CentOS 5 :: Smbclient Can't Overwrite Files?
Jun 17, 2010
I'm using CentOS 5.5 with smbclient 3.0.33-3.28-el5 (latest version in repo), and I can't overwrite files in my smb store.The CentOS box is merely a client of the smb share,and I am not the admin for the Windows server that hosts the share, so there isn't anything I can do server side. But I do have write permission to the server. I'm 95% certain that the server runs Windows Server 2003.I can create a new file,but if I need to overwrite it I need to delete the file, and then copy the new version over.My Windows XP machine can overwrite files perfectly fine.
Using the cp command I'll get this error: (/mnt/storage/foo.txt already exists)
[jonescb@localhost ~]$ cp foo.txt /mnt/storage/foo.txt
cp: cannot create regular file `/mnt/storage/foo.txt': No such file or directory`

I have a new network attached storage unit that I'm trying to transfer my data to. On this NAS, it has a very basic linux installed with SSH enabled. Browsing through the programs installed on it, i found smbclient. Am I able to copy files directly from my old NAS to my new one using smbclient?It would sure beat transfering 950GB from my old NAS through a computer then onto my new NAS.

I've recenelty setup a backup server using Ubuntu server 10.4 x64.
I'm currently attempting to get the server to connect to windows vista and windows 7 shares on the network.
When running the command
Code:
smbclient \\hazard-pc\test
a prompt for a password appears, I enter nothing and am then presented with. I am not using passwords on the windows shares.
Code:
smb: >
If I attempt to list the directory using ls then I get the following error:
Code:
smb: > ls
NT_STATUS_ACCESS_DENIED listing *
57138 blocks of size 1048576. 32044 blocks available
smb: >
I've looked on google and on here and have not been able to find anything that works. I also don't have any xp machines to test with either.
I discovered this issue whilst trying to configure the backuppc service using smb.

I can use smbclient -U name //ip.adresss/"My Place" to connect with no errors, but nautilus will not open the folder. nautilus discovers the computer but not the folder. maybe I need some debugging info from nautilus...

I am trying to mount a samba share using an fstab entry
//srv1/Corporate /winfiles cifs user,uid=0,rw,noauto,suid,credentials=/root/wnmount_credentials.txt 0 0
The mount appears to complete cleanly, however when I browse the directory /winfiles it is always empty.The smbclient command works properly using the same credentials.The /root/credentials file looks something like this
username=********
password=********

I run a command in a Linux terminal, the result was written to the desied folder. After I modified the command and rerun it. The old files are still there and not overwritten at all. Only it is successfull after I deleted the old files and run the command.

I use software where I have to edit a text file in order to get my custom needs from it. Problem is that when the author puts out an update, it always overwrites my changes and I have to spend hours trying to compare the file, re-edit my changes back in, etc. This happens sometimes as often as once per month.
I've wondered if there might be a linux tool or commands which would look through the new file, then at my old file, changing only the text which already exists while not breaking anything else. Most software authors seem to know how to do this but since mine doesn't, how can I accomplish this on my own?

I need to overwrite the first say 50 or so lines of an xml file on an everyday basis. The first 50 lines of the file are always the same and the 50 lines they get replaced with are always the same. Is there a way to create a file with the 50 new lines and somehow copy/merge/overwrite the larger file such that the 50 original lines would be replaced but the remainder of the file would be untouched?This seems simple, there has to be a way to do it. I'm just not smart enough to figure it out.

And if I edit a file on the server using vim, I can save it once, but if I save it again I get this: "/mnt/si_storage/foo.txt" E212: Can't open file for writing This is my /etc/fstab entry for the samba server: //192.168.1.2/SI_STORAGE /mnt/si_storage cifs username=myuser,password=mypass 0 0 I can overwrite files just fine on my XP machine. The CentOS box is the only one having problems.

I've installed the latest Fedora 13 flavour, yum update completed, yum install samba -y
all installed fine.
yum list grep samba shows samba-13 installed however when type smbclient as root it returns
"Command Not Found" and returns me to bash.
yum remove samba
reboot
yum install samba
still nothing
smb[tab] returns : smbd, smbusers and 3 others but none that are smbc*. I'm kinda stuck for my windows shares at this point.
smbd i presumed was the deamon so i triggered that but smbclient still cant be found and when i ran smb(something) status it stated that the samba service was up and running.
users list is configured but i believe this is an issue with the command.

I have been using Ubuntu for a while now and have never run into something like this that I haven't been able to find on the forums. My problem is quite similar to this post [URL]
Description:
I have a Windows 7 x64 machine and a Ubuntu 10.04 Server machine. I also have a share called "stuff" on the Windows machine. I can run the following command and it mounts the share successfully :
Code:
sudo mount -t cifs //windows_machine/stuff -o user=usr,password=pswd /path/local/folder
However, if I run smbclient it fails with this error
Quote:
session setup failed: SUCCESS - 0

I am trying to pass a variable to smbclient (OS X), but the variable is recognized only as its strict text.
Is there anything syntactically I have to do pass a variable created in the shell (bash) to smbclient (or perhaps any other interactive app)? I've seen references to variables as $[variable] or ${variable} but I've not been able to figure out what works.

I am trying to allow my mother's Acer Aspire One (OS: Linpus Linnux Lite) to print on the WIFI Canon Pixma MP620 printer. The rest of the computers connected in the house run some variant of Windows. The printer has been set up to print wirelessly from the Windows computer. Having searched the internet for hours, I have determined that there aren't any drivers for that particular printer.
My potential solutions are:
1. Buy a new printer
2. Install Windows on the Aspire One (Last resort!)
3. Use this piece of software (http://www.printeranywhere.com/), which is installed on my Windows 7 computer which is on 90% of the time, and find some way to install it on Linux. (I tried Wine, and it opened up the installation .exe but when it came to actually installing, returned an error saying it needed to be installed on the same drive. :S)
4. Follow this tutorial (http://justin.yackoski.name/winp/) to print via my computer.
I think I will manage to follow the tutorial fine (as a complete Linux novice!), but I am having some problem with simply connecting to my Windows share folder, which I came across on this line of the tutorial: Test that you can access the share from the linux PC via smbclient. I.e., run: smbclient //windows_pc/spool -U print and make sure you can put a file into that shared directory. After I enter the password, as prompted, is returns:
session setup failed: SUCCESS - 0
When I try: "smbclient -L //WILL-PC -U Will", and then enter my password as prompted, it returns the same error. However if I try: "smbclient -L //WILL-PC -N", it returns: Anonymous login successful. Then my correct Domain, OS and server details. Then the titles: Sharename, Type and Comment
And then the following:
cli_rpc_pipe_open: cli_nt_create failed on pipe srvsvc to machine WILL-PC. Error was NT_STATUS_ACCESS_DENIED
Error returning browse list: NT_STATUS_ACCESS_DENIED
Anonymous login successful
Then the same correct Domain, OS and server details
Then two headings: Server and Comment, each of which have a different entry below them to do with my printer.
Then the two headings: Workgroup and Master, below which there are two different workgroups that we have, and my computer and my sisters laptop.

I checked the smbclient man but could not find any switch to us in combination with 'get' to check if the file has been modified before download.

I am having a problem using smbclient on my Ubuntu 10.04 workstation. I use likewise open5 to authenticate to a windows server 2003 domain controller. I installed the smbclient utility mounted the network drives to the local desktop, then all of a sudden I cannot logon to my active directory domain controller. If any one knows what I am talking about what am I doing wrong?
Do I need to change my smb.conf file? Or do I need to download another repository or utility?

I reinstalled Slackware lastnight and was configuring Samba today and when I tested the config (I had just copied over my working smb.conf) I kept getting an NT_LOGON error when I run:
PHP Code:
smbclient -l MYSERVER
from the root account after entering root's password.
I can log in through konqueror if I pass the credentials of the only user defined in smb.conf after I'd run smbpasswd for that user, and if I bring up a full terminal session for that user smbclient works fine, but it seems odd that root can't access the shares on the machine. I may have just never noticed this before because I usually test from a user account, but is this normal since I specifically only define one user where samba is concerned? I'm mainly asking because I was getting some unexpected write errors last night while I was installing the multilib libraries for Slack64 as root and I'm trying to verify everything.

I have this deb from a package in unstable...
It calls for libhdf5-openmpi, which is not compatible with libhdf5-serial which in turn is used by several packages that i have installed...
It's either the serial or the openmpi version... not both.
Since this specific package from sid calls for this dependence, which way do i have to check that if i override dependency checking it wont overwrite anything along the way...?
All other dependencies can be met... except this particular one...
And i wont be using the functionality that calls for openmpi...

Why does centos-release-notes have any dependancies ?
I can see no reason why centos-relese-notes should depend on centos-release when I try "yum erase centos-release-notes" I am told there are 72 dependancies including completely irrelevant packages such as tar all because of this unnecessary dependancy.
The centos-release-notes package simply contains a bunch of text/html files that nothing else relies upon, so why the dependancies ?
