What is the current thinking on the smbfs/cifs fiasco in 10.2? Like many other people, when I try to use smbmount I get the message:
suillus:~ # smbmount //lactarius/ext-backup mnt Password: ERROR: smbfs filesystem not supported by the kernel Please refer to the smbmnt(8) manual page smbmnt failed: 255 smbmount worked just fine in previous releases. Some research told me that I should be using cifs instead, and I got this (from a root shell): suillus:~ # mount.cifs //lactarius/dext-backup.mnt mount error: could not find target server. TCP name lactarius/ext-backup not found No ip address specified and hostname not found ~~~~ Try the following; mount -t cifs -o username=yourusername,workgroup=yourdomain //windowsbox/sharename /mnt/yourmountname You'll be prompted for a password. ~James -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] For additional commands, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED]
