There may be another problem: "mount.smbfs" works on my machine(s), "mount.cifs" doesn't. Maybe it depends on the OS on the other machine - Windows 9x may not accept cifs. And I have some Windows 9x machines. But I see similar error messages when I try to mount shares from a Linux machine (smbfs works, cifs doesn't work). Samba 3.0.28. (working as root, the share lies on a Windows 98 machine) mount.cifs //DFUE/COMM /mnt/DFUE --verbose -o user=me%mypass parsing options: user=me%mypass mount.cifs kernel mount options unc=//DFUE\COMM,ip=192.168.0.24,pass=mypass,ver=1,user=me,,,,,,, mount error 2 = No such file or directory Refer to the mount.cifs(8) manual page (e.g.man mount.cifs) mount.smbfs //DFUE/COMM /mnt/DFUE asks for the password (as "mount.cifs" does in this short form) and then mounts the share. The share exists, the mount point exists (otherwise "smbfs" wouldn't work). Running "strace" shows that "mount.cifs" stops after reading the command line with "No such file or directory".
