I get somewhat confused trying to go through the mount_smbfs man page.
Operands
The mount command supports the following operands:
resource //[workgroup;][user[:passwo...@]server/share
The name of the resource to be mounted. In addition to
its name, you can specify the following information
about the resource:
What is an example of a `resource' in the cmdline above?
Are they just referring to the fs type (in this case smbfs)?.
Is the semi-colon at //[workgroup;]
^ here
supposed to be a colon? It appears to cause the command to fail if
actually included in the command.
I'm thinking some thing like this is what is meant (except for the
`resource' part - wrapped for mail - passwd x'ed out):
mount -F smbfs resource?? //HOME;reader:xxx...@mob1/mob1-c\
/mnt/mob1-c
mount -F smbfs //HOME;reader:xxxx...@mob1/mob1-c /mnt/mob1-c
mount: Mount point cannot be determined
bash: reader:xx...@mob1/mob1-c: No such file or directory
It also fails if I make the semi-colon a colon.
mount -F smbfs //HOME:reader:xxxx...@mob1/mob1-c /mnt/mob1-c
mount: session setup phase failed: syserr = authentication failed
I don't really understand what I'm doing as must be obvious but are
those command lines at least close?
The user has accounts on osol server and in the case above what would
be the windows server. The users passwd has been in place for ages.
I've been able to mount these shares with no problesm from a linux
machine with mount.cifs.
So whats the problem above, can anyone tell?
I've posted an attachment in a companion thread:
Subject: osol cifs server windows xp clients no network neighbor
showing every detail known to man about my cifs setup. if anyone
cares to look but cifs isn't being served in this scenario.. the osol
machine is client.
