It is not clear what you are trying to do. Are you mounting Windows shares on a FreeBSD server? Or mounting FreeBSD samba shares onto a Windows XP client?

We are starting to use mount_smbfs to mount backup shares on our Windows XP systems. Formerly we were using Linux successfully, but now many of our mounts succeed, but don't show any files. We can't tell what might be different among the XP systems to explain the difference, or why FreeBSD and Linux should be different in this regard.

Demonstration (note that "ls /mnt" shows no files, but there are files):

backup2# mount_smbfs //[EMAIL PROTECTED]/backup /mnt
Password:
backup2# ls /mnt
backup2# df /mnt

backup2# mount_smbfs -v
mount_smbfs: version 1.1.0
