I tried altering the position in WBStartup as it had moved, but doesnt help, I just get smbmounter has'nt returned and it pops up gui even though it set to no gui (auto mount).

; Mount SMB shares

I have a NAS mounting with SMBMounter on all my machines. This works fine on them all, whether I'm booting my public update 6 config or my beta config (I have both on each machine).

I don't start SMBMounter from WBStartup, though, because there is no way to make sure the network is up when WBStartup runs. Instead, I have the following in my Network-startup after AddNetInterface:

Code: Select all

; Mount SMB shares
CD Work:Maskinen/SMBMounter
WBRun SMBMounter
CD SYS:

Best regards,

Niels

I tried that way, it then tells me it cant find prefs or mounts file.

;BEGIN Samba
Assign Samba: Work:Maskinen/samba-2.2.5/install
Path Samba:bin ADD
;END Samba

Once in workbench it will launch fine and mount.
If I try from WBStartup, it decides to search for a different mounts file and say it cant find prefs.

I seem have got it to boot without error, but it refuses to run hidden, it pops up and makes me mount them manually.

I have both files in the directory where SMBMounter is installed (in my case as shown above Work:Maskinen/SMBMounter). This is why I do the CD to that directory before the WBRun. Works fine.

Oh, BTW, I also have my main Samba installation set up (of which probably just a few files are actually used), and the Samba: assign pointing to it etc. is set up in Network-Startup before the AddNetInterface line, with these lines:

Code: Select all

;BEGIN Samba
Assign Samba: Work:Maskinen/samba-2.2.5/install
Path Samba:bin ADD
;END Samba

My tooltypes in the SMBMounter icon:

DONOTWAIT
CX_POPUP=NO
CX_POPKEY=ctrl lshift s

But I assume you've got those as well? Apart from that, I'm not sure what to suggest.

Best regards,

Spose I will have to live with manually mounting them.

In SMBMounter's GUI, when you press the Edit button, do you have "Automount on Startup" checked in the Edit window?

And in the same window, do you have username and password (correctly) filled in, and the "Prompt for Login" checkbox unchecked?

Best regards,

Oh, well, that's me out of ideas then. Sorry.

The shares I was mounting had wierd files in them created by os4.1.

1zzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzz.file and
2zzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzz.file.

Now in windows it would not let me delete them, so I ftp in to them.
However on opening first dir touched by os4.1, it executed file time update on its own.

I was then able to remove them. I have done a search and cant find any reference to these odd files.
Anyone else come across this.
