Description Alastair Nicol 2002-05-07 01:45:26 UTC

hiya,
  mount -t smbfs -u username=x,password=x  //my/share /mnt/smb

fails with
execvp of smbmnt failed. no such file or directory

smbmnt is in PATH so i dont understand why its not being picked up.

doing a 

ln -s /usr/sbin/smbmnt /bin/smbmnt 

corrects the problem

is this a problem with the ebuild script???

Comment 1 Alastair Nicol 2002-05-10 10:06:46 UTC

this was a build from samba-2.2.4.ebuild

after some investigation...

updating the ebuild script to add to the .configure

--bindir=/usr/sbin

appears to be a better long term fix, samba appears to work ok for me after this
change
however i dont know if this has broken anything else.

also...
samba/files/samba-2.2.2-smbmount.diff gets added to the build for 2.2.4,
this is to remove a "ln -s" for smbmnt in the samba sources.
why this patch?? there are no comments. is this to fix a sandbox error??
