That's why I try to understand your setup.
That may be but some things maybe more or less universal. You still didn't answer the question: Can you see an osol cifs server on any of your windows clients using the Windows applet`Network Places' or not?

And it was not a problem before I started adding the Osol cifs server. And by the way, I'm unable to mount any of the windows machines shares on the osol server either. I get a useless baffling error message when I attempt to mount a windows share with my user `reader' on osol mach. mount -F smbfs //mob1/mob1-c /mnt/mob1-c Password: mount: mount_smbfs: /mnt/mob1-c: Not owner Not owner of what... The mount point `/mnt/mob1-c' Ahhh not so fast: ls -ld /mnt/mob1-c drwxr-xr-x 2 reader wheel 2 2009-03-25 16:53 /mnt/mob1-c User `reader' is the owner there... so where is the message referring to? Trying the same thing with root: mount -F smbfs //mob1/mob1-c /mnt/mob1-c Password: mount: session setup phase failed: syserr = authentication failed The passwd I tried is the same on all windows machines but just to make sure I also tried roots passwd with the same result. > I had a quick look at your config and I didn't see anything obviously > wrong with it. Well that's good news... if you saw nothing in all that output... I must be at least close to a correct setup. PS-I've meant to mention several times now that I really appreciate all your helpful input... You've patiently followed along through at least 2 threads now... you've been very patient with my lack of skill with this stuff too so I thank you for that. _______________________________________________ cifs-discuss mailing list [email protected] http://mail.opensolaris.org/mailman/listinfo/cifs-discuss
