Hi Christoffer...

I mounted 2003 shares fine with smbfs on 3.0.2a. It broke on 3.0.4 and higher.

Also, no matter what I try, I get "invalid or missing username" when I try mounting via cifs. I've tried using a credentials file and also specifying the username/password in fstab... as well as a direct mount -t cifs line. All attempts result in "invalid or missing username."

Hi

As far as I know you have to use CIFS instead of smbfs when you want to mount from a win2k3 server.

/I'm having a real hair-raising problem here and I thought maybe someone could help. At least I hope so.

My workstation was running 3.0.2a, upgraded to 3.0.5. After upgrading to 3.0.5, I can no longer mount shares on my 2003 server. This started happening on an upgrade to 3.0.4 as well, I might add.

Permissions-wise: I own the directory mounts on the local Linux workstation, directories are set 755.

When I try to mount with smbfs via an fstab entry:

//kitanah/home /mnt/kitanah/home smbfs credentials=/etc/credentials,uid=1000,gid=100,workgroup=RED-ABSTRACT,noauto,rw,users,user 0 0

...nautilus crashes and all attempts to "ls" the mounted directory result in "ls: permission denied." Also, I can no longer work with the directory or unmount it until I reboot.

I've also tried the fstab line above, substituting smbfs for cifs and I get "missing or invalid username," despite the fact that /etc/credentials is in the format:

username=vermyndax
password=(nottelling)

cifs also fails with the same error if I try to do a "mount -t cifs yadda yadda".

I have SMB signing disabled on the 2003 server and this was working fine until the upgrade to 3.0.4 and now 3.0.5. I've spent the better part of two days trying to figure out what's going on, but cannot unravel it. Can anyone here give me some pointers on what I can check?

Thanks in advance.
