hi frank
does the linux box mount the share properly when done manually ??
these must work:
suse-6.2# smbmount //host/folder passwd -c 'mount /mnt/test' -U Administrator
try one of these in auto.net:
-
- try to change your options and see if helps ( workgroup is optional?? )
-
folder -fstype=smb,login=foo,password=bar,workgroup=domain //host/folder
folder -fstype=smb,login=foo,password=bar,workgroup=domain host:/folder
some additional info here...
