Hi Garrett,

Unfortunately, Samba's smbclient is not currently supported by our CIFS implementation.

Support for smbclient is currently scheduled for release later this year.

Could you not use the new MIB variables in 5.3 (eg. "cifs stat") to monitor the CIFS service?

Hi,

Anyone know of any issues with smbclient (version 1.9.18p8) and filers running CIFS (OnTap 5.2.1)?

Session setup is failing. I can use smbclient to connect to my NT servers but not the filer. I notice from the debug output of smbclient that it says "Using encrypted passwords" Could this be the problem? Can't see anything on the smbclient man page to force it to use unencrypted passwords.

Here's some "-d 3" output from smbclient:

Connected max mux 32 max vcs 1 max raw 65536 capabilities 0x42dd Sec mode 8195 max xmt 8192 Got 8 byte crypt key Chose protocol [NT LM 0.12] Server time is Thu Apr 15 14:16:23 1999 Timezone is UTC+1.0 Password: Using encrypted passwords Session setup failed for username=<username> myname=<FreeBSD hostname> destname=TOASTER ERRSRV - ERRerror (Non-specific error code.)

(Before you all say "use NFS", I'm writing some monitoring tools that will run on a FreeBSD box and will actually fetch a file from the filer and calc a CRC to ensure it's ok. This way I know the file service is available)

Thanks, GB
