

I can ping it ok (1-2ms ping time) and I'm using FreeBSD 5.3

Thanks,
Matt

you shouldnt need to recombile the kernel for smbfs support in freebsd 5.x

try using
mount_smbfs

Hi Facecake,

CODE

[root@xxxx mnt]mount_smbfs //70.85.xxx.xxx/username /mnt/nas

mount_smbfs: can't get server address: syserr = Operation not permitted

[root@xxxxx mnt]pfctl -d

No ALTQ support in kernel

ALTQ related functions disabled

pf disabled

[root@xxxxx mnt]mount_smbfs //70.85.xxx.xxx/username /mnt/nas

mount_smbfs: can't get server address: syserr = Operation timed out

[root@xxxx mnt]pfctl -e

No ALTQ support in kernel

Thanks,
Matt

i don't have disksync my self but the way i mount shares on my 5.3 boxes at home is

# mount_smbfs //user@10.0.0.2/share /exports/share

Are you trying to make your FreeBSD box be a cifs server or client?
SMBFS is for mounting a cifs share from another server.

Your OP makes it sound like you want your fbsd box to be a cifs *server*

mount_smbfs -I 70.85.xxx.xxx //70.85.xxx.xxx/username
