hi ya frank..
yeah... smbmount-2.0.5a seems broken ( on my rh-6.1 boxes too )
have fun
alvin
[root@Server ~]# smbclient -L WinNT -U Administrator
- lists the shares
[root@Server ~]# smbmount //WinNT/C -c 'mount /mnt/test' -U Administrator
Usage: smbmount //server/share mountpoint [options ...]
Version 2.0.5a
-d debuglevel set the debuglevel
-n netbios name. Use this name as my netbios name
-N don't ask for a password
-I dest IP use this IP to connect to
-E write messages to stderr instead of stdout
-U username set the network username
-W workgroup set the workgroup name
-t terminal code terminal i/o code {sjis|euc|jis7|jis8|junet|hex}
[root@Server ~]# smbmount //WinNT/C /mnt/test -U Administrator
- checking /proc/mounts... it shows wacky/broken stuff
-
- lots of erroneous errors..
- login failures..even if passwd entered is correct...
- /mnt/test being busy even if it is NOT busy...
have fun
