I apologize because I know that this has surely been dealt with and documented before, but I cannot find it anywhere on the samba website, nor did a google search produce anything. For future reference, some type of advanced search option for the mailing list archives would be great. I tried the old google "error" "site:site.to.search" and it didn't find anything either.
I can use smbclient with no probs, can transfer files back and forth and it works flawlessly, but, when I try to use mount with smbfs or smbmount, it continuously gives me an error. See below. mwhitelinux:/media# mount -t smbfs -o username=winusername //corpfps02/dfs/Net /media/net Password: 6507: tree connect failed: ERRSRV - ERRbadtype (reserved.) SMB connection failed mwhitelinux:/media# smbmount //corpfps02/dfs/Net /media/net username=nemo Password: 6990: session setup failed: ERRDOS - ERRnoaccess (Access denied.) SMB connection failed mwhitelinux:/media# I'm using Samba version 3.0.21 from the Debian repository, Debian unstable with 2.6.12 stock kernel, mount 2.12r, and the server I'm connecting to is a Windows 2k3 Standard Edition. Is there something that needs to be compiled in the kernel to be able to use mount/smbmount vs using smbclient? Is it something specific to the binary install I have? Any help would be greatly appreciated. Thanks, Mark -- Mark R.
