Description Mark Bainter 2002-05-14 16:32:53 UTC
samba expects to find smbmnt in /usr/bin.  Unfortunately, it doesn't seem to
check your path for it, so adding /usr/sbin to your path won't fix the problem.  

The quick fix is (obviously) symlinking /usr/sbin/smbmnt to /usr/bin/smbmnt
Comment 1 SpanKY gentoo-dev 2002-09-04 08:29:27 UTC
root@rux0r root # strings /usr/bin/smbmount | grep smbmnt
smbmnt
/usr/sbin/smbmnt
execvp of smbmnt failed. Error was %s.
smbmnt failed: %d
root@rux0r root #

this may have once been valid but it no longer is, so closing bug
