Greetings,

I am relatively inactive on this list. I am trying to mount samba on an lfs-based machine. I am experiencing difficulties. The machine has lfs (kernel2.6.11.5 installed. There is kernel support for smbfs. The machine does not have samba installed nor smbclient. (This is because it is intended as a gageway machine) and the present exercise in mounting samba from an external server is for network-setup verification.

The external samba server mentioned has two shares; a public share that requires no password and a normal share that requires authentication. I am experiencing difficulty mounting either. I have tried various options after the -o tag. Examples of my efforts are in the attached file. Help would be appreciated.

Yours sincerely

lux-integ.
