[chef] Re: Re: Using UNC path was Re: Re: Re: Re: A question about chef-splunk cookbook

[o haya < >]

Hi,

The share was configured with permissions for "Everyone", so I can see the 
share without any credentials.

So, for example, when I did the mount to /mnt/shareit, I could do "ls 
/mnt/shareit" and see the RPM files there.

For the test where I used the mount, I:

- Did "mount"
- executed "chef-client -o 'recipe[chef-splunk::install_server]'

And I got the error.

Jim

 Usually if the share need
 credentials the path is to mount the share, remote_file with
 local path to the mounted share as source and then
 unmount.
 
 Is this what you
 tried ? On Linux, unlike Windows the share access rights are
 not stored in the user session
