Bug #66
Updated by Daniel Curtis almost 10 years ago
After noticing the Collaboration Server had ports open for Samba, I decided to turn off the Samba service, then remove and purge the service, however I wanted to test connectivity to see if I could still mount Samba shares. h2. 1. Turn off Samba <pre> sudo service smbd stop sudo service nmbd stop </pre> h2. 2. Attempt to mount CIFS share <pre> mount -t cifs -o user=Guest //nas.example.com/data /media/share/ </pre> This returned the following error: > mount: wrong fs type, bad option, bad superblock on //ppc-nas.altservice.com/data, > missing codepage or helper program, or other error > (for several filesystems (e.g. nfs, cifs) you might > need a /sbin/mount.<type> helper program) > In some cases useful info is found in syslog - try > dmesg | tail or so h2. Install CIFS * Install cifs-utils <pre> sudo apt-get install cifs-utils </pre>
