I'm experiencing a strange problem with smbfs and can't find any references to it on the web. I've mounted a share from a win2k machine that contains JPEG images to a mount point on my FreeBSD system using mount_smbfs. The mount point is located within an http directory tree so the JPEG images can be published on the web without using ftp.
>From the FBSD console (or terminal), I can read, copy, and write to/from the win2k share. All files within the win2k share are showing 755 permissions. When I point a web browser (konqueror,MSIE) at the URL for this particular mount point the contents of the share show up (http directory listing) but I can't view any of the JPEG images. When I click on any image listed in the http directory listing, they show up blank just as if you had requested an image that doesn't exist on the web server. >From the FBSD side, I changed directory to the win2k share and created an HTML file that output text only. It worked. After refreshing the web browser, the .html file was listed and when I clicked on it, it rendered the text. Next, I added an <img> tag to the same HTML file in the win2k share so it would output a JPEG image that was located there. The text appeared, but the image didn't. Next, I used a third machine running XP and accessed the win2k share via windows explorer. I clicked my way into the share and XP rendered all the images. I don't have X on the FBSD machine so I was not able to test viewing the JPEG images locally on the FBSD side. For some reason, JPEG images located within a smbfs mount will not display through a web browser. Has anyone else experienced this? Anyone willing to try to reproduce this? I don't know if this is smbfs, samba, or apache.
