Jeroen-
Can you provide the syntax of the commands that you've tried?
I've successfully accomplished this by using:
smbmount //{Server}/{Share} /mnt/ntshare -C -U {username} -P {password}
I used ntshare for testing. You probably have created a directory with a
different name under /mnt.
The -C switch forces lowercase passwords (I fought for a few hours to get
smbmount to work, until I RTFM'ed!!)
For more info, check out the SMBMOUNT Man page.
You should also be able to substitute the IP address of the Server for
{Server}. At least I *think* you can...
Once you get this working, you can take the easy way out as I did and create
a 1 line script containing the above. I saved it as DEFIANT in my home
directory (That's the name of the server I used while testing). You can
create it using any text editor available to you. After you create it, you
must add the executable right to the file: chmod +x {name of text file}.
This allows you to execute the text file as a script. For example, I
entered: chmod +x defiant in my home directory.
Then, execute it by typing: ./DEFIANT and the drive is mapped.
Hope this helps!
