Space is up front, first character, and I'm not permitted to change it :( These are my current versions. I don't know how to check the version of smbfs, but though it was part of the samba package.

Hi, it's me again. Sorry, but i wasn't able to reproduce your other problem. I just changed the machine name of my server to contain a hyphen and changed my fstab accordingly resulting in absolutely no problems. Always be sure to use the latest version of smbfs (comes with the kernel - mine is 2.2.5-SuSE) HTH, Torge On Tue, 14 Oct 2003 11:16:50 +0200, Torge Husfeldt <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: > OK, > i'm working on this one. > First of all one remark: > You were posting your question in a Samba group. > i.e. a group that deals with the questions and problems > around the samba server. > Please try also to find people or groups that are more > concerned with the smbfs questions, because that more > specificly matches your request. > Second: > I just changed the password on my 'server'(just a little > win98 notebook that has a share to share) to contain a space > and added the space in my credentials file - the mount succeded! > Make sure to not put any quotes or backslashes in there and don't > put the space up front - as is mentioned in the bugs section of > the man page. > > HTH, > Torge > On Thu, 9 Oct 2003 15:08:29 -0400, Erik Soderquist > <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: > >> Since you seem to be good with challenges, would you care to try one? > always! >> The short version is that I can't automount a share on a windows server >> from samba if the machine name has a hyphen in it or if the password has >> a space in it.
