Hi I'm not sure if I'm totally out here, but have u tryed apt-get install smbfs?
If I do apt-cache show smbfs it gives a lot of output, here is some: Source: samba Version: 2.999+3.0.alpha20-3 Replaces: smbfsx Depends: netbase (>= 2.02), samba-common (= 2.999+3.0.alpha20-3), libc6 (>= 2.2.5-13), libcomerr2, libkrb53, libldap2 (>= 2.0.23-1) Suggests: smbclient Conflicts: smbfsx, suidmanager (<< 0.50) Filename: pool/main/s/samba/smbfs_2.999+3.0.alpha20-3_i386.deb Size: 332206 MD5sum: ce57f71ab5f299476c4a01da833ab56f Description: mount and umount commands for the smbfs (for kernels >= than 2.2.x) /ernst On Mon, 25 Nov 2002, Tim Verry wrote: > > mount -t smbfs -o username=me,password=foobar //server/share /dir/dir > ERROR: smbfs filesystem not supported by the kernel > Please refer to the smbmnt(8) manual page > smbmnt failed: 255 > > Woody with kernel 2.2.20, newest KDE, updated apache, sendmail, webmin > installed, other than that pretty basic. > > cat /proc/filesystems reveals that there is no smbfs > modprobe smbfs says can't locate module > modprobe smbfs.o says can't locate module > locate smbfs.o finds nothing > searching Debian packages for smbfs.o gets hits on kernel images only > > I downloaded and installed Samba 2.2.7 and configured with "./configure > --with-smbmount" thinking it would put everything into place, it changed > nothing except that it was looking for smb.conf in a new place so I copied it > there. > > Have a variety of samba tools installed, in spite of their (at least partial) > dependance on smbfs none of them installed it or checked if it was installed. > smbclient works fine, creating smb shares works fine, the only Samba thing > that doesn't work is smbmount. > > Now when I run dselect I see that it is not aware that samba has been upgraded > - how do I tell dselect what version it really is?
