Is cifs supported on Suse sles10 x390 ? I had read that on Novell but then someone had said to me it was not supported on MF Linux right now. I did try it and received this in the messages log where as the smbfs works now.

Here are two correct mount commands. Note that cifs is the successor to smbfs: mount.cifs \\\\coco\\profile /mnt/coco/ --verbose -o user=administrator,password=**********,ip=10.0.0.253,domain=class.corridors mount -t cifs \\\\coco\\software /mnt/coco.software --verbose -o user=administrator,password=**********,ip=10.0.0.253,domain=class.corridors This works too: mount.cifs //coco/profile /mnt/coco/ -o user=administrator,password=**********,ip=10.0.0.253,domain=class.corridors The arguments on the mount commands here should appear in fstab if that's what you are using. The credentials can be picked up from a file, so as to maintain confidentiality. Mostly, I prefer to not use backslashes so as to avoid hassles with programs that think they should be escaped and so reduce two to one, potentially several times. Note, on SLES10 (and probably 9) you should be specifying cifs, not smbfs; smbfs hasn't been maintained for some time. > > Best regards, > > - > Amelia Nilsson > > www.linuxchick.se > [email protected] > +46 762 77 42 77 > > > If you're not the intended recipient of this e-amail please delete this > e-mail and inform the sender.
