OpenSUSE Network :: Trouble With Permissions On Mounted Network Drives
Jan 15, 2010
I use Suse 11.2. I mounted 5 folders from fstab. 2 of them work but 3 do not. The 3 folders that do not work let me enter them, and they let me see everything. I can even create or delete a folder on them, if I am just browsing with konqueror. The problem is that I have a program that will not read them. It's a program made for my company and apparently it will only read folders that have all of their permissions set to read and write. The program will read the first two because their permissions are set to Owner, Group, and Others, can view and modify content. (The network folders are all windows server 2003 computers). The 3 folders the program will not read are set to Owner can view and modify content, but Group and Others are "can view content" If I try to change those permissions even in root, it tells me that access is denied.

I mount the shared drives (on a Windows Server 2003) and I can access them from my home directory. Everything is mostly fine. But I also get desktop icons for the shared drives, which I don't like since I prefer a bare desktop. Sometimes I have deleted desktop icons from /usr/share/dist/... but these are not there.

had trouble writing to a flash drive. checked the permissions, the correct user it there, but the id is root.when logged in as root and attempt to change permissions i get Could not modify the ownership of file /media/disk-3. You have insufficient access to the file to perform the change.
now how as root can not have enough permission? i've been up and down the forums and google to no avail. poked around in the fstab and even mtab as there are two files, one a lock, that seems to come from mtab.

This is the set up I have: PC downstairs by a tv, with 3TB of storage containing my media, connected to the tv too. HTPC upstairs by another tv and connected to it. A few laptops and other desktops around the house which are windows based
I want the downstairs pc to act as a file server and to run my torrent client, it is running Ubuntu desktop version and has xbmc installed too for use with the tv. The upstairs htpc has xbmc live on and will access the media from the file server. What I am looking to do is to be able to log into my ubuntu machine remotely from a laptop running windows so I can manage the files and add torrents for download etc, but for this to be a complete remote session, rather than taking control over what is already being shown on the downstairs pc, like VNC does in windows.
I have two user accounts set up on the main ubuntu machine, the admin account and a media user account which is set to go straight to xbmc after log in. Also how can I make sure that the media drives are automatically mounted to allow access if the admin user is not logged in?

I'm having a bit of a problem with drives connected by NFS and KDE4.4.4. The setup is that a server running oS11.2 and KDE4.4.4 gives access to it's shared drives via NFS to two laptops (one with 11.2 the other with 11.3, both running kde4.4.4) and a desktop PC (running oS11.3 KDE4.4.4). The clients have no problems accessing the shared drive on the server via NFS. The problem comes when the network goes down or the connection to the network is lost.
Any applications open at the time that are 'looking' at the shared drive just hang forcing me to kill the application. Dolphin is a classic example. Even after the network comes back up Dolphin will not start properly and just opens a blank window. Starting dolphin from a console reveals nothing and the console just drops back to the command line with no output. Logging out and back in doesn't help so it's something at system level.My question is how can I make this more robust and allow the system recover gracefully and without taking down the applications when the network is lost?

I shared a few directories using samba which can be detected with XP or OSX over the network. However, when I try mount those folders this error occurs (OSX): 'Volume X could not be mounted'.I checked that smb as wells as xinetd is running and that the firewall ports are open (also tried deactivating the firewall with no success).

I'm mounting a cifs share via fstab, and using both the uid and gid for the permissions when mounted (I did try with just gid set too..) My user account is part of the 'users' group.
gid=users; I get read only
uid=nobody, gid=users; read only
uid=veehexx, gid=users; RW access.
Why is that? surely if permissions are set to use groups rather than users, then it should work. How do I get around this? All my knowledge is based in the Microsoft camp - if a user is in a group, then you can assign that group to a resource and it will work.

After update 11.2 to 11.4 copy jobs from netware 5.1 volume to local disk linux system does crash after a couple of seconds. I might have to do if there a allot of small files in that job. If happend system reboot is required because unmount netware volume nor delete copied files to the local linux system is not possible. Recompiling ncpfs package not possible because error free source package ncpfs version 2.2.6 might not be availble.

I just upgraded from SuSE 11.3 to 11.4. For some reason, I can no longer access my shared drive from any other home computer. I can get out to the internet. I can ping other PCs on the network. Other PCs can ping me. My router sees all computers, and has assigned IP addresses dynamically. I have a shared folder, exported as an NFS mount point, that used to work! I've tried setting up Samba shares. Nothing! I disabled the local firewall, as my router already has a firewall running. Nothing! Nothing I've tried seems to work. I can not see that NFS mount point from any of my windows PCs. (I only have the one Linux server running, so I can't say whether another Linux box would see it or not!)

I just performed a fresh installation of openSUSE 11.3 and ISPConfig 3 on my server. I read through the article "The Perfect Server - openSUSE 11.3 x86_64 [ISPConfig 3]" and followed the instructions closely. Everything went smoothly.
I went into ISPConfig 3 and set up a DNS zone, email mailbox, FTP client, and website all for a client I created, hoping to use the client as the main account for a web site I want to host on my server. After I finished with this, I logged onto the server through FileZilla using my newly created client's information. It took me to the "main directory" with the folders cgi-bin, log, ssl, tmp, and web. When I open "web" I see an html file named "index.html."
I tried loading a mock website into the folder, also with an index.html file, and the files transferred over properly except the mock index.html file. The program changed the name to index.html.1. I tried to delete the original index.html file but was not allowed to. I then tried to rename it to something other than index.html and kept receiving a 550 Rename/move failure message. Can anyone point me in the right direction or help me resolve this issue?
I'm thinking perhaps I don't have the right permissions with the client to rename files, but since that's the account I want as the "owner" of this web site, I need to change the permissions so I can. I tried changing the ISPConfig 3 "Limits" for the account to SSH-Chroot Options "NONE" thinking that might be the issue.

I just made a fresh install of OpenSUSE 11.4-Tumbleweed and have the latest updates. However fstab lines I've used in the past are not working.
Here's an example of two:
//IPADDRESS/share /home/user/mount cifs credentials=/home/user/.scripts/.creds,_netdev,uid=client_user,gid=users 0 0
//IPADDRESS/share /home/user/mount cifs guest,_netdev,uid=client_user,gid=users
I can execute a command
Code:
sudo mount /home/user/mount and it works, but I'm wanting all my fstab lines to automount at boot as on other machines.

I have a D-Link DNS-323 network drive which mounts at multiple points to my filesystem when booting. I had to make some fstab changes when I upgraded from 11.2->11.3 last year, and now the same thing seems to be happening since I've upgraded to 11.4. When I login to my profile the desktop hangs and no icons appear. I cannot open a Nautilus window, or access ALT-F2, however just about every other program works fine. Since I disabled the fstab lines (slightly modified when copied here to generalize):
Code:
#//192.168.123.xxx/SHARED-FOLDER1/User-folder /home/user/Documents cifs guest,_netdev,uid=user,gid=users
#//192.168.123.xxx/SHARED-FOLDER2 /home/user/SHARED-FOLDER2 cifs credentials=/home/user/.scripts/.creds,_netdev,uid=user,gid=users 0 0
the desktop icons load and Nautilus works. Can I adjust my fstab syntax to correct this and get my network drives back? I think last year the issue was in referencing the ".creds" file...

I'm running OpenSuse 11.2. I've got it running mostly the way I want and it connects to my wireless internet no problem. I have a external hard-drive on my Windows machine setup as a share folder. I can mount the drive with:
Code:
mount //10.13.23.2/D /home/james/mnt/win However when I do mount like this it doesn't give my any read/write privliages on the drive. Also on a slightly different issue but still mounting related I have my HDD partitioned into four main drives (not including swap etc). They are my Windows drive, a seperate storage partition formatted for Windows, my main linux drive and a seperate parition for linux storage.
I want to have my Windows drive, my Windows storage drive and my linux storage drive all mounted on boot. I tried adding these to fstab, and they mount fine but again I have no read/write permissions. My fstab looks like this:
Code:
/dev/disk/by-id/ata-WDC_WD2500BEVT-35ZCT0_WD-WXE908AE4273-part5 swap swap defaults 0 0
/dev/disk/by-id/ata-WDC_WD2500BEVT-35ZCT0_WD-WXE908AE4273-part6 / ext4
[code]....
Lastly I would like my Windows Share drive to mount on boot but I have been advised that I would need to write a shell script for this, to do network checks as obviously I won't always be connecting to my network.

When my husband and I installed Open SuSE 11.2, we made the mistake of telling it to have my other 2 hard drives owned by root. So now, whenever I want to open my other 2 hard drives, I have to type in the root password. How can I change this?

On Linux Mint (Gnome) i used to go to Network drive. that is on the right hand side of Nautilus there is a short cut for Network. in there i could see my network hard drive and other laptops connected to the network, and i could access my files. but on OpenSuse, when i open the network folder, nothing comes up. may be it needs some sort of configuration.

I have a fileserver running openSUSE 11.2 and samba services for file access from MS Windows based workstations. My question relates to changing default permissions on files and directories created from the windows clients.
Following are extracts of the /etc/samba/smb.conf file :
Even with the above entries, sometimes there are files and directories created by the windows clients having permission
Probably my lack of understanding in ACLS.

I have mounted a windows network share using the gnome desktop environment, using Places -> Connect To server.The network share is OK, and I have the icon on my desktop and can see all the files.I want to be able to use this network as well in the console, so I need the mount point.What is the location on the filesystem were this networkdrive gets mounted? I find nothing in /mnt and nothing in /media also using mount to look at the registered mounts, there is no entry for the networkdrive.Nevertheless, I have this networkdrive now open in my desktop, and have an option to unmount it.I know that using the mount.cifs command you can specify the mounting point.

I have samba installed. I also have a Windows NTFS disk mounted on Ubuntu. To share the file, I migrate to the folder with the file manager, right click on it and select "Sharing Options". I get the message
'net usershare' returned error 255: net usershare add: cannot share path /mnt/Windisk/<path> as we are restricted to only sharing directories we own. Ask the administrator to add the line "usershare owner only = false" to the [global] section of the smb.conf to allow this.

I have a line in the fstab file which automatically mounts a network drive every time I start up Ubuntu. I browse to a text file on the network drive and open it using gEdit and make changes to it. Then, when I hit the save button, a bright red warning appears:
Could not save the file [path here] gedit cannot handle file: locations in write mode. check that you typed the location correctly and try again. This also happens if I do save as. Then, after this error appears, the file actually disappears (gets deleted) from the network drive and in order to save it, I have to select save as again and type in the original filename. The line in my fstab file is:
//files.example.com/username /media/Network-Drive cifs uid=myname,umask=000,credentials=[cred file here],domain=mydomain 0 0
I'm not sure if this has something to do with the file permissions or gEdit itself or using cifs to mount. When I use the "ls -l" command on the file, I get
-rwxr-xr-x 1 myname root 7402 2010-06-28 01:14 textfile.do
which should be fine since the user has all permissions.

I work on machines with different architectures, all of which share the same home directory(what is the technical term for it -- network mounting ?). Since I don't have admin privileges on these systems, I have installed programs in /home/<my_id>/bin. A program compiled for one architecture doesn't work when I login into another system. I'm thinking of creating architecture specific directories which would contain inaries/libraries specific to that architecture and creating a softlink to it t /home/<my_id>/bin. The only problem with this solution is that I can't work on two systems at the same time.

I have network drive which connected to my wireless router via usual LAN cable. I mount this network drive using Samba to my Kubuntu laptop filesystem. When I play music (MP3, Flac) from that drive, it sometimes hiccups - music stops for few seconds and then resumes. I usually use VLC, but MPlayer and Audacious have same results. I tried to increase buffer in my VLC -> ALSA settings. I increased it from default 300 to 5000ms, still same result. I have very similar issue on same laptop when booted to WinXP. The only player which does not have hiccups in XP is KMPlayer. But it does not want to work in Kubuntu at all.

I'm new to networks and servers, been using Linux on the desktop for a while now but always relied on the company's IT guy for setting up everyting LAN-based.
Now I want to build up my home LAN, and want to do it with Linux. I've managed to set up LAMP and file share servers.
What I am looking for is information on what I need, and how to set up a server for the following tasks:Centralized Username and Password, that when the user logs into any one of the desktops in the LAN, it uses this for authentication
Something that allows this authentication to be utilized in other servers (file access, web access, router logging, etc.). Something to make it easier for continuing permissions from one service to another. e.g. I have IPCop filtering content, and it has provisions for tracking who is making which request if there is authentication going on. (optionally) to run a script for mounting Samba shares or mapped network drives so from one system to the next. For example, in whatever box somebody logs in, it mounts a server share ("smb://Myserver/users/<username>") to a local folder ("my_user_share").
So;user "fred" ="smb://Myserver/users/fred" and user "wilma" = "smb://Myserver/users/wilma" but both would find their respective one mounted under "~/my_user_share". This would be irrespective of which box they are loggin in with. If the server share location changes (new server/servername), I change it on the server so the next time they log in it points to the right place.
I guess it is similar to Window's Active Directory, though I'm not sure what it's called, how to configure it and what it is and is not capable of doing.
