Cannot mount smbfs share without requiring manual password
Hi, I have a strange issue. If I type: mount_smbfs //theu...@theserver/myshare$ /mnt/here ... I will be prompted for theuser's password, I type it, and the share will mount fine. But I want this share to mount automatically at bootup. I haven't been able to get it to work through /etc/fstab or through an sh script. In fact typing: mount_smbfs -N //theu...@theserver/myshare$ /mnt/here gives me the following error: mount_smbfs: unable to open connection: syserr = Authentication error I have the following in my /etc/nsmb.conf file: [theserver] workgroup=MYWORKGROUP addr=10.10.10.10 [theserver:theuser] password=$$1571crypto'dpassword I get the feeling that when mounting the smbfs share, it isn't even checking the nsmb.conf file. I've also tried a plain text password, and also including the same information in a /root/.nsmbrc file. I'm running out of ideas. Any help is appreciated.

Hi Ryan, What You have is very similar to what I use, except I don't use the -N Flag on mount_smbfs. Ray A friend recently had this problem and it was due to capitalization. IIRC, the username in the nsmb.conf file needs to be in all caps, whereas the username that is given to the server is actually lowercase, or vice versa. It was found by a google search and just due to caps alone. Try toggling the caps, I know, odd fix, but it worked for my friend --Tim ___ freebsd-questions@freebsd.org mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-questions To unsubscribe, send any mail to freebsd-questions-unsubscr...@freebsd.org
