Hi, Hairy Will,

I use Pnethood with Japanese Environment (Windows too).
it is not handle Japanese file name.
So,I did small modify.

/usr/local/apps/pnethood/func_mount
Line 28
mount-FULL -t cifs "//${IP}/${SHARE}" "${MOUNTPOINT}" -o "${SERVERNETBIOSNAME}username=${USERNAME},password=${PASSWORD},iocharset=utf8" 2>>${TMP}log

It is necessary for Japanese Environment.

Thanks for that, adding that option causes no problems for my english network.

SHS,
thanks for the log
The two things that immediately jump out at me are
your shares don't have passwords
the share names contain underscores

I used to use underscores to replace spaces in pnethood 0.5 maybe I have some residual code causing a problem. None of my shares are passwordless. I would hope that neither of these is the cause of the problems but there may be a bug in the code.

Your attempts to mount chepenoy and chagatai shares using smb will fail. I think that disciple has demonstrated that smbmount using an IP will not work in win98. Notwithstanding that I am encouraging removal of smb support, maybe I should force the smbmount command to mount via machine name rather than IP.

As to the scan failing to pick up the servers when you have the cifs box ticked, that is plain weird. I presume that cranking up the timeout doesn't help?

By putting the relevant mount-FULL cifs commands into a bash script and making it executeable, I can mount all my shares at once. And unmount them, using another one.

So now it looks like I'm building the mount command incorrectly in func_mount. Please could you post the exact mount command that works. I think I have been using it with empty values for the username and password options, maybe they should not be there at all.

I don't understand what you mean by session username

[Sit Heel Speak]

When I say "the session has a username" I mean the username you type in, along with a session password, to start the Win98 session:

These are not my real IP's and password but you get the idea. Khublai, the XP machine, has no password on its shares, and no username either. Chepenoy (named after Chepe Noyon, also spelled "Jebe" if you're wondering) is Win98SE. It works the same on Chagatai, the Win98-1 machine (Subotai, my T21 Thinkpad, died last Saturday).

I use an existing ext3 partition, /mnt/sda4, as the share mountpoint but it could just as easily be /root/mnt/CHEPENOY and /root/mnt/KHUBLAI like LinNeighborhood does it. You would need to first mkdir /root/mnt of course.

[HairyWill]

Thanks for that. I'm baffled, pnethood-0.64 and 0.65 both include the netbiosname option and the mount command generated should match the one you posted.
You could try adding the following into /usr/local/apps/pnethood/func_mount at line 28 before the actual mount is performed.

Well I saw that You use in smbmount the IP number .

As far I know that doesn't work it should be the machinename .
As far I understand the samba manuals it say the de "service" should be been writen in U(niversal)N(ame)C(ode) text .

For some unknow reasen the cifs doesn't if frugel installetion .
It gives error on the unionfs system .

HairyWill :
Failure to load the cifs module might be cured by setting the kernel boot flag to use aufs instead of unionfs. I presume you are using a puppy that includes cifs such as 4.00.

In my hardisk instalation of 4.0 it has unionfs and cifs loaded .
If I start from a CD , i have know idea how to set the boot parameters it to unionfs . (maybe it default ?)

Béèm :
I give in a rxvt pnethood 10.0.0.10 and that works perfectly well.

I tryed it . It finds the otherside but cann't mount .

It very hard why something works on machine A and doesn't work on machine B .
