this works: /sbin/smbclient \\\\192.168.0.1\\pictures -U test

without pwd ?

this does not work: mount -t cifs //192.168.0.1/pictures -o username=test /tmp/photos

the smbclient asks for a password

which I enter and viola

[01:54]

and i assume you pass the pass to the -o of mount too ?

[01:54]

I tried the password options on cifs - now don't everyone laugh at once

[01:54]

mount -t cifs //192.168.0.1/pictures -o username=test,password=xyz /tmp/photos

[01:56]

i'm going to watch a little John Stewart while waiting....

[01:56]

thanks for the patience

[01:57]

oh sure, let me know how I can help

[01:57]

I use busybox at work so everything is quite familiar

[02:03]

<JRB_handheld>

hello?

[02:05]

hi

[02:05]

JRB_handheld: handleld hiccups ?

[02:07]

you got reset

[02:07]

"reliable" internet

[02:07]

so, any samba people here yet?

[02:11]

I'm here

[02:12]

hi JRB_handheld !

[02:12]

how goes the CES party?

crweb2: are you able to work with me on a cifs mounting problem?

yep

give me few seconds to get booted up

np

[02:14]

there is a problem with mount -t cifs sometimes

[02:14]

have you tried mount.cifs ?

yep

mount -t cifs -o user=test,pass=something //192.168.0.1/pictures /tmp/photos

mount: mounting \\192.168.0.1\pictures on /tmp/photos failed

awesome

/proc/fs/cifs $ ls -ld /tmp/photos

drwxr-xr-x 2 root root 40 Jan 9 23:46 /tmp/photos

you're funny :-)

ok..

works here heh

what security level is the cifs module using?

[02:19]

lanman or ntlm

[02:19]

cifs uses ntlm

[02:20]

what device is 192.168.0.1 ?

[02:20]

linux box

[02:20]

older version of redhat - 7.3

[02:21]

ah

[02:21]

my xbox can get to it fine as can all my winders boxes

[02:21]

i dunno if cifs support was in samba 2*

[02:22]

hmm... really

[02:23]

yes. such an old kernel and samba probably does not support cifs.

[02:23]

which was introduced in kernel 2.6 i believe

grumble

you can upgrade your samba by hand though

that machine was built in 1998 and it runs great, hate to fiddle with it...

I suppose 9 years is long enough ;-)

i loved RH 7.3

nice and stable for certain

it was the last distro i ever used from redhat, and my last "joy".

now I go with whatever is getting most dev focus

they went over to the bloatware side of the force

and back then they modded gnome to look like kde

so which release is your current favorite?

yeah, that too

that pissed me off back then cause i was totally gnome

yep

but since, i've went qt/kde cause of fights with gnome devs

we all need to stop fighting somehow

it's hard though, lots of strong opinions

i and most of us use newest kubuntu or ubuntu

well, my fighting wasn't holy war

mine was along the lines of "no, we won't fix it because its a feature not a bug"

so on the cifs thing, the server (the linux box) has to have it built into the kernel? samba is a userspace app..

gnome devs.. very hard people to talk to.

no no, i was just giving you a timeline

newer samba will allow you to mount

[02:28]

RH7.3 won't allow you to mount cifs shares though.

[02:28]

so you can serve cifs, but can't mount cifs in RH 7.3

for verification, what windows do you use?

compiling

xp pro

good. if youmake a share on xp, you should beable to mount it with osd

then there's the mac mini in the corner and the modded xbox

[02:30]

if you can't. I'm totally incorrect...

[02:30]

it has happened...

[02:30]

don't forget to turn of XP firewall

[02:31]

ok, I've just setup a winders share

[02:31]

fw off

[02:36]

testing things ... back shortly

[02:36]

crap

[02:37]

you're right

it pics up the xp share just fine

excellent

crap - forced upgrade

of the linux box

i'd just recompile samba

install it separate from the system

in /usr/local/samba

it's on it's way

exactly

that system was built when firewalls and stuff were too expensive

been a long time since i've seen someone run classic linux ;)

hey

careful. I'm more classic than you might imagine.

lol

then i'm just a little kid

first *nix box .... are you ready... Sun 3

nice

first *net connected system - SCORE and MITXX

first sort-a-router experience, an IMP

i've never even seen those. I was going to buy a 33mhz sun workstation on ebay

SCORE and MIT-XX were DEC-20's

can't find a use for it though

[02:41]

door stops

[02:41]

oh, here's a good one, I used the original SAIL system in the early 80's... they connected a bell with a solenoid to the computer and it would chime ships bells

[02:41]

goofy stuff

anyway

i'm sad i missed the oppertunity to go unix. A guy at air force base was telling my dad about unix/linux. He had an extra machine and discs

dad asked me if i wanted it cause it was suppose to be a pretty great thing

i was.. 14 and said. "no.. i'm pretty sure thats old crap"

heh heh, yeah

was totally into nt workstation 4.0

I love to hear that "dd" is 25 years old

but in 1999 linux hit me

good!

had a chance in 1995 though

someplace on a disk somewhere is my contribution to sunos in like 86/87

[02:44]

A few of us, via uucp, created a resolver library for sunos so that we could use DNS which sunos didn't support

[02:44]

what got you hooked, btw?

[02:44]

i got flung into a job by a friend

he handed me a stack of books, and said i'm leaving, there are 2 servers that are linux and 50 widnows workstations. bye.

nice

so i had to install linux at home network to know how to do job

and was hooked. very new and exciting

i toggled back and forth between workstation and linux for about 6 months.

trivia - I paid hans reiser to add journaling to reiserfs in 1999/2000

my anonymous claim to fame

so on the neuros - what's the game plan? I'm kind of looking to replace the modded xbox

interesting

[02:47]

if you fire up reiserfs you'll see a message like "journaling sponsored by mp3.com" or something like that

[02:47]

too bad about hans being diffuclt and all his other probs

[02:47]

i remember who sponsered reiserfs ;)

[02:48]

so on to the future, and forget the past

[02:48]

neuros - cool box

is it running mplayer?

can't find it in the file system..

nope

not mp3's either I suppose

that's the ugly part of the cool box, for video it's running codecs on a DSP

k

for audio, we do most stuff on ARM using xmms2 and OSS codecs

we use a cirrus logics processor on our current box

not too fast, but just right to do the job

heh, this is funny stuff, you've included yellow pages libraries (aka NIS)

usesless

i remember cirrus as maker of video cards back i think in the 286 times

i may be wrong

NIS ? where ?

they make arm processors

and all kinds of goodies

/lib/libnss_nis-2.3.6.so

things depend on it

[02:53]

I know... its just old skoll

[02:53]

there probably is plenty of cleanup to do and rebuilding of toolchain etc

[02:53]

it's no big deal

[02:55]

so the audio sub-system is it an AC97 compatible device with a custom DSP in front of it

[02:58]

nope.

[02:58]

I'm trying to recall from memory, its been a while since i've thought about it

[02:59]

any plans to have higher quality video out?

[03:00]

the osd 2.0 will be hdmi with HD support

plans are still being made on that

but that's the idea

yeah, its still in planning

good deal

the current hardware's video out quality is kind of fixed cause its the max analog can do

nod

other details about the 2.0 is much more open video/audio system

[03:02]

possibily

[03:02]

much talk about TI's davinci

[03:05]

if you join up on the mailing list etc, input, suggestions etc are always welcome

[03:06]

crweb32: does your backup nicks work in powers of 2 ?

[03:07]

yes

[03:07]

2,32,64

if i could get my nintendo online i'd use 8

those are numbers of his favorite football players

whats football?

crweb32: what's the 2bit machine you got online, then ?
