Now that smbfs has been imported into the base system, this doesn't seem to be the case anymore, leading to mount_smbfs etc failing. Also, MAKEDEV seems to be missing code to create these nsmb* devices. >How-To-Repeat: Uninstall any smbfs ports Update to 4.5-PRERELEASE Try "mount_smbfs //LUSER@WINBOX/C$ /mnt", you'll get: mount_smbfs: can't get handle to requester (no /dev/net/nsmb* device) Also note that "/dev/net/nsmb*" in the message could be bisleading, it should probably be "/dev/nsmb*", or even "/dev/"NSMB_NAME. >Fix: I'm not sure about this. The nsmb* devices can be created as part of installworld, or they can simply be added to the MAKEDEV script, as in the following patch. It also creates nsmb0 and nsmb1 as part of "MAKEDEV all", which seems reasonable to me. The devices are created with default owner/group (root/wheel) and permissions (0600), as the smbfs port has always done. Note that I'm just guessing that an nsmb1 device can exist or makes any sense. I haven't been able to find much documentation about that, except the source. ;) There seems to be no nsmb(4) man page available, alas. diff -ud etc/MAKEDEV.orig etc/MAKEDEV --- MAKEDEV.orig Tue Dec 18 05:18:23 2001 +++ MAKEDEV Fri Dec 21 18:54:32 2001 @@ -334,6 +334,7 @@ sh MAKEDEV i4btel0 i4btel1 i4bteld0 i4bteld1 # cdev, ISDN sh MAKEDEV i4brbch0 i4brbch1 # cdev, ISDN sh MAKEDEV agpgart # cdev, AGP + sh MAKEDEV nsmb0 nsmb1 # cdev, smbfs device ;; # a much restricted set of the above, to save precious i-nodes on the @@ -1799,6 +1800,11 @@ cfs*) unit=`expr $i : 'cfs\(.*\)'` mknod cfs$unit c 93 $unit root:operator + ;; + +nsmb*) + unit=`expr $i : 'nsmb\(.*\)'` + mknod nsmb$unit c 144 $unit ;; local) >Release-Note: >Audit-Trail: >Unformatted: To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-bugs" in the body of the message
