I have a script that uses smbclient - this script updates a tnsnames.ora file on the UNIX network as well as several "windows" net locations.... I used smbclient to move stuff around after a vi session on the UNIX side... I had to rsh to the unix box withthe smbclient, call it, pass the IP, mount point, username and pass as well as "work group" - which is the domain (I think) on the windows side... here's the important line from my script....maybe it'll help you? rsh $SMB_MACHINE "/usr/local/samba/bin/smbclient \\\\\\\\$IP\\\\$MNT $PASSWORD -U $USER_NAME -W $WORKGROUP" On Wed, 13 Aug 2003 11:42:06 -0500, Bob Tanner <tanner at mn-linux.org> wrote: > On Wednesday 13 August 2003 07:07 am, Jay Kline wrote:l >> What version of samba? > samba-2.2.7-3.7.3 > >> Whave version of windows? > > Not sure, I'm working in a linux hostile environment and the IT staff is > less then helpful, but nmap shows Windows 2000 Professional, Build 2183 > (RC3) > >> Is there a domain? > > Yes. > >> Active directory? > > Don't know. > >> What does smbclient -L machine -Uusername show? > > % smbclient -L hostname -U username > added interface ip=x.x.x.x bcast=x.x.x.x nmask=x.x.x.x > added interface ip=x.x.x.x bcast=x.x.x.x nmask=x.x.x.x > Password: > session setup failed: NT_STATUS_LOGON_FAILURE > -- Using M2, Opera's revolutionary e-mail client: http://www.opera.com/m2/ _______________________________________________ TCLUG Mailing List - Minneapolis/St. Paul, Minnesota http://www.mn-linux.org tclug-list at mn-linux.org https://mailman.real-time.com/mailman/listinfo/tclug-list
