John,
Are you truly trying to mount from the client (sounds like it)
instead of as a user logged into the client (which would mean the mount
request comes from the LTSP server, not the client)?
If so, unless you mounted the LTSP root file system read/write (not
recommended), /etc is not writable by the client. Sounds like Samba is
trying to modify mtab and create a tmp file (~) first, which is what it
is complaining about.

Hello,
We are using LTSP 4.1, 2.4.29 kernel. I am trying to get a client to
mount a Windows share (the D: drive) but am having a problem. Testing
the same mount command from my (fc4 linux) work pc, works fine. So it's
not a Windows permissions issue.
In using the smbmount command I am getting the following error:
smbmount //141.163.x.x/d$ /mnt -ousername=xxx
(It prompts here for 'Password:')
Can't get /etc/mtab~ lock filesmbmnt failed: 1
The file /etc/mtab exists but has nothing in it.
Anyone any ideas about this? The list archives show pretty much nothing
about problems with /etc/mtab, so obviously it is something odd
locally :-( Not sure why the '~' is there, but that is what the error
reports.
Thanks,
John.
