Hello,

I just installed the binary package in Linux debian and I'm trying to get CIFS to work, but I can't even seem to connect via smbclient in the local host!

I check the alfresco.log file and it seems that my user has no permissions to lauch the CIFS server:

Do I really need a user with root permissions to set this up? If not, what are the privileges I need to get this working?

Thanks,

Danilo

Hi,

On linux you can either run as root so the CIFS server can bind the privileged ports 137/138/139/445 or you can setup firewall rules to bounce incoming requests to non-privileged ports so Tomcat/Alfresco can be run using a normal user account.

Cheers

Gary
