smbmount problem
hi, i am running fbsd 5.1. when i try to mount a samba share on a debian system i get : smbfs: server name "x.y" too long the server name is 16 chars long and i found out (looking at the sources) that there is a limit of 15. my question: why is there such a limit? (i used this share from several linux distros without any problem). does this mean i have to change the hostname of the debian system (which could not be really a solution...) or is there any other workaround ? thx for ur help seb ___ [EMAIL PROTECTED] mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-questions To unsubscribe, send any mail to "[EMAIL PROTECTED]"
