Hi all Since rebuilding a FreeBSD system recently because of the OpenSSH and Sendmail issues, I've landed in a world of pain with mount_smbfs. The system is now running 4.9-PRERELEASE, and mount_smbfs will mount shares from Windows machines on the network without a problem, but it will no longer mount shares from two Debian linux servers running Samba (one 2.2.3a-12 and one 2.2.3a-6).
When I try to mount a share from the two Debian servers, after a few seconds it times out: su-2.05b# mount_smbfs //[EMAIL PROTECTED]/public /mnt/public Password: mount_smbfs: unable to open connection: syserr = Operation timed out It's not an authentication problem, if I use the wrong password, it fails immediately with "syserr = Authentication error". I've tried a longer timeout using -T, and manually specifying the workgroup with -W, neither of which have any effect. I can browse the affected shares using smbclient without a problem, but there is a lengthy delay after putting in the password before the connection succeeds. I know that the Samba versions on the Debian servers are somewhat old, but upgrading them is going to take a lot of doing, and I'm unsure whether it will have any effect. If anyone has some words of wisdom I'd greatly appreciate them.
